Proteus vulgaris Antibiotic Sensitivity Assay By: David Toelkes BIO 225 June 12‚ 2012 Lab Partners Alexis Blackmon Cheryl Cardiff Megan Dereani Logan Freeman Abstract Development of bacterial resistance to the antimicrobial drugs identified the need to determine a given bacterium’s susceptibility or resistance to a given drug which prompted W. M. M. Kirby and A. W. Bauer to develop a single disk method for susceptibility testing. This experiment used the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion

In this context the term nonantibiotics was introduced to include a variety of compounds used in the management of pathological conditions of noninfectious etiology. Despite the availability of hundreds of anti-infective drugs the emergence of antibiotic resistance and new infectious agents creates the therapeutic challenge to the medical community. Hence‚ the search for newer agents to tackle the global problem is continuing. It has been noted that many of the phenothiazines‚ thioxanthenes‚ other

well as other animals‚ have you ever thought about the times when all of those animals eat. The feed that they eat very often contains different types of antibiotics. These antibiotics have many raising concerns for health factors when passed through the live stock when those animals are processed for us to consume. I believe that those antibiotics and drugs that are passed through the feed have an adverse effect on the meat when it is processed. There are many articles that have been published stating

and Immunity One of humanity’s biggest blunders is the frequent use of antibiotics against viral infections‚ which include influenza‚ colds‚ herpes‚ etc. Not only do these antibiotics have absolutely no effect to both the patient’s condition and the infection itself‚ these also promote antibiotic resistance. This blunder is aided by the accessibility when it comes to antibiotic purchase. What is Antibiotic Resistance? Antibiotic resistance is a form of drug resistance which occurs when a particular

serious implications for human health. The microorganisms that were previously sensitive to antibiotic treatment are now capable of withstanding attacks by antimicrobial medicines. One of the main reasons that cause antimicrobial resistance is the misuse of antibiotics‚ which includes an inappropriate selection of antibiotic type‚ dose‚ route‚ or duration of the therapy. The widespread improper use of antibiotics for livestock growth promotion contributes the antimicrobial resistance as well. The legislation
