bacteria is then "infected" with the plasmid, and some of them take up the plasmid and incorporate the new gene into their DNA. To separate the infected from the uninfected, the plasmid also contains a gene giving the bacteria immunity to a certain antibiotic. By treating the sample with ...
When you don't use antibiotics as prescribed -- not taking the complete run of your medication or taking antibiotics when you don't need them -- you contribute to the problem ofantibiotic-resistantbacteria. What this means is that the antibiotic designed to kill a specific type of bacteria i...
Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem as more and more strains of bacteria become resistant to various antibiotics. This led to some doctors calling for a significant decrease in the use of antibiotics to slow the increasing resistance.
How have antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria evolved? How long does a viral infection last in babies? What type of microorganism is yeast? How are viruses involved in bacterial transduction? What is bacterial inoculation? How long does the Norwalk virus last on surfaces?
Scientists have uncovered a key factor to explain why antibiotic-resistant bacteria can thrive in a hospital setting.
The resistance usually occurs when micro-organisms or disease causing bugs (such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites) change in ways that render the medications used to cure the infections they cause ineffective. This is a major concern to health experts because a resistant in...
Stay safe in the hospital.Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are commonly found in hospitals. Make sure your caregivers wash their hands properly. Also, ask how to keep surgical wounds free of infection.
