As Merck Manuals explains, the terms "antibacterial" and "antibiotic" are often used interchangeably. In the most technical sense, antibiotics are antimicrobial agents derived from bacteria or molds rather than other microorganisms. Antibiotics are designed to treat an active infecti...
These findings confirm significant increase in the incidence of antimicrobial resistance in the E. coli isolates and the abusive use of antibiotics can be the cause of the high percentages of resistance detected in East Azerbaijan province. Also these findings indicate that antibiotic resistance in ...

The emergence of CROs often limits the choice of antibiotics in the clinic, and the empirical antibiotic therapy does not cover the antimicrobial spectrum of the strain, thus affecting patient prognosis [4]. The China Antibiotic Resistance Surveillance System showed that the resistance rate of gram-...
As a medical community we must be more judicious in the use of this antibiotic as well as other extended-spectrum antimicrobial agents. This study reinforces the serious nature of the problem of reemerging pathogens with multiple drug resistance and suggests that future resources and efforts must ...
hyodysenteriae were cultured from clinical samples submitted to SAC Veterinary Services, Edinburgh between the years 2004-13. Samples were from pigs with a history of diarrhoea, mostly from herds in the UK. Pharmacokinetics: The concentration of an antibiotic achieved in the colon contents has been ...
