Research Summary / Ethical Considerations Student Class Grand Canyon University Date Introduction Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus‚ MRSA‚ is a common infection in a lot of hospitals‚ nursing homes‚ and among those with weak immune systems. MRSA infections are mostly non-life threatening but can be fatal if left untreated due to its resistance to antibiotics commonly used. Even a healthy person can be a “carrier” and not be infected. To aid in the prevention of MRSA infection

Transmission and epidemiology of MRSA: current perspectives Maggi Banning Abstract Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive bacterium that developed resistance to the penicillin derivative tnethicillin. Subsequently‚ methicillin-resistant S. aureus {MRSA) emerged as a bacterium that became less susceptible to the actions of methicillin and thus developed the ability to colonize and cause life-threatening infections. Globally.‚ MRSA continues to cause hospital-acquired infections which are becoming

Important Things to Know About Before Getting a Tattoo Lori Porter Axia College of University of Phoenix Tattoos are a wonderful way of expressing ones individuality‚ but people need to think about all the ramifications of getting a tattoo before they get it. Serious problems can arise from making this decision without consciously thinking it through. “Tattoos are fast becoming a mark of the 21st century‚ with one quarter of those under the age of 30 adorning their skin with at least

Results: The conventional methods used to identify MRSA require culturing which can take days to obtain. For hospitals needing quick results the PCR method is ideal because results can be obtained within just a few hours (often as low as within five hours). Getting these results in such a timely manner can help to start treatment earlier‚ reducing the amount of time needed for isolation and hospitalization‚ and thus reducing costs. It has also been shown that the PCR method is not only quick but

of antibiotics while the second is due to the fact that “bacteria naturally develop resistance to antimicrobial drugs.” (Clemmitt‚ 2007) One example of a “super bug” is the ever so popularly known- MRSA. MRSA stands for methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus. (cdc.gov‚ 2007 as cited by Clemmitt‚ 2007) MRSA has two different kinds- CA-MRSA is community acquired MRSA and HA-MRSA which is hospital acquired MRSA. (Clemmitt‚ 2007) To reduce the risk of creating “super bugs” the doctors urge patients

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1. ENTEROCOCCUS FAECALIS AND STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS OUTLINE The Human indigenous micro flora consists of opportunistic pathogens along with other nonpathogenic bacterial strains. Two eloquent members of the category of gram- positive bacteria‚ Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus belong to this category. Being a facultative anaerobe‚ aero tolerant anaerobe respectively‚ both of these organisms inhabited the human body for centuries. Ability to thrive in extreme condition
