the best treatment‚ but antibiotics should be used in patients with cellulitis‚ patients with signs or symptoms of systemic infections‚ or even those with diabetes or compromised immune functions. In the USA there over 300 strains that interfere with the white blood cells that assist in fighting infections. Treatment for MRSA skin infections are normally performed by a healthcare professional. They would drain the infection and in some cases prescribe oral antibiotics. Some clinicians suggest

Is there a treatment and/or cure There are some antibiotics that are used to cure gonorrhea‚ for example‚ Doxycycline. The only thing about the antibiotics is that there has become an antibiotic resistant strained of gonorrhea. ********** Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease.

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

The main purpose of this laboratory experiment was to utilize microscopic and macroscopic observation‚ biochemical tests‚ and antibiotic and disinfectant sensitivity tests to identify an unknown bacterium.

users are more likely to spread it and less likely to treat it properly. Something that I learned from the articles CDC-TB‚ MDR-TB CDC‚ and Tuberculosis NY Times was that bacteria mutates more frequently when people don’t finish their doses of antibiotics‚ which can lead to a mutated form of TB such as MDR-TB. There are different forms of TB‚ which are MDR-TB (multidrug resistant TB) and XDR-TB (extreme drug resistant TB). Medication and treatment for MDR-TB and XDR-TB is extremely expensive and

Usually staph bacteria don’t cause any harm. However‚ sometimes they get inside the body through a break in the skin and cause an infection. These infections are usually treated with antibiotics. When common antibiotics don’t kill the staph bacteria‚ it means the bacteria have become resistant to those antibiotics. This type of staph is called MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus). Anyone can get MRSA. Infections range from mild to very serious‚ even life-threatening. MRSA is contagious

Cellulitis (sel-u-LI-tis) is a common‚ potentially serious bacterial skin infection. Cellulitis appears as a swollen‚ red area of skin that feels hot and tender‚ and it may spread rapidly.
