Antimicrobial resistance is becoming more widespread, and in at least one case, an organism resistant to all known antibiotics has emerged, bringing with it the potentially terrifying prospect of a modern-day p
The video “Program Four: Creators of the Future” talks about microbes in general; especially how some of them are resistant to antibiotics in various circumstances. Microbes are all around the world, even inside us. Many microbes are beneficial to humans but some of them are not. They are...
The microbiological vulnerability and the resilience of the aquatic environment to contamination by fecal germs, which in industrialized countries is accompanied by pharmaceutical contamination, will be a major health concern. Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a complex ecological phenomenon which should...
Answer to: Discuss why many bacteria have become resistant to the antibiotics that were once used to destroy them By signing up, you'll get...
The aims of this study were to determine the levels of Hg-resistant bacteria in healthy community-based children who had never been exposed to amalgam restorations and to determine if these organisms were also resistant to antibiotics. Access through your organization Check access to the full text...
Antibiotics are used to fight pathogens but also target commensal bacteria, disturbing the composition of gut microbiota and causing dysbiosis and disease1. Despite this well-known collateral damage, the activity spectrum of different antibiotic classes on gut bacteria remains poorly characterized. Here ...
Discuss, giving detailed examples, a) antibiotic modes of action on bacteria and b) mechanisms of resistance to antibiotics.Effects of Antibiotics:The bacterial culture is when subjected to a certain antibiotic; the drug action destroys some while som...
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria from livestock pose a deadly risk to people. But the farm lobby won't let scientists track the danger
Susceptibility to antibiotics and human-targeted drugs correlates across bacterial species, suggesting common resistance mechanisms, which we verified for some drugs. The potential risk of non-antibiotics promoting antibiotic resistance warrants further exploration. Our results provide a resource for future ...
Antibiotics are the compounds mainly synthesized by the microorganism during the stationary phase of their growth and help the microorganism to outcompete other ones present in the surrounding in competition for nutrients and which facilitates the growth of synthesizing organism....
