A well-known problem is the increasing bacterial resistance to antibiotics, which has clearly become a worldwide challenge to the effective control of infections by many pathogens. But, beyond affecting the pathogenic agents for which it is intended, antibiotic treatment also affects the mutualistic ...
The beneficial impact that the control of bacterial pathogens has had on our standard of living is difficult to overstate. However, our control over microbial disease is diminishing. Human pathogens have repeatedly acquired the genetic capacity to survive antibiotic treatment owing to heavy selective pr...
Respiratory pathogens, commonly colonizing nasopharynx, are among the leading causes of death due to antimicrobial resistance. Yet, antibiotic resistance determinants within nasopharyngeal microbial communities remain poorly understood. In this prospecti
Antibiotic resistance: The ability of bacteria to resist the actions of antibiotic drugs. Soil bacteria: Bacteria found in the soil that destroy other bacteria. Development of penicillin as an antibiotic. In 1928, British bacteriologist Alexander Fleming (1881–1955) discovered the bacteria-killing...
Role of intravenous cloxacillin for inpatient infections One of the issues of antibiotic treatment is to warrant its optimal effectiveness while minimizing the risk for emergence of resistance. The time above min... J.P. Bru a,R. Garraffo b - 《Médecine Et Maladies Infectieuses》 被引量: ...
Water chlorination was associated with increased abundance of several bacterial genera previously linked to improved gut health; however, we observed no effects on the overall richness or diversity of taxa. Several clinically relevant antibiotic resistance genes were relatively more abundant in the gut ...
Antibiotic growth promoters have been criticized because, although they do not reduce the total bacterial biomass, they shift the composition of the microbiota and promote dangerous levels of antibiotic resistance25. In piglets that are given amoxicillin 1 day after birth, the microbiota remains ...
This review summarises the latest findings in the field with respect to the prevalence of microplastics in the human–environment, to what extent they might enter and persist in the body, and what effect, if any, they are likely to have on human health. Whilst definitive evidence linking ...
What is the best antibiotic to treat strep throat? Penicillin or amoxicillin are considered the best first-line treatments for Strep throat. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) “ There has never been a report of a clinical isolate of group A strep that is resist...
half of all antibiotic use isn’t necessary. Overuse has led to antibacterial resistance. Bacteria adapt over time and become “super bacteria” or “superbugs.” They change so that antibiotics no longer work on them. They pose a big threat because there aren’t any medicines to kill them....
