Benefits of MRSA MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is responsible for several difficult treatments of infections in humans. Many MRSA infections occur in hospitals and health care facilities with a higher rate in nursing homes or long-term care facilities. There are many solutions that can reduce these infections which are beneficial for people. “According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)‚ more than 70 percent of the bacteria that cause hospital-associated

Stem Cell Research Adult stem cell research is providing opportunities to treat people with a various diseases and conditions. In 2010‚ a man’s ankle refused to heal so the doctor took bone marrow from the man’s pelvic bone with a needle‚ condensed it to about four teaspoons of rich red liquid‚ and injected that into his ankle. Four months later‚ the ankle was healed! Adult stem cells are found in all tissues of the growing human being and‚ according to latest reports‚ also have the potential

his experiment was done to find out if garlic is effective in killing bacteria. This will help us understand the effectiveness of home remedies such as the use of natural herbs (including garlic) for medicinal purposes. Hypothesis Garlic will kill bacteria and prevent its further growth. Background Herbs and spices have traditionally been used in cooking as they add flavor to our food. These herbs and spices have also been known to many cultures for their medicinal properties. The oils that are

many people have some living on their skin all of the time and it can cause infection anywhere in the body. There are antibiotics that have been known to kill this bacterium. Unfortunately‚ there is a new form of staph infection called community associated methicillin resistant staphylococcus Aureus (CA-MRSA). This infection is a rising concern because there is no antibiotic that has been known to cure it. CA-MRSA is found on the

interacting with microbial functions or structures different from those of the host; thereby showing little or no effect to the host. 2. What are broad and narrow spectrum antimicrobials? What are the pros and cons of each? Broad spectrum antibiotics work against many types of organisms such as gram positives‚ gram negatives and anaerobes. The great thing about this is that these are prescribed empirically so that all potential bacteria are covered until the culture results return. The problem

My research shows the rise in antibiotic resistant pathogens through horizontal gene transfer. Located in the bacteria are plasmids. They are independent‚ self-duplicating‚ and allow bacteria to perform new functions/generate new products. Basically plasmids help their hosts to stop the action of antibiotics and become resistant. “Gene transfer must be integral and critical to the overall survival of bacteria‚ providing a way for them to adapt to difficult conditions” (Levy 2002‚ 83).

A pathogen is a tiny non-visible disease causing microorganism such as Bacteria‚ Virus and Fungus. Both the scientific name and common name for Actinomycosis is Actinomycosis. The pathogens that cause Actinomycosis are from a species of Actinomyces‚ most commonly known as Actinomyces Israelii and Actinomyces Gerencseriae. The species of Actinomyces are an Actinobacteria class of Bacteria. The pathogens are endogenous‚ meaning the bacteria originate from inside the body‚ making them not liable to
