chronic diarrhea can be treated with the "BRAT diet", loperamide or increased fiber intake. Diarrhea from C. Diff infection typically caused by destruction of good gut bacteria from antibiotics should be treated with an oral antibiotic called vancomycin. Diarrhea from inflammatory bowel disease can b...
What drug has good activity against Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE)? Are there any bacteria resistant to all antibiotics? Which organisms have developed resistance to beta lactam antibiotics? Are biofilms resistant to antibiotics? What antibiotics drug treats tuberculosis? What STDs have become res...
"C. diff has a billion different ways to figure out how to become resistant to metronidazole," said Kevin Garey, professor of pharmacy practice and translational research and chair of the department. "We say bugs are smart, but really they're just good at playing poker." It's true, if ...
Vancomycin c. Both d. None Describe development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria with special notes on permeability barrier and active drug efflux. Clindamycin binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit of bacteria. Does clindamycin have selective toxicity for ...
The antibiotics were kanamycin (40 mg/kg), gentamicin (3.5 mg/kg), colistin (4.2 mg/kg), metronidazole (21.5 mg/kg), and vancomycin (4.5 mg/kg). One day after the antibiotic treatment, the mice were given 1 mg of clindamycin by oral gavage. About 24 h following clindamycin treatment,...
