Antibiotics are anti-microbial drugs that are used to stop the growth of bacteria. Antibiotics are not effective against any kind of viral infections, such as flu, cold-cough, etc. Antibiotics are classified into two types- broad-spectrum antibiotic and narrow-spectrum antibiotic. The first ...
started with baby steps, first seeking approval for phage products to fight bacterial contamination in food products. Now, however, the company is generating revenues, and it has three clinical trials underway to test phage cocktails against three antibiotic-resistant bacteria. But these are trials ...
Ifyour baby has impetigo, your doctor will give you antibiotic cream to treat the infection. If the infection is also around the mouth, your doctor might suggest that you use a bandage to stop the bacteria from spreading. Thrush can be treated with antifungal medicine that is painted on your...
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...
Antibiotic treatment is predicated on the assumption that microorganisms responsible for OME are the same ones which produce acute otitis media. This may not always be the case.

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 do bacteria become resistant to antibiotics? Describe antibiotic resistance (the problem worldwide) and at molecular level how the resistances were able to spread quickly (what made the rapid spread possible). You can address this question in two aspect...
False positives may result in the use of unnecessary last-resort treatments, whereas false negatives can result in persistent infections by allowing antibiotic-resistant bacteria to evade appropriate treatment. Additionally, a current limitation of these methods is the need for distinct models for each ...
