Results can be seen as shown in Table 6. C5H20NNaO5S2 was particularly active to the multidrug-resistant strain S. aureus MRSA252‚ whereas the compound was moderately active against E. coli and E. faecalis. Butyl amine‚ from which C5H20NNaO5S2 was synthesized‚ showed only moderate activity

(textbookofbacteriology.net). Staphylococcus epidemidis becomes pathogenic when the skin is broken or through contamination from medical procedure. Staphylococcus aureus are only able to invade via broken skin or mucous membranes. Staphylococcus aureus is very heat resistant and reheating foods will not destroy it‚ although the bacteria may be destroyed (www.sunysccc.edu). About 30 per cent of healthy humans are carriers of S. aureus‚ they have the bacteria on their skin without any active infection or disease. Staphylococci

“super-bug” epidemic MRSA stands for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and is a bacterial infection that is highly resistant to some antibiotics. In short‚ antibiotics have been used since the 40’s to stop the growth of bacteria. However‚ the more antibiotics are used‚ the quicker the bacteria become resistant to it while each year more types of bacteria adapt and become resistant to antibiotics. With MRSA being so resistant to many of the antibiotics‚ classifying it as a “super-bug”

Introduction: Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs) are one of the most costly occurring nosocomial infections seen today. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) (2015) stated that the risk of developing CAUTIs is 3%-7% in the acute care setting‚ and CAUTIs comprise 40% of all institutionally acquired infections with an 8% prevalence rate seen in the home care setting. The CDC (2015) further implied that more than 1 million patients who either resides in an acute-care hospital or extended-care

Teixobactin was also very active against Clostridium difficile and Bacillus anthracis‚ while also showing stronger bactericidal activity against S. aureus than the antibiotic vancomycin did. This indicated that teixobactin is a very strong antibiotic. On the other hand‚ most Gram-negative bacteria were not affected by teixobactin with the exception of E. coli asmB1. When further research was done‚ it was discovered that teixobactin

the other harmless bacteria that also live in the gut. So‚ in other words‚ some of us normally have small numbers of C. difficile bacteria living in our guts‚ which do no harm. C. difficile produces spores (like seeds) which are very hardy and resistant to high temperatures. Spores are passed out with the faeces (stools) of people who have C. difficile in their gut. Spores can persist in the environment (for example‚ on clothes‚ bedding‚ surfaces‚ etc) for several months or years. The spores can

and abuse‚ antibiotics‚ once hailed as the savior of mankind‚ are an increasing threat as bacteria grow ever stronger. (Bunyard) The development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria poses a looming threat to the medical industry and to society. A quick look into modern newspapers or journals would reveal startling reports about antibiotic-resistant bacteria‚ also known as superbugs‚ and how devastating their emergence could potentially be.

The Truth about the Food Industry Food Inc. is an eye opening documentary about the food industry in America. It examines the less known facts about the food industry. Our nation’s food industry is controlled by only a few companies who are in control of their consumers’ health‚ the livelihood of the American farmer‚ and the safety of its works. We have bigger chicken breast and there are no longer any seasons for fruits and vegetables in the supermarkets anymore. This new type of farming has
