Report On Unacceptable Residues Of Antibiotics

Present the “Doctor’s Notes” portion of the case with a description or definition of the following terms or concepts:

Imagine getting sick with a bug that should be easily treated, but your doctor has not been able to prescribe anything to provide relief. Instances like this have become more common in the past two decades do to the emergence of drug resistant infections. This is not only a problem that the United States faces but it’s a worldwide crisis. In this paper I will address how overuse of antibiotics has caused an influx of drug resistant infections specifically C-Diff and how this impacts human health worldwide and the efforts to fight against it. Literature searches using the databases CINAHL Complete and PubMed were used to gather data on the overuse of antibiotics contributing to C-Diff. A total of 98 articles were generated using specific

Until the 1970s, many new antibiotics found that at first is still sensitive. The last new class of antibiotics discovered in the 1980s (Figure 2.1). After the 1980s increasingly difficult to find new antibiotics, to maintain the efficacy of existing antibiotics were necessary measures to minimize the increase and spread of resistance to antibiotics, while efforts to find and develop new methods of treatment of the infection is still continued.1,15

The experts believe that the main route for this pathogen enter to Australia is via transboundary movement, which is by exporting ornamental fish from outbreak countries, including China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand into Australia. Therefore, to minimize the impact,

For many years globalization as made it possible for food, people, and manufactured goods to be transported from one nation to the other, though this has been an interesting phenomenon that opened the financial doors for citizens globally, still there is a cause for concerns as it relates to the negative impact this movement as on public health. I wouldn’t say that steps should be taken to reduce the flow of these goods or food items but rather put proper measures in place to ensure that all items especially foods are up to standards when crossing borders. This responsibility will rest highly on customs at each nation’s border. Especially since whenever their citizens become sick it will have a negative effect on their nation and no one wants to have a disease outbreak in their country.

The discovery of antibiotics is attributed to Alexander Fleming who discovered the first antibiotic to be commercially used (Penicillin) in approximately 1928. An antibiotic, also known as an antimicrobial, is a medication that is taken in order to either destroy or slow the growth rate of bacteria. Antibiotics are integral to the success of many medical practises, such as; surgical procedures, organ transplants, the treatment of cancer and the treatment of the critically ill. (Ramanan Laxminarayan, 2013)

Antibiotics are medicines used to treat diseases or infections caused by bacteria, such as: upper and lower respiratory tract infections. They are often called the “life savers” of medications, amongst individuals of today’s society. Antibiotics (penicillin) were first discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1929, but it was in the beginning of the 1940’s that the true potential was recognized. Being that our society feel that antibiotics are the “go to” medication for every illness, the medication has become overused and abused by medical professionals in healthcare facilities, as well as patients. Due to the overuse and abuse of antibiotics a lot of them are no

Antibiotics have been the answer to many bacterial infections for the past 70 years (Antibiotic/ Antimicrobial Resistance). Antibiotics are “medicines used to treat infections or diseases caused by bacteria” (“What are Antibiotics?”). Antibiotics were prescribed to cure many diseases. Doctors prescribed many antibiotics during World War II. World War II was the start of the antibiotic era. Just when antibiotics were being greatly produced, bacteria started to evolve and became resistant to these medicines. What is antibiotic resistance? According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “Antibiotic resistance occurs when an antibiotic has lost its ability to effectively control or kill bacterial growth” (“General Background”). Improper use of antibiotics causes antibiotic resistance and has many effects associated with it. People may be drug abusers and this can cause resistance in the body. Some people will only take antibiotics because they believe it is the only way they will get better. When a person uses drugs to get rid of a sickness they may start to overcompensate, but when they do, the drug may have less of an effect because the body has become so used to the drugs medicine. That is because the bacteria has found a way to avoid the effects of the antibiotic.

The growing issue of bacterial resistance to antibiotics is growing more rapidly than anticipated. Numerous factors contribute to this growing issue and it creates a major concern for society today. The main factor in this growing issue is the continuous misuse and overuse of antibiotics. For example, people use them by prescribing antibiotics to themselves, even if they have acquired a viral infection. Furthermore, livestock is pumped full of antibiotics to promote growth and prevent infections. Moreover, bacteria have become smarter and evolved so that they are able to transmit the resistance to other bacteria. This is an

There are several factors that have influenced the many decisions that we make in terms of the things that we eat. The government, scientists, corporations, and globalization all have affected the price, content, as well as the choice of foods that we can buy at supermarkets. A lot of people don’t know that each one of those factors has aided in the creation of each effect. First, we will explore how globalization has directly impacted the price of the foods that we eat. Second, we will discuss the ways in which scientists and corporations have both played a role in the things that are put into our foods. Lastly, we will touch base on the ways in which the government has played a role in all of the effects but specifically how they have controlled the choice of foods that we buy. All of these factors are connected through certain laws and legislation but they all differ in their impacts on what we eat and the prices of those foods.

“As of 2008, fish and shellfish were more likely to cause foodborne-illness than any other category of food product says Colorado farm to market.” There’s a vast world of food borne illness when it comes to seafood being both causes of and types of illness. That being, I find it important to further research the proper purchasing and practices for safe seafood. Throughout this paper I’ll discuss the best purchasing and handling for seafood to minimize risks.

The importers of foods are required to verify that their foreign suppliers are complying with Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls (HARPC). The intended goal of this program is to ensure the imported foods are being produced according to the U.S. standard with the objective of protecting U.S. customers from food safety risks. However, the FSVP adds additional cost to the product as well has some barriers which may not effective for achieving the expected goal.

Agriculture is one of the vital sectors in terms of economic development and a number of countries tend to rely on their agriculture business for national economies; thereby, it is also one of the most sensitive sectors in the world. Under this circumstance, the European Union (EU) is the biggest food supplier. Since the establishment of European trade bloc in the 1950s, the EU has been playing a significant role in international trade. Particularly, this on-going widened and deepened union has contributed to both internal and external development through trade liberalisation in international arena. Nevertheless, it has not fully opened the markets and severely protected the agricultural sector with the common agricultural

Every citizen of Bangladesh and the world at large has the right to purchase of safe food at reasonable prices; however, the safety aspect is often endangered. Use of chemicals in food is rampant around Bangladesh with the proportion of adulterated food items in the market varying between 70 and 90 percent. Despite negative health impacts, countrywide drives against fake and adulterated food through operation of mobile courts and sprouting of ‘formalin free’ markets, the problem persists.
