Antimicrobial Agents Lisette Vazquez October 27‚ 2013 Antimicrobial Agents Antimicrobial agents are utilized to kill microorganisms that cause infections. In order to be able to kill these microorganisms we must have an understanding of the factor associated with the infection. The purpose of this paper is to explore the different types of antimicrobial agents and the differences between viral and bacterial infections. Antimicrobial Agent Categories There are several antimicrobial

Misconceptions grew as America was evidently fearful. The United States encountered cholera against all odds and many wanted answers as to why. In an attempt to safeguard America‚ the Metropolitan Health Board was erected‚ which concluded cholera could be prevented‚ not through prayer but through disinfection and quarantine as John Snow suggested. John Snow said boiling drinking water‚ disinfecting clothes and bedding were imperative measures to be taken to ward of cholera. Physicians had tried to

Diversity and Ubiquity of Microbes Pre-Laboratory Questions 1. What environmental settings would you expect to provide rich sources of microbes‚ in terms of overall numbers and different microbial types? Since the most of the microbes are ubiquitous‚ they are readily found in public bathrooms‚ phones‚ countertops‚ door handles‚ kitchen sinks‚ and human body parts such as the face and hands (Sherwood‚ 2017). In addition‚ public places exemplified by hospitals‚ grocery stores‚ and schools present an

My topic that I found interesting that relates to microbiology is Biological Warfare. It is where organisms such as bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi‚ toxins are used to kill or injure people. Organisms that are used in biological warfare are called agents. Biological agents have been around since ancient times. Archers would infect their arrows by dipping them in dead‚ decomposing bodies or blood that is mixed with feces. Now in modern times‚ biological warfare has become more sophisticated. In WW1‚

Implementing the experimental methods learned thus far in the microbiology laboratory allowed an unknown bacterium to be identified as a result of this study. This study allows the student to exercise their ability to use and understand sterile techniques‚ transmission‚ and prevention of microorganisms. Materials provided

K. pneumoniae is a gram negative‚ facultative anaerobic‚ gamma-proteobacteria that can cause pneumonia‚ urinary tract infections‚ cholecystitis‚ and septicemia. (Strand & Shulman 1988) As shown in Table 1.‚ many organisms have developed resistances to commonly used antibiotics. The difference between the standard strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae and the extended spectrum betalactemase (ESBL) strain‚ for example‚ is striking. 12 antibiotics had greater than or equal to 95 percent effectiveness against
