negative impact on the human body in the form of infections‚ commonly involving the urinary tract. Another gram-positive bacteria‚ Staphylococcus‚ exists in the nose and on the skin of humans. Found in these locals‚ it is generally benign‚ until there is a disruption or injury in the skin that introduces it systemically. (Stoppler‚ Melissa Conrad MD). Staphylococcus can be insidious and potentially life-threatening if left untreated‚ causing sepsis if left to run rampant. A yeast delineated as

Other problems associated with regulatory pressures are also demonstrated by the fact that Medicare is planning to no longer reimburse for hospital-acquired infections– particularly Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The Center for Disease Control suggests that there are two main ways to contract any of the common viral illnesses. Contracting may occur through coughing or sneezing with airborne illness (known as “droplet spread”)‚ or through

spreading around. The article starts off by expressing the valid point of the spreading of harmful diseases. A 12-year-old boy named Omar Rivera‚ from Brooklyn‚ died after getting infected by a disease. This disease was Methicillian Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus‚ otherwise known as MRSA. This bacterium is resistant to one of the most potent drug classes in the current antibiotic arsenal. Because of these dangerous bacteria’s developing resistance to antibiotics‚ it puts the risk of mortality higher

Chemotherapeutic Agents of Control: Introduction: Chemotherapeutic agents are chemical substances used to treat various forms of infectious diseases. The chemotherapeutic agent works by stopping the bacteria from reproducing. There are two different kinds of chemotherapeutic agents. The first kind is an antibiotic‚ which slow down the growth of microorganisms. The second kind of chemotherapeutic agent is synthetic drugs. Synthetic drugs are artificially made in a laboratory.

This syndrome is considered to be an acute and life-threatening condition with the death rate being for Staphylococcus aureus five to fifteen percent‚ but for Streptococcus pyogenes it increases to a thirty to seventy percent mortality rate (Hirsch‚ 2014).
