Mechanism of action Antibiotics active against bacteria are bacteriostatic or bacteriocidal; that is, they either inhibit growth of susceptible organisms or destroy them. On the basis of their mechanism of action, antibiotics are classified as (1) those that affect bacterial cell-wall biosynthesis, ...
of action. Some are highly specific. Others, such as thetetracyclines, act against a broad spectrum of different bacteria. These are particularly useful in combating mixed infections and in treating infections when there is no time to conduct sensitivity tests. While some antibiotics, such as the...

The major underlying mechanism responsible for this problem is an overuse or severe misuse of antibiotics. Regardless of this emerging global threat, antibiotics are still being widely used, not only for treatment of human infections, but also to a great extent in agriculture, livestock and animal...
The antibiotic-chemoattractant binds to the surface of antibiotic-resistantS. aureus Vancomycin was chosen as the optimal candidate for our antibiotic-chemoattractant approach, as its mechanism of action involves binding to the bacterial surface19,20. An initial fPep (B1, fMLFK(BODIPY)-Pra-NH2) wa...
more than 2700 unique β-lactamase enzymes have been already documented.76CHEC-III already gave a detailed overview on β-lactam resistance by covering the mechanism of action to β-lactamases of classes A, C and D. In this section, the main considerations from CHEC-III will be summarized and...
Our genome-wide view into the mechanism of action of CFD may have an impact in moving CFD forward for therapeutic uses as it is not yet indicated to treat CF infections. We identified three receptors for CFD uptake in K56-2: PiuA (K562_RS21350), HmuR (K562_RS30495), and K562_RS...

Care practices serve as a means of caring for animals stricken with ill-health, as a mechanism of human control over animal bodies and agencies to produce good animal health, while simultaneously enabling their instrumentalisation and economisation (Buller and Roe, 2014; Higgins et al., 2018; ...
The mechanism of action of antibiotics as growth promoters is related to interactions between the antibiotics and the gut microbiota [8]. The low doses of antibiotics are sometimes added to cattle, poultry and swine feed to increase their body size. Example includes Sulphonamides which is used ...
