What is antibiotic resistance and where does it come from and why is it an issue? Why do some agricultural practices contribute to antibiotic resistance in some bacteria species, and how can this contribute to antibiotic resistance in bacteria that cause diseases in humans? What is antibiotic resi...
How does horizontal gene transmission play a role in the increasing emergence of multi-drug resistant pathogens? What are the differences between transformation, conjugation, and transduction in horizontal gene transfer? Describe how antibiotic resistance can spread by natural selection ...
Introduction: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isa prototype of bacteria intrinsically resistant to antibiotics. The reduced susceptibility of this microorganism to antimicrobials mainly relies on the presence in its chromosome of genes encoding efflux pumps and antibiotic inactivating enzymes. How do you treat MRS...
so things like guidelines, an adverse event later — resistance — happen after the visit and often we don’t find out about it. We very much remember the rare patient who gets really angry with us when we didn’t prescribe them antibiotic, and that is an uncomfortable situation for us....
Why does the Tropical Rain Forest contain an abundance of antibiotic compounds? A. The area is crowded, leading to random production of useful compounds. B. The area is wet, plants had to develop resistance to fungi and bacterial infections. C. There is a Describe...
Why does this happen? The studies in my thesis give several reasons. For one, its a systemic flaw, such as standard orders for samples to be taken when some are not medically justified. Then there's the doctor-patient relationship. My interview studies show that doctors often have a strong...
If bacteria is the cause of either condition, an antibiotic can clear it up. Testicular torsion.This happens when a testicle gets twisted inside your scrotum. It may feel like you got kicked in the crotch. It’s a medical emergency. The twisting (torsion) cuts off the blood supply to you...
they could never achieve on their own. However as incomes rise, so too do the often unintended negative spillover effects, with examples including obesity, diabetes, climate change, antibiotic resistance and biodiversity loss. Rising inequality and the erosion of social cohesion are also growing ...
For instance, the Beijing Insitute of Technology has created a reusable device that can detect levels of antibiotic in milk that is expected to be available in stores as early as next year. Some designers are already utilizing biology for their own purposes. Suzanne Lee of Biocouture is a ...
I was worried that I had finally found my match and would have to resort to calling the doctor with my tail between my legs and demand an antibiotic. I as a nurse, had been lead to believe over the past 35 years to expect instant magic. Only one problem, I didn’t have a doctor ...
