What is the target of the Carbapenems antibiotic? What are bacteriophages? What are some of the side effects of antimicrobial agents? Name an antibiotic often given for a fungal infection. How does this antibiotic work? Please elaborate on the five mechanisms of resistance. ...
Antibiotic resistance remains a major public health concern, particularly for the so called ESKAPE pathogens: Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter spp., because they are pathogenic and commonly multidrug resistant micro...
The widespread implementation of Antibiotics has saved millions of lives and yet within 80 years of the introduction of penicillin, antimicrobial resistance has been associated with nearly 5 million deaths.1It is postulated that AMR may overtake cancer as a leading cause of mortality by 20502. It ...
AntimicrobialresistanceEasternAfricaMinimumreportingguidelinesThe emergence and persistence of antimicrobial resistance is driven by varied factors including the indiscriminate use of antibiotics and variable drug efficacy and presents a major threat to the control of infectious diseases. Despite the high burden...
In microbiology there are opportunities for bismuth regimens in the future. Apart from activity against H. pylori infection there is also evidence for antibacterial activity of bismuth compounds against Salmonella, Treponema, Neisseria and more recently Clostridium difficile 5,10 ....
The bacteria causes an infection called shigellosis, which the CDC says infects about 450,000 people a year in the United States. Anestimated 242,000infections involve antimicrobial-resistant strains. Shigella bacteria that have developed resistance to all of the standard frontline antibiotics — known...
many doctors are sending urine samples to identify the infecting organisms and determine their antimicrobial resistance. It is not unusual for a doctor to call a patient and switch antibiotics because of antibiotic resistance. In addition, the doctor will usually recommend that the patient take in ...
An antiseptic (from Greek ἀντί anti, "against" and σηπτικός sēptikos, "putrefactive") is an antimicrobial substance or compound that is applied to living tissue/skin to reduce the possibility of infection, sepsis, or putrefaction. Antiseptics are generally distinguished from...
