Infection is the most important reason of morbidity and mortality in burns. Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are the most frequently colonizing bacteria whereas group-a beta-hemolytic streptococci are the most virulent bacteria and anaerobic bacteria as well as fungi are also common‚ viral infection is less prevalent

Ampicillin‚ gentamycin and clotrimazole were used as positive controls. Antimicrobial activity was shown by all the species except E.coli and P. aeruginosa. Oil showed a highest activity against Candida albicans with an inhibition zone of 19mm and a partial activity of 12mm against Staphylococcus aureus. A similar study was done in Bangladesh

This drug is only used to treat severe acne and not common acne. 15. What is a herpes zoster infection and what drugs are used to treat it? Herpes zoster infection or shingles occur from the reemergence of the same virus that first caused chickenpox in the patient. The virus remains dormant in the body until

(Hitner et al.‚ 2016). Bacterial microorganisms become resistant by the inactivation of chloramphenicol through the enzyme acetyltransferases. (Rang et al.‚ 2016). Chloramphenicol resistance are very common in Staphylococcus spp. such as Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Staphylococcus epidermis (S. epidermis). The enzyme that inactivates chloramphenicol appears to be the product of a structural gene on the chloramphenicol plasmid due to the resistance and enzyme activity. (Shaw et al.‚ 1970)

“DISCUSS THE STRATEGIES THAT ARE USED BY BACTERIAL PATHOGENS TO EVADE HOST ANTIBACTERIAL PEPTIDES AND PHAGOCYTES” The mammalian immune system has two major components; the innate and the adaptive immune system. The innate system is usually the first line of defence and it acts as a strong roadblock to invading bacterial pathogens through direct mechanisms such as inflammation‚ phagocytosis‚ complement system activation‚ antibacterial peptides and indirectly by activating adaptive response through
