Scientist and medical professionals have now realized that all antibacterials‚ antibiotics and antimicrobials are contributing to a large complication that may make it so no bacteriums can be killed.

understand the interaction between bacteria and antibiotics better. Such great understanding would then allow for manipulation of the drug usage‚ thereby strengthening our understanding of how to optimise antibiotic performance. Over the past decade‚ there have been numerous occasions where researchers have successfully identify possible pharmacodynamic outcome predictors‚ and assign quantitative values that would enable prediction of success/failure of antibiotic regimens. Furthermore‚ after reading this

Abstract The spread of antibiotic resistance is a universal threat to both humans and animals for treatment of microbial infections. The antibiotic resistance is generally not preventable but can still be controlled. Prolonged and repeated use of antibiotic leads to many pathogen becoming resistant to antibiotics. The resistance may be either intrinsic or acquired depending on the condition. Although classically attributed to chromosomal mutations‚ resistance is most commonly associated with

MLT1: ANTIBIOTIC SENSITIVE LAB Western Governor’s University When antimicrobials are used to treat an infection‚ the antimicrobial used is based on selective toxicity. Selective toxicity is when the agent selected kills or inhibits the bacteria without causing serious harm to the host. The agent must interact with a function or structure of the microbe that is not present or is very different from the host. There are two different types of antimicrobial agents: antibiotics and antimicrobial
