Superbug Apocalypse Introduction It is well known that in the 21ts century‚ medicine in particular antibiotics‚ has helped saved the lives of millions. Antibiotics are powerful medicines that fight bacterial infections. Used properly‚ antibiotics save lives. However as antibiotic resistance increases‚ the rise of super bugs such as Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus becomes more apparent. That is why it is important to carefully follow the instructions given to you when prescribed

the 1960s and their antibiotic effects were unable to be replicated through synthesis. In this experiment‚ the researchers developed numerous methods to cultivate uncultured organisms in their environment. The goal of this experiment was to find antimicrobials in the uncultured soil. Through this successful experiment‚ the researchers were able to discover a new antibiotic

Propose how would you minimise the occurrence of hospital acquired infection and monitor degree of success of these measures. INTRODUCTION The occurrence and undesirable complications from hospital acquired infections (HAIs) have been well recognized for the last several decades. The occurrence of HAIs continues to escalate at an alarming rate. HAIs originally referred to those infections associated with admission in an acute-care hospital (formerly called a nosocomial infection). These unanticipated

entomology conference. He and his colleagues used insects‚ namely the fruit fly Drosophila‚ to decipher the potent antimicrobial defenses. Over many years‚ these studies have led to a general understanding of recognition of infection by flies‚ the connections between recognition and signaling‚ and the subsequent control of expression of immune responsive genes‚ namely of those encoding antimicrobial peptides which oppose the invading microorganisms. Hoffmann’s interest in insects began at an early age
