In the 1900s we once considered Antibiotics the “Wonder Drug” it is becoming more clear there are many issues we face when consuming this drug‚ some even life threatening. Having the knowledge on what Antibiotics are capable of can help our future generations‚ the second biggest user of Antibiotics are children‚ taking Antibiotics when having a viral infection can cause more health issues and can have long term effects. One of those effects being the bacteria becoming drug-resistant and multiplying

Antibiotics are rapidly becoming useless and we are forced to deal with the problems of the post antibiotic era. Our current state is urgent to say the least‚ the entire CDC urgent threat list is filled with a wide range of multi-resistant bacteria. Clostridium difficile is the first on the list‚ it is gram-positive and erupts from the distribution of normal colon bacteria. The on set primarily starts by taking antibiotics‚ because Clostridium difficile is immune to nearly all antibiotics. Second

Antibiotics in the Long Term Constantly improving our daily lives by making food safer so that we may live longer and healthier is one of the many things we have developed over hundreds of years of trial and error. Unfortunately there are few solutions that are 100% full proof and it is becoming apparent that the antibiotics that millions use on a daily basis might not be a sustainable solution. In the article “What If Antibiotics Stopped Working?” (Voss‚ 2014) the author begins the article with

Biofilms are communities or bacteria binds together in large groups and make a sticky mesh to make themselves resistant against antibiotics. Some drug that can kill single bacteria will not

A new study in Puget Sound‚ Washington has brought to light that when an orca breaks through the water surface and exchales‚ it sprays an array of bacteria and fungi. Consequently‚ these findings raise concern on whether infectious diseases could be a major stress factor for the struggling population of orcas. Moreover‚ the study took place throughout four years as scientists on boats followed orcas as they swam in Washington state waters and collected the droplets spreyed out as the orca exchaled

4. Results No hypotheses in the discussion section were necessarily falsified‚ but some broad statements were made. For example; “Culture conditions obviously influence the outcome of adaptive evolution.” This statement implies that they have extensive knowledge on all the different aspects of evolution. Many scientists today will admit that we do not fully understand evolution and all the factors involved. To say that the conditions ‘obviously’ influenced that outcome is too broad of a statement
