2014 Week 3 PP Speaker Notes • What additional suggestions for treatment or resolution did you find? There are no additional suggestions for the treatment of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA). There are no alternative treatments. Antibiotic treatment is the only way to treat MRSA. A surgical procedure called an incision and drainage (I&D) is when a surgeon cleans out a lesion to help the healing process. Decolonizing MRSA is an important process in treating MRSA.

may cause many human diseases for example ‘blue baby syndrome’ or E.Coli poisoning. Secondly‚ the animals in some industrial farms are fed with antibiotics to promote growth and prevent diseases. This was also proven to be a danger for humans as widespread use of antibiotics results in breading super pathogens (drug resistant bacteria).Besides antibiotics there are also other toxic substances which are used to feed the animals on these farms. These toxins may be contaminated in animal tissues and

causes of bovine mastitis.(10) Klebsiella .spp are often resistant to many antimicrobial agent . Current evidence implicates plasmids as the primary source of the resistance genes.(2)Klebsiella species with the ability to produce extended-spectrum beta-lactamases are resistant to many classes of antibiotics. The most frequent are resistance to aminoglycosides‚ fluoroquinolones‚ tetracyclines‚ chloramphenicol andtrimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole.(3)Infection with carbapenem-resistant klebsiella pneumonia

Abstract Introduction An antimicrobial is a substance that kills or inhibits the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria‚ fungi‚ or protozoans (Antimicrobial). Antimicrobial drugs either kill microbes or prevent the growth of microbes. Disinfectants are antimicrobial substances used on non-living objects or outside the body.

Some which can not be treated by antibiotics. (MRSA: methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus.) Reasons related to the overuse of antibiotics have contributed to this problem. Infection is caused when the body is invaded by pathogenic (disease producing) organism‚ either bacteria or virus. Usually accompanied by pyrexia‚ sweating and sometimes

‘life’) is derived from Latin & Greek language. The term was first used by Lilly and Stillwell in 1965 to describe “substances secreted by one microorganism which stimulates the growth of another microorganism” i.e. which is exactly opposite of ‘antibiotics’‚ later in 1971 Sperti used the term probiotics to describe “tissue extracts that stimulate microbial growth”. But Parker in 1974 was first to give the term probiotic in a sense that is used now. He defined probiotic as “organisms and substances

easily transferable between bacteria. This transfer of plasmids between bacteria is actually extremely helpful for them and are key in their survival. The plasmid that codes for the Green Fluorescent Proteins is accompanied with a gene for resistance to the antibiotic ampicillin. To ‘switch on’ the gene for fluorescence caused by the proteins‚ sugar arabinose must be added to the bacteria’s environment. If there is no sugar arabinose introduced to the plates‚ then the bacteria will appear white and will

these channels are non-specific which means that they allow molecules up to a certain size to pass through but other channels are specific which means that certain particular molecules can pass through them by not allowing other molecules including antibiotics into the cell. The cell wall channels protect the cell contents. The cytoplasm is a stick substance that serves as the matrix for all the interior contents of the cell. Cytoplasm is made up of 80% of water‚ 20% enzymes‚ nutrients and other molecules

The term pneumonia is applied to many pulmonary infections which are most often caused by bacteria. Pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common and is referred to as typical pneumonia. Atypical pneumonia is caused by other microorganisms such as fungi‚ protozoa‚ and viruses. The difference between them were discovered in 1883 by Friedlander and Talamon. Streptococcus pneumoniae was first discovered by Pasteur who isolated it from saliva in a person who had rabies in 1881. Depending
