The definition and usage of the term antimicrobial resistance revolves around the concept that microorganisms change in ways that render antimicrobial medications clinically ineffective. Because artemisinins have become the cornerstone for antimalarial therapy, the widely used term artemisinin resistance in ...
PURPOSE:To obtain microorganisms provided with tolerant to suitable organic solvents by bringing into contact with an organic solvent microorganisms viable in such specific organic solvent but inviable other specific organic solvent smaller in partition coefficient than the former. CONSTITUTION:An agar-agar...
After microorganisms have broken down the cellulose, we're left with two things: the microbe's waste and the more resistant plant material that microorganisms can't break down easily. These materials ultimately get transformed into a new material called humus. ...
Microorganisms grown in closed culture (also known as a batch culture), in which no nutrients are added and most waste is not removed, follow a reproducible growth pattern referred to as the growth curve. An example of a batch culture in nature is a pond in which a small number of cells...
Deadly outbreaks have plagued societies for centuries. But they can lead to medical breakthroughs—if we learn the right lessons from them.
chronic disease or antibiotics disturb this delicate balance, the body can become vulnerable to problems like bacteria and fungal overgrowth or infectious diarrhea. But infusing a new batch of microorganisms into theintestineseems...
If you have a pet, you’ll want to keep a section of your lawn where they can play (and relieve themselves). Choosing agrass typethat’s more resistant to pet urine for this area will ensure it stays green. Decide on sunlight requirements ...
This is because it is often the most concentrated ingredient. Water used in skincare products is free from toxins, pollutants, and microorganisms. It can be deionized or demineralized, distilled, or purified. Water is a versatile and necessary solvent for cosmetics and personal care products. Wate...
How fast do bacteria become resistant to antibiotics? How does pasteurization kill disease-causing microorganisms? How is Yersinia pestis transmitted? How did the SARS epidemic start? How can impetigo cause other diseases? How do viruses infect the human body?
Listerine, an antimicrobial mouth rinse, completely killed microorganisms in 10 to 30 seconds; the microbes includes methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Helicobacter pylori, Candida albicans, Streptococcus mutans, Actinomyces viscosus, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia,...
