Bacteria are the most numerous type of microorganism found in the rhizosphere of the soil. They produce secondary metabolites which are capable of producing antibiotic which eventually inhibit or kill bacteria. The rhizosphere region of the soil is a highly favorable habitat for the proliferation‚ activity and metabolism of numerous microorganisms. The magnitude of this area depends on the plant and the size of the roots that the plant possesses. Bacteria are among the microorganisms living in the

4 Clostridium Difficile Infection with Clostridium difficile most commonly occurs in people who have recently had a course of antibiotics and are in hospital. Symptoms can range from mild diarrhoea to a lifethreatening inflammation of the bowel. No treatment may be needed in mild cases except drinking plenty of fluids. However‚ treatment with specific antibiotics is needed in more severe cases. What is Clostridium difficile infection? Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) is a bacterium

Gram negative bacteria resistant patterns are troublesome to the general public because common illnesses could suddenly become deadly. Carbapenem antibiotics are seen as a last resort. If gram-negative bacteria develop a resistance to this antibiotic‚ antibiotics could become useless in treating a super resistant strain of gram-negative bacteria. NMD-1 is one of the most resistant genes found in gram negative bacteria. If this genes is readily passed between different types of bacteria‚ widespread

Poor health care‚ poverty‚ human migration‚ emerging disease agents‚ and antibiotic resistance all contribute to the expanding impact of infectious diseases.” However‚ there are several defense mechanisms that can be utilized‚ in an effort‚ to protect against invasion and decrease susceptibility of the diseases caused

Staph Aureus has genetically developed to resist many antibiotics (Larsen‚ 2011). Staph Aureus reproduces very quickly and make a whole new generation in thirty minutes (Seubert‚ 2008). Staph Aureus is a good bacterium to use in experiments because it reproduces very easily and is commonly found. Honey is made

The ten Petri dishes that exclusively did not contain an antibiotic in the bacteria culture served as the control. There were ten trials for the control and each level of IV. The experiment began by cleaning the work area and sterilizing it with 70% ethanol. Then trypticase soy agar (TSA) was poured into six groups of 60 Petri dishes (See Appendix 1). The dishes were labeled based on the antibiotic used and were left to dry and solidify at room temperature. After an hour‚ the dishes were placed in

I wrote an Op-Ed article to The Daily Nexus‚ the UCSB-run campus newspaper. I discussed the topic of antibiotic resistance and how bacteria’s resistance to antibiotics is on the rise. Various strains of bacteria are no longer affected by some antibiotics‚ which could become a significant threat in the future if modern antibiotics are ineffective. We as humans rely heavily on antibiotics and other medications to deal with diseases and other illnesses. Modern medicine was one of the greatest advancements

For example‚ bacteria can acquire DNA that makes them resistant to antibiotics.” This seems good until we see that bacteria has started to become resistant to antibiotics‚as stated above. The increased genetic variety has caused a lot of problems in the medical world and with medicine.

To ensure that they stop this from happening there are some steps and precautions doctors
