In the article “Understanding Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations and Their Impact on Communities” (Carrie Hribar) it states “This is a serious threat to human health because fewer options exist to help people overcome disease when infected with antibiotic-resistant pathogens”. This shows that when the farmers are feeding and injecting antibiotics into the animals that they stay in the animals system

The highest resistance rates were encountered with Ampicillin 16 (100%)‚ Sulphamethaxazole 15 (93%) and Cotrimoxazole12 (75%) while those susceptible were Gentamycin 16(100%) and Chloramphenicol 12 (75%). Conclusions: There is a high level of resistance to most of the antibiotics used for treatment of shigellosis. Gentamycin was found to be the drug of choice in this

Penicillin Penicillin is a group of antibiotics derived from Penicillium fungi. Penicillin antibiotics were the first drugs that were effective against many previously serious diseases. They are used in the treatment or prevention of many different bacterial infections‚ usually caused by Gram-positive organisms. Some of the penicillin types include ampicillin‚ amoxicillin‚ flucloxacillin‚ and phenoxymethylpenicillin. Penicillin was discovered by Ernest Duchesne‚ a medical student‚ in the

Scientist Cabello works in the department of microbiology says “the industry continues to rely on these treatments‚ administered in net-cages open to the ocean‚ despite growing concerns over antibiotic resistance.”(Cabello) The antibiotics used to treat farmed salmon are becoming resistant to antibiotics making it more

The purpose of this lab is to successfully infiltrate E. coli bacterial cells with a pARA-R plasmid that is antibiotic resistant and has the rfp gene‚ or red fluorescent protein. This can be verified if the E. coli obtains the characteristics of the plasmid when it enters. To start‚ three Petri plates containing agar are needed. On each plate there is a control group and a treatment group; the treatment group being the one with the plasmid. Before the plasmid is put with the E. coli‚ first the bacteria

MRSA is a strain of the S.aureus bacterium that has evolved over the years and therefore has now become resistant to a number of regularly used antibiotics‚ including methicillin‚ penicillin and amoxicillin‚ therefore making it more difficult to treat than other strains of the S.aureus bacterium. The growth of the resistant strains of MRSA has now lead to health authorities and hospitals trying

ood‚ Genetically modified Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods derived from organisms whose genetic material (DNA) has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally‚ e.g. through the introduction of a gene from a different organism. Currently available GM foods stem mostly from plants‚ but in the future foods derived from GM microorganisms or GM animals are likely to be introduced on the market. Most existing genetically modified crops have been developed to improve yield‚ through
