Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928 which was the first antibiotic that fights bacteria. During the 1900’s pneumonia was one of the leading killers in America prior to the discovery of penicillin. Penicillin is important as it prevents previous life-threatening infections like pneumonia‚ blood infection‚ meningitis‚ and strep throat. In addition‚ because of penicillin‚ several amputations‚ and deaths (due to infection) during the second world war decreased. Many people have benefited

commonly leads to abscess formations (Beers‚ 1442). Staphylococcus aureus is a coagulase positive bacterium‚ and is among those that are dangerous human pathogen because it has the ability to both be extremely virulent and its ability to develop antibiotic resistance‚ (Beers‚ 1442).

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

Peaceful resistance to laws‚ or civil disobedience‚ has a place in our society. Peaceful resistance if used correctly can be very motivating. Peaceful resistance when used correctly can cause people to look at something in a different light and it can cause people to change the way they have been doing things. Peaceful resistance can cause someone to look at something in a different light than they have been before. Peaceful resistance has to be done and yet showing peace at the same time. Whenever

Antibiotics are those that are used in the treatment and the prevention of the bacterial infections. One of the most widely used antibiotics is azithromycin. You can buy azithromycin online as it is easily available on the online drug stores. It is cheap and also in reach to the common man. All you need to know about the drug is that it is used to cure bacterial infections and also we have to make sure that we know the side effects caused by the drug. You can also tell your friends or family to buy

Antibiotic Resistance in Bacteria For about 50 years‚ antibiotics have been the answer to many bacterial infections. Antibiotics are chemical substances that are secreted by living things. Doctors prescribed these medicines to cure many diseases. During World War II‚ it treated one of the biggest killers during wartime - infected wounds. It was the beginning of the antibiotic era. But just when antibiotics were being mass produced‚ bacteria started to evolve and became resistant to these medicines

Introduction: Sulfa drugs are any member of a group of synthetic antibiotics containing the sulfanilamide molecular structure (Figure 1). Sulfa drugs were the first class of antibiotics to treat and prevent bacterial infection in humans. Sulfa drugs have been used less frequently due to improved antibiotics that are more effective‚ have less side effects‚ and decreased drug resistance.1‚ 2 Sulfonamides are still used today as an anti-bacterial medication and for the prevention of burns. The antibacterial

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.
