Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria in Hospitals. Introduction Antibiotic resistant bacteria are bacteria who can survive after exposure to one or more antibiotics. Some bacteria present today can even be resistant to multiple antibiotics and these are sometimes referred to by the name Multidrug resistant (MDR). Today many clinically important bacteria are MDR’s and this is a direct result of past decades of antimicrobial use and misuse. If an infection results from this sort of resistant bacteria a stronger

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Staphylococcus aureus is an important and common pathogen in humans. It is found in the nose or on the skin of many healthy‚ asymptomatic persons (i.e.‚ carriers) and can cause infections with clinical manifestations ranging from pustules to sepsis and death. Most transmission occurs through the contaminated hands of a person infected with or carrying S. aureus. MRSA infections frequently are encountered in health-care settings (Lowy‚ 1998). A common

Disease in the News Paper Drug Resistant Tuberculosis HCS/245 Introduction Tuberculosis is one of the oldest diseases that is still around today‚ and never really went away. World wide there is now concern for new strains of the virus attacking with a vengeance. Recently the World Health Organization (WHO) held a conference and one of the main topics of discussion is the recent strain of drug-resistant Tuberculosis (TB) in Europe. They’ve coined a new term for this new concerning

Listening is often confused with hearing. Roland Barthes (1985) distinguishes between hearing and listening‚ stating: “Hearing is a physiological phenomenon; listening is a psychological act.” Even if all members of the intended audience hear‚ it does not mean that they listen too. And when there are listening problems‚ difficulties in understanding the transmitted message could not be avoided. Effective listening could be prevented by many “habits” which characterize listeners‚ according to O’Rourke

Extreme ionizing-radiation resistance has been observed in several members of the domains; Bacteria and Achaea. Of the genera containing ionizing-radiation resistant organisms‚ Deinococcus and Rubrobacter show the highest levels of resistance‚ and all species of these genera have been shown to be either gamma radiation resistant or UV radiation resistant or both. Microorganisms of the genus Deinococcus‚ which Include D. radiodurans is the type species of this genus‚ and the best studied member. All known

Medicinal Plants and Anti-oxidant Properties. An antioxidant can be defined as “any substance that‚ when present in low concentrations compared to that of an oxidisable substrate‚ significantly delays or inhibits the oxidation of that substrate” (Young and Woodside‚ 2001). It is well known that oxidant by-products of normal metabolism such as free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in excess can cause extensive damage to DNA‚ proteins‚ and lipids. Under stress‚ the body produces more ROS

Besides the reasons why older employees are often resistant to change may include lack of faith in their ability to learn new skills. As for younger employees‚ actually they are not that tolerant towards change. There are still some of the changes they often resists by slightly different reasons with the
