Antibiotic resistance In recent years a challenge to the effective treatment of an ever-increasing range of infections caused by microbes is antimicrobial resistance (AMR). AMR results in reduced effectiveness of antibiotics‚ making the treatment of patients very difficult and sometimes impossible. The impact on especially susceptible patients is most evident‚ resulting in prolonged illness and increased mortality. The total problem caused by AMR on medical field in general and healthcare sector

Abstract: Stevia rebaudiana is an herb with a very high medicinal value. It has more than 100 phytochemicals. It is used as sugar substitute. The extracts from leaves are used for the microbial assay and study the antimicrobial activity. The microbes used for the testing the activities are E.coli‚ Staphylococcus aureus‚ Bacillus subtilis‚ Salmonella typhi‚ Aspergillusniger‚ Candida parapsilosis‚ Trichophyton rubrum. With different concentrations of the extracts starting from 2.5µg/ml‚ 5.0µg/ml‚ 7

feature of antimicrobial agents? A substance or drug is selectively toxic if the agent used in it is able to kill the microorganism that it is meant to without harm to the host that has taken the drug. This is very important to microbial agents in that it enables these agents to inhibit a microorganism by 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

Furthermore‚ the cell with biofilm forming ability can facilitate a plasmid exchange and hence enhance the spread of antimicrobial resistance. (Watnick P‚ Kotler R

The presence of a clear zone of inhibition surrounding the disk is indicative of inhibitory (antimicrobial) activity against the organism.

In this essay‚ I am going to discuss traditional and contemporary wound dressings and management techniques. I will be comparing the traditional dressings with today’s current modern dressing. When choosing a dressing many circumstances have to be accessed as what type of wound is it? This makes it a lot harder on which dressing should be used as there are so many different types available today. Many that are used in the veterinary practice are in fact used by humans. When a wound is healing

Does IBD serology change after restorative proctocolectomy? The antimicrobial antibodies seen in patients with IBD likely represent an aberrant immune response to commensal bacterial antigens. Since restorative proctocolectomy leads to anatomical changes in the gut‚ it is logical to hypothesize that it may lead to alterations in the gut microbiome resulting in changes in the antimicrobial antibodies expression. This hypothesis has been tested in a few studies. In a retrospective study of 501 patients

Serratia marcescens is also particularly prevalent in hospital patients and is intrinsically resistant to antimicrobials such as polymyxins‚ cephalosporins and nitrofurans (McGraw 1). Although viruses‚ fungi and bacteria are always present in the human body‚ infection occurs as a result of some alteration in
