Urinary tract infections refer to the presence of pathogenic microorganisms within the urinary tract and its classification is usually done on the basis of infection sites:-bladder [cystitis]‚ kidney [pyelonephritis]‚ or urine [bacteriuria] and also can be asymptomatic or symptomatic (Quigley R 2009‚ Schlager TA2001). They are among the most commonly acquired bacterial infections and they account for an estimated 25-40% of the nosocomial infections (Bagshaw SM‚ Laupland KB 2006). Urinary tract infection

would result in less Salmonella outbreaks and would give us an alternative way‚ using bacteriophages‚ to deal with future outbreaks. Also‚ antibiotic resistance is one of the most important dangers to human health‚ threatening to make many treatments to common infections infective. This exacerbates the public health issue of Salmonella contamination because antibiotic resistance can lead to more complicated illnesses and increase the cost of health care. This research could potentially alter our global

fatal problems in living things. No matter how much we think we know‚ microbes can outsmart our advances towards defeating them. They achieve this by passing on DNA to future microbes on how to resist antibiotics. Acinetobacter baumanii is important in the world of microbiology and is a strong antibiotic resister. It accounts for 80% of reported infections related to Acinetobacter species worldwide (Center for Disease Control 2010) not to mention the fact that that this bacteria is majorly hospital

In the field of science‚ new discoveries are being made every day. Even though scientists are finding new things every day‚ over 99% of bacteria or antibiotics aren’t discovered. However‚ recently a new antibiotic called teixobactin was discovered. This antibiotic prevents the synthesis of a cell wall by binding to a motif of lipid II and lipid III molecules. The goal of this experiment was to discover how teixobactin interact with bacteria and how it is able to effectively kill pathogens. A device

using selection and contraselection with three antibiotics: streptomycin(which was replaced by naladixic acid for the second part of the experiment)‚ampicillin and kanamycin and the second one by using a colour indicator ( X-gal). As significant results‚ the percentage of transfer for F’lac was higher than the percentage for transposition. Also‚ the experiment demonstrated that E.coli can quickly acquire resistance to several different antibiotics through the transfer of the F’lac plasmid. It was

In contaminated environments‚ presence of metal resistant genes on plasmids often provide the other bacteria within the same niche to acquire the necessary genes at times of severe (metal) stress.

In addition to allergens‚ transfer of antibiotic resistance genes is another problematic issue. When GM food is being produced‚ antibiotic resistance genes is used. Afterwards‚ because these genes can transfer to microorganisms which cause disease‚ controlling of the infections become harder. " GM foods also affect biodiversity and natural
