Abstract The spread of antibiotic resistance is a universal threat to both humans and animals for treatment of microbial infections. The antibiotic resistance is generally not preventable but can still be controlled. Prolonged and repeated use of antibiotic leads to many pathogen becoming resistant to antibiotics. The resistance may be either intrinsic or acquired depending on the condition. Although classically attributed to chromosomal mutations‚ resistance is most commonly associated with

Killer at large: Antibiotic Resistance Remember that teacher who would make students use antibacterials on the way in and out of the classroom? Scientist and medical professionals have now realized that all antibacterials‚ antibiotics and antimicrobials are contributing to a large complication that may make it so no bacteriums can be killed. Since the creation of antibiotics in 1896‚ doctors and medical practitioners have been able to save hundreds of millions of

Antibiotic Resistance Nicholas J. Ciotti Nova Southeastern University Biology 1510 Professor A. Hirons March 28‚ 2011 Abstract Antibiotic resistance is when microorganisms‚ such as bacteria‚ are able to survive an exposure to antibiotics and these bacteria are now resistant to the effects of these antibiotics. Antibiotic resistance in bacteria has been an issue since antibiotics were discovered. The fact that bacteria can become resistant to our medical treatments such as antibiotics

Antibiotic resistance In recent years a challenge to the effective treatment of an ever-increasing range of infections caused by microbes is antimicrobial resistance (AMR). AMR results in reduced effectiveness of antibiotics‚ making the treatment of patients very difficult and sometimes impossible. The impact on especially susceptible patients is most evident‚ resulting in prolonged illness and increased mortality. The total problem caused by AMR on medical field in general and healthcare sector

Using Kanamycin Resistance Bacteria to find the Sources of Contamination of Three Chicken Farms Introduction: Kanamycin is a common antibacterial that interferes with bacterial growth‚ by inhibiting protein synthesis‚ and causing the mistranslation of mRNA. Kanamycin is commonly used in chicken feed to keep harmful bacteria from getting into the eggs and producing healthier chickens. Recently reports of severe gastroenteritis have been linked to eating raw or undercooked eggs. This has led to

Why are people worried about it? ntibiotic resistance is the effect of antibiotics on germs that infect our body. Most of the antibiotics have lost their A resistance to fight germs. People are worried about it because if antibiotics won’t work no longer than we could even die from a paper cut. 2. How can antibioticresist

odorless then comes the question of microbial contamination‚ something the naked eye cannot see. Because of the nature of water‚ its solubility and availability‚ it can be host to many microbes and become the source of many waterborne diseases. Growing population‚ industrialization and rapid urbanization has changed the rate of water demand and consumption‚ consequently water supply. The need for usable fresh water has required all available water sources‚ which are rivers‚ streams‚ lakes to be put

Task- Lucy Kerslake What causes antibiotic resistance? Antibiotic resistance occurs when an antibiotic is no longer effective against a particular bacteria‚ making that organism resistant to the effects of the antibiotic. Bacteria become resistant due to selective pressure. Those organisms which resist the antibiotic‚ and do not die from it ’s effects have a greater chance of survival within the host‚ therefore allowing them to reproduce and spread it ’s resistance to other bacteria. while the ones

A Brief History of Antibiotics‚ Antibiotic Resistance‚ and Antibiotic Alternatives Antibiotic Resistance and Alternatives Antibiotics have been commonly‚ though mistakenly‚ thought of as the ultimate cure‚ for almost all illness‚ for over half a century now. However‚ the intended use of antibiotics is for the treatment of bacterial infections and diseases. Viruses or fungi-related illnesses will not be affected by antibiotics. This misunderstanding of the use of antibiotics has led to overuse
