Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is an uncommon but serious systemic infection which can occur in males and females of all ages. Symptoms include fever‚ hypotension

infections such as abscesses or cellulitis (4). The symptoms usually include redness‚ swelling‚ and pain at the site of infection. Most of these skin infections resolve without treatment‚ however‚ some infections require incision and drainage or antibiotic treatment to cure the infection. S. aureus also causes staph food poisoning which results from contaminated food (7). It yields symptoms of nausea‚ vomiting‚ diarrhea and in more severe cases‚ dehydration‚ muscle cramping‚ and changes in blood pressure

geographically separate areas of Jordan‚ Micrococcus luteus and Staphylococcus aureus were rapidly killed. Over the 3-week incubation period‚ the number of specific types of antibiotic-producing bacteria increased‚ and high antimicrobial activity (MIC‚ ∼10 μg/ml) was observed in methanol extracts of the inoculated red soils. Antibiotic-producing microorganisms whose numbers increased during incubation included actinomycetes‚ Lysobacter spp.‚ and Bacillus spp. The actinomycetes produced actinomycin C2 and

are exposed to too much antibiotics they could become resistant to the antivbiotic. Bacteria can mutate to become resistant in several ways. One is to deactivate the antibiotic before it reaches the inside of the bacterial cell‚ another is to pump the antibiotic out of the cell‚ yet another is to alter the protein on the bacterial cell so the antibiotic doesn’t recognise the cell and finally they can produce enzymes to destroy the antibiotic. Antibiotics Antibiotics are a type of medicine that

was a new kind of medicine which is known as antibiotics. Antibiotics is a variety of substances that control the growth or kill bacteria. Since bacteria is evolving rapidly and resisting antibiotics due to the overuse of the medicine‚ reducing the need and use would help slow down the bacteria from evolving. There are many things that can be done to help slow down the resistance of antibiotics. If the trend of this resistance keeps growing antibiotics wont be able to help the human body from a bacterial

in understanding different illness‚ and issues that arise in the medical field. More specifically‚ the cooperation of evolutionary biology with modern medicine has helped with understanding antibiotic resistance and susceptibility‚ spread of disease‚ and development of cancer. I will be discussing the antibiotic resistance and susceptibility of E. Coli Biofilms‚ the spread of Tuberculosis‚ and the changes in breast cancer cell DNA. These different examples are going to prove how evolution has affected

MERSA According to the National Center for disease control and prevention‚ Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus is a type of staph infection that is resistant to the usual antibiotics that are effective in treating other types of staph ("CDC - Definition of MRSA | MRSA Infections"‚ 2010). Sometimes antibiotic resistant infections are called super bugs. This essay attempts to discover how it happens‚ how it can be prevented and possible treatments available. What about the body’s immune

In previous studies effective protection against tetracyclin was obtained (18) and also confirms that the Agrobacterium tumefaciens have the sensitivity to many antibiotics including tetracyclin and kanamycin (19). Antibiotic resistance means the abililty of a microorganism to withstand the effects of an antibiotics(20).

pathogen that causes many types of severe diseases. Most commonly it causes skin infections‚ respiratory tract infections‚ and food poisoning. In the 1940s‚ when the antibiotic medications such as penicillin was discovered and introduced‚ it became a primary treatment for S. aureus infections. However‚ misusing and overusing the use of antibiotics caused the evolution of these bacteria to become resistant to drugs that were designed to combat these infections. Throughout 1950s‚ S. aureus became resistant
