The widespread use of antibiotics has consequently caused a widespread evolution of bacteria and viruses. As a result‚ new antibiotics are required to fight the now stronger and more dangerous versions of the same illnesses that‚ at one point‚ could have been

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE This investigatory project aims to make use of rambutan peeling extracts that is high in phenolic compounds such as tannin and saponin that exhibits antioxidant activity and antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria. Although the seeds contain such compounds the peeling exhibit greater amount of the said compounds. Rambutan is a very popular fruit cultivated in the Philippines and it is eaten in large amounts. The rambutans rind is quickly discarded and thrown

to day is the term used to refer to antibacterial which are only indicated for the treatment of bacterial infections‚ there is more than 15 classes of drugs that differ in chemical structure and activity against bacteria. A certain antibiotics may be effective against one or various bacteria. These drugs should not be used and are not effective against viruses‚ which are the main agents of community infections (colds‚ flu). It is however necessary antibiotics in the case of bacterial infections

several test to determine what our unknown bacteria was. To determine this we recorded the results of how the bacteria reacted to different media. Depending on the results of each test we could narrow down the different bacteria to determine what our unknown is. This experiment will also determine if our bacteria is a fermenter of sugars and if it is catalase positive. If the bacteria is a fermenter they will use the sugars to make ATP. If the bacteria is a fermenter of lactose/sucrose the EMB

Natural bacteria levels in streams can vary significantly; bacteria conditions are strongly correlated with rainfall‚ and thus comparing wet and dry weather bacteria data can be a problem; many analytical methods have a low level of precision yet can be quite complex; and absolutely sterile conditions are required to collect and handle samples. The primary equipment decision to make when sampling for bacteria is what

works as a therapeutic agent by destroys bacteria (bacteriocidal): it inhibits cell wall biosynthesis (by disrupting the normal balance between cell wall biosynthesis and degradation)‚ specifically binding to and inactivating enzymes that function to form the cross-linkages of peptidoglycan strands in bacterial cell walls (weakening said cell walls). Since cell wall expansion also requires the action of enzymes that degrade cell walls‚ exposure of growing bacteria to penicillin results in their lysis

Soil Microbe Lab Antibiotics are chemicals produced by substances that kill or inhibit the growth of bacterial cells (Hurney et al 2013). These microbes‚ such as bacteria found in the soil‚ may seem like they would be harmful to the human body because they attack cells‚ however they are very efficient at only attacking the bacterial cells. Actinomycetes are one of the more common groups of these soil microbes known to produce antibiotics. Antibiotics work because they target specific aspects
