0314 Biofilms in Chronic Wounds: Current Research and Future Direction ABSTRACT Chronic wounds continue to be a significant healthcare problem. Although myriad factors have been implicated in impaired wound healing‚ recent research has focused on the role of matrix-based bacterial communities called biofilms that are often associated with chronic wounds. Various in vitro and in vivo models have been developed to study the role of biofilms in non-healing wounds. Basic science and clinical

example‚ Sir Alexander Fleming‚ a doctor and researcher at St. Mary’s Hospital in London‚ discovered the penicillin‚ a group of antibiotic derived from penicillium fungi. And it has been used to cure the diseases from bacteria such as syphilis and Staphylococcus infection because it can prevent bacteria to form a new cell (Fogel‚ 2006). Thus‚ the medical development has extended human’s life. People have gained benefits not only from scientists and engineers‚ but also from artists and writers. The artist

With Krista tobacco usage‚ the likely organism is staphylococcus aureus which is a gram positive coccal bacterium. The treatment for the first line is Azithromycin 500 mg orally one dose‚ then 250 mg PO daily for 4 days or Clarithromycin 500 mg orally twice a day and finally Doxycycline 100 mg orally twice

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common bacterial infections‚ impacting more than 150 million people annually and resulting in significant health care costs and morbidity (Foxman‚ 2010; Stamm and Norrby‚ 2001). In the United States alone the costs of health care and time missed from work reach 3.5 billion dollars per year (Foxman‚ 2014). It is estimated that one out of two women will suffer UTI during their lifetime and nearly half of them will experience recurrence (Foxman‚ 2002)

Just like potato chips‚ silly putty‚ and corn flakes‚ penicillin was an accident. Many people contributed to the bringing about of penicillin. The discovery of penicillin‚ the history of it are two very important subjects on how it became what it is today. First of all‚ penicillin was discovered by a bacteriologist Alexander Fleming. This scientist discovered it by accident. He went away for a while and when he came back a mold was covering all his petri dishes. Fleming did some testing with a particular
