of technological and engineering successes‚ our urban areas are developing. More and more people are being packed into the densely populated cities that are popping up over both already developed and still-developing countries. With the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and increases in contact with strangers met on the streets and in metro stations‚ the state of hygiene of a single individual is now more than ever having a direct impact on the collective well-being of a community.

fibrosis prone to infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa? Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic infection that usually does not affect healthy patients‚ but is particularly detrimental in patients with cystic fibrosis. This is because they are antibiotic resistant to a certain extent. Paired with this‚ patients with cystic fibrosis have a decreased ability to produce mucous membranes‚ making it easier for biofilms associated with P. aeruginosa (Lyczak et al 2002). This along with their seemingly

Double-J (DJ) stenting is the commonest procedure performed in urology. Patients with stent‚ develop stent infections and stent-related symptoms. Use of antibiotics in patients with DJ stent is rampant. No uniform data is there to prove advantage of antibiotic prophylaxis. Colonial way of life of microorganisms‚ complex microbial assemblages are responsible for formation of biofilm. Both gram positive and gram negative bacteria produces biofilm. Biofilm is an important virulence factor and is main

There were eight antibiotics used for this experiment; chloramphenicol (C)‚ erythromycin (E)‚ fusidic acid (FC)‚ oxacillin (OX)‚ novobiocin (NO)‚ penicillin G (PG)‚ streptomycin (S)‚ and tetracycline (T). The mode of action of Chloramphenicol is the inhibition of protein synthesis. Chloramphenicol irreversibly binds to a receptor sit on the 50S subunit of the ribosome on the bacteria that inhibits the enzyme peptidyl transferase. This inhibition results to the prevention of the transfer of amino

penicillin by Alexander Fleming in 1928 might very well be one of the greatest scientific discoveries of his time. Penicillin opened up the doors to the start of antibiotics. Antibiotics are used to fight infections‚ often bacterial‚ that invade the human body. There has been countless of people saved and made healthy again by the use of antibiotics‚ namely penicillin. Fleming’s scientific breakthrough saved numerous lives during and following D-Day. Without the medicine penicillin many Allied soldier’s

frequently found in root canal-treated teeth. Pathogenicity: The organism is able to cause disease. E. faecalis can cause life-threatening infections in humans‚ especially in the nosocomial (hospital) environment‚ where the naturally high levels of antibiotic resistance found in E. faecalis contribute to its pathogenicity. E. faecalis can cause endocarditis and bacteremia‚ urinary tract infections (UTI)‚ meningitis‚ and other infections in humans. Several virulence factors are thought to contribute
