These bacteria are naturally resistant to a wide variation of antimicrobial agents. Macrolides, represented by clarithromycin (CLR) and amikacin (AMK), show relatively good correlation with treatment success. However, the efficacies of potential drugs for the treatment of macrolide-resistant MAC and ...
As terrifying headlines warn, UTIs are becoming more difficult to treat as the bacteria that cause them "learn" to survive almost all of the oral antibiotics we currently have. Antibiotic resistance in general has been a problem for as long as antibiotics have existed and is considered an ...
How are antibiotic-resistant bacteria developed? How do bacteria become resistant to antibiotics? Why are some bacteria intrinsically resistant to some antibiotics? How does penicillin work to kill bacteria? What types of cellular processes do antibiotics affect? How has the misapplication of antibiotics...
Antibiotic resistance: how has it become a global threat to public health? Then there is the danger that the ignorant man may easily underdose himself and by exposing his microbes to non-lethal quantities of the drug, make them resistant," said Alexander Fleming, speaking in his Nobel Prize ...
Antibiotic-induced dysbiosis expands and sustains AMR by selecting antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which enriches the presence of resistance genes in the gut microbiome and promotes their dissemination.9 The protection provided by the gut microbiome against colonization is diminished, predisposing the ho...
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 ...
How serious is antibiotic resistance? Bacteria, not humans or animals, become antibiotic-resistant. These bacteria may infect humans and animals, and the infections they cause are harder to treat than those caused by non-resistant bacteria. Antibiotic resistanceleads to higher medical costs, prolonged...
a catheter infection or a urinary tract infection. Preventative antibiotics are discouraged—since an infection can be caused by so many different organisms, it can’t be predicted which antibiotic is needed. Additionally, preventative antibiotics are thought to promote antibiotic-resistant bacteria. ...
Background: Antibiotic-resistant bacteria represent an increasing concern in wound infections. Wound colonization with these organisms normally results in ... LRE Burrell - 《American Journal of Infection Control》 被引量: 457发表: 1998年 How to treat Helicobacter pylori infection--should treatment str...
don't do anything for viral infections like the flu. Using antibiotics too much or when they're not needed can make bacteria resistant to them, making infections more challenging to treat. So, it's important to use antibiotics only when necessary and follow your doctor's instructions carefully...
