have been around for at least 30‚000 years (Luiggi 2011). In our required pre-lab reading‚ we learned tuberculosis is becoming increasingly drug-resistant‚ giving proof that bacteria can adapt to necessary changes in order to survive (Barry 2009). The addition of acetyltransferases‚ enzymes that help move acetyl groups‚ to bacteria can make it more resistant to antibiotics containing aminoglycosides (Norris 2010). An aminoglycoside is simply just an antibiotic whose structure consists of amino-modified

modern medicine as they are becoming more and more resistant to antibiotics. Antibiotics were discovered in 1928 by Alexander Fleming (Walsh and McManus‚ 2000). This resulted in a huge movement forward in medical history and even greatened human life expectancy. Since then antibiotics have been widely used and abused‚ people began to treat everything with this ‘miracle’ drug. If antibiotics are continually used as bacteria grows exponentially more resistant to them then eventually society will fall back

THERMAL INSULATION MATERIALS Thermal insulation materials are specifically designed to reduce the heat flow by limiting heat conduction‚ convection‚ radiation or all three while performing one or more of the following functions: The main function of insulation is to reduce the heat transfer‚ the insulation material must have the appropriate characteristic to slow down the transport of heat occurred by conduction‚ convection and radiation. Conduction loss in insulation is negligible. There are

research in medicine has brought forth antibiotics – a way of stopping harmful bacteria from infecting a person. Growing concern is centered on the fear that the overuse of antibiotics will create different types of “super bacteria”‚ or bacteria resistant to multiple kinds of antibiotics. This fear is legitimate – mankind could be fast-forwarding the evolution of harmful viruses or bacterium‚ leading

GM crops can be altered to be resistant to harsh weather conditions. These include drought-resistant‚ heat-resistant‚ and cold-resistant crops. These changes allow areas that were not previously used to grow crops due to weather conditions to be used for agricultural purposes. Drought-resistant crops allow the arid regions that receive little rainfall or are on the outskirts of deserts‚ such as the Southwest Region of the United States‚ to grow crops. Heat-resistant crops are often used in similar

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 for all other people
