Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDR) have been divided into three categories depending on their resistance profile: 1. MDR—non-susceptible to at least 1 agent in 3 antimicrobial categories; 2. extensively drug-resistant (XDR)—non-susceptible to at least 1 agent in all but 2 or fewer antimicrob...
What is meant by drug resistance? Drug resistance: Drug resistance is the ability of an organism to withstand antimicrobial concentrations that were previously effective in inhibiting or eliminating them. Drug resistance often arises from genetic mutations that give certain individuals a survival advantage...
When asked what an MDRO (Multiple Drug Resistant Organism) is, many respond - MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus), or, VRE (Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci). Antibiotic stewardship: a call to action! An electronic surveillance system was available, but the facility did not record lab...
The maggot cares not about species membership, only that the object of ingestion is diseased and dead tissue, life-threatening to the living organism. Here is a tag that puts MAGA to shame: Give me a presidential candidate whose supporters rally around the MAGGOT credo: Make America’s ...
Antibiotic treatment of TB takes ⩾6 months, or longer if there is resistance to rifampicin and isoniazid (multidrug-resistant (MDR)-TB) [2]. In drug-susceptible TB, treatment beyond 2 months is needed to clear remaining drug-tolerant Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli [3]. Shortening this ...
the farmers who live and work with these pigs were less likely to have the strain of MRSA commonly associated with livestock than farmers who worked with pigs who were regularly administered antibiotics. As one of the most notorious multidrug-resistant superbugs, MRSA is responsible for an estimate...

It is also a multidrug-resistant pathogen. In general, it causes hospital-acquired infections such as ventilator-associated pneumonia and various sepsis syndromes. Normally, P. aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes serious infections during existing disease conditions. In addition, it ...
inflammatory properties of this plant, which is employed not only for its thymol and carvacrol content (higher than 65% in both fresh and dried plant), but also for its potential to treat coughs, bronchitis, pneumonia and laryngitis, among others, when multidrug-resistant strains are involved [...
