The Invention Of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria

importantly, antibiotic misuse needs to be avoided because it can lead to antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance is a bacterium’s ability to overcome the effects of antibiotics and to survive in the presence of them (“About” par. 1). This is what causes antibiotics to be ineffective towards some bacterial infections. When a bacteria is exposed to the same antibiotic regularly, that bacteria mutates to become antibiotic resistant. Bacteria have many mechanisms of resistance. For instance, bacteria can

the number of prescriptions for antibiotics has increases. Even though, antibiotics are helpful, an excess amount of antibiotics can be dangerous. Quite often antibiotics are wrongly prescribed to cure viruses when they are meant to target bacteria. Antibiotics are a type of medicine that is prone to kill microorganisms, or bacteria. By examining the PBS documentary Hunting the Nightmare Bacteria and the article “U.S. government taps GlaxoSmithKline for New Antibiotics” by Ben Hirschler as well as a

they were fatal. Antibiotics are antimicrobial drugs used in the treatment of bacterial infections. They kill microorganisms responsible for infection by means of targeting structures or inhibiting processes that bacterial cells have, but human cells do not. But recently, selection by antibiotics for resistant adaptations, made possible by bacteria’s rapid rate of reproduction, has become a severe threat. Each course of amoxicillin, ciprofloxacin, or tetracycline kills all the bacteria except for those

environment and its impending threats in order to survive. Bacteria is now doing this in response to antibiotics, which are purposed to kill bacteria so as to eliminate infections and diseases. However, now more and more bacteria are evolving to form antibiotic-resistant strains that there are no or very expensive antibiotics or treatments for yet, even if they were once easily treated diseases. Often this is a result of overuse or improper use of antibiotics by both medical professionals and patients. Overuse

many changes throughout its time. From the dinosaurs, to people habiting earth, the population growing rapidly, and the invention of medicine, the earth has gone through a lot. Civilization has always found ways to survive, natural disasters, plagues, wars, and attacks. Somehow the human race has always come out on top. A great, eye opening discovery for the world has been antibiotics. With these new found drugs the population has been able to survive sicknesses and live decades longer, than the ones

Discussion After observing the results that were conducted on the unknown #222. It was determined to be Micrococcus luteus. Most of the tests observed on M. luteus had a match with the expected result, except for two tests. Those tests were the determination of glucose fermentation, and the oxidase test. For the ability to ferment glucose, M. luteus does not have the ability to ferment glucose Two tests were performed. The first glucose media test had a mismatch observed versus expected result

Abstract Antibiotics (antibacterials) known as drug that used to cure and prevent despises that affected by bacteria and help the immune system to be more active against it. The process of taking antibiotics divided into three ways that is Interdiction Many drugs develop in 20th century due to advance modern technology and the diseases are becoming easily curable. By creating antibiotics, the doctors avoided using Surgery to know what the problem inside the body is. During in ancient

industry was 100% natural and free of man-made inventions. But, as population grew, so did the efforts to try and produce more food for a cheaper price. Caring for livestock during the 1900’s was not an easy task because, as everyone might know by now, animals are fragile and susceptible to many diseases which led to costly deaths that companies were not fond of. It wasn’t until the 1950’s that a group of scientists from the US, discovered that adding antibiotics in animal feed increased the growth rate

Tuberculosis has been known since ancient times, under a variety of names in different historical periods. It has been confused with certain other disease, but its basic nature, namely, its wasting effect and its destructive character, has always been recognized. Until very recently it was known as the number-one killer of the human race. Men and women at all stages of life, but primarily between the ages of fifteen and thirty-five were subject to the disease. The infectious nature of Tuberculosis

example, the large-scale use of antibiotics in livestock feeding, has become a staple of the American agriculture industry. Of all the agricultural advancements the industry has made since the days of the horse and plow, none has been as threatening to human health as the use of sub therapeutic levels of antibiotics (Schneider). Antibiotics are useful for sick animals, just as they are useful for sick humans. In the
