3.8 Antibacterial properties Antibacterial property is another important property required for bone tissue engineering to eliminate bacterial infection in orthopedic implants which generally leads to implant failure. Table 4 showed antibacterial zone of inhibition of CMZH I-III and CZH against gram-positive bacteria Bacillus cereus and Lysinibacillus fusiformis and gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli XL1B. It was observed that the antibacterial inhibition zone increased from CMZH I to CMZH III

Meningitis is a disease that affects the protective membrane which covers the brain and spinal cord known as meninges. Meningitis is originated from the Greek word membrane inflammation. There are three major types of inflammation‚ which may have been caused infection by bacteria‚ viruses‚ and fungi‚ however‚ there are some can be a result of certain medication‚ physical trauma or disorders. Over the 300 deaths every year‚ in the United States alone is the consequence of this very critical infection

MRSA By definition methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterial infection that is highly resistant to antibiotics. Staphylococcus aureus is a strain of bacteria that is normally found on the skin or in the nasal passage way of about one third of the population. MRSA is the staphylococcus aureus bacteria that do not respond to antibiotics. MRSA needs a portal of entry in order to be infectious. This portal can be a sore‚ cut‚ breathing tube‚ or catheter. MRSA can present itself

Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Nosocomial Pneumonia Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common pathogen in nosocomial pneumonia. It is hospital acquired infection that the hospitals eat up the cost of treatment. Although pneumonia can be prevented‚ it is still an infection that we find in hospitals all across the United States. Pneumonia is a dangerous infection in patients who are already immunosuppressed and get pneumonia as a secondary infection. Preventative measures need to be taken to prevent

Surgical site infections are one the most common type of hospital-acquired infection‚ even in occurrence with pneumonia. This is an ongoing problem in today’s health care system. Nurses have many duties to the patient by implementing and following protocols to prevent infections and should also work with the whole health care team to avoid them. Preventing surgical site infections is very important in the perioperative environment. This is so important‚ that the CDC and Hospital Infection Control

As the world continues to modernize and reach new plateaus of technological and engineering successes‚ our urban areas are developing. 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

Scars form on the skin as part of the natural healing process of wounds in which the dermis is damaged. The dermis is the deeper layer of skin. When there are wounds on the surface layer or epidermis‚ scars usually do not form. There are two main types of scars‚ including hypertrophic or keloid scars that form because of an over production of collagen and atrophic scars that develop because of a loss of tissue. Acne scars are most often atrophic. When a pore in your skin becomes clogged with oil
