Furuculosis is a skin infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus. It is characterised by honey crusted 'cropped' latent boil with potential to recur in a susceptible host. Isolates of S.aureus obtained from both hospitalised and non-hospitalised patients with furuncles in Southwest, Nigeria were ...
Colistin is an antibiotic used to treat acute and chronic bacterial infectionsfrom susceptiblestrainsof certain gram-negative bacteria. Gram-negative bacteria are structurally different from gram-positive bacteria, with an additional cell membrane that gram-positive bacteria lack. The two types of bacteria...

Take great care when applying garlic directly to the skin, as it may cause burns. Don't use garlic as a remedy if you are on blood thinning medication Don't use garlic oil for an external ear infection or if you have a punctured eardrum There are many natural antiseptics that if not a...
In the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection or a prophylactic indication, clindamycin is unlikely to be beneficial and increases the risk of development of drug-resistant bacteria rashes Pain Severe skin reactions including: ...

This effect could also be replicated in cell and murine infection models, indicating a potentially promising combination therapy for bacterial infections [61]. Analogous to silver, it seems that the antibacterial effect of gallium compounds stems from the binding of the free Ga(III) ion to ...
