Drug resistance

Introduction Antimicrobial drug resistance (AMDR) is a clinical phenomena, it means that the ability of specific microorganism to acquire resistance property against certain antibiotic which it was susceptible before (Meyers, 1987; Russell, 1997). AMDR process is the natural consequence of pathogen adaptation to antimicrobials used in medicine, animal food, agriculture and household activities (Gould & Meer 2005, p. 617). Antibiotic medication history is successful in human health. Antibiotic

For years now drug resistance is increasing and not just in one or two strands of bacteria, it is in all of them. This resistance makes treating a patient with the infection more difficult to the point where some strands require surgery. Tuberculosis is not a bacterium that you can easily remove from the body though. It takes time and medication for the tuberculosis to be eradicated from the body. The problem is with the advancements of medicine bacterium, like tuberculosis, are starting to produce

using antibiotics for bacterial infections only. First of all, over dosages of antibiotics cause major issues. In Source A it states “Spread or emergence of multidrug resistance, including resistance to ACT’s in other regions could jeopardize important recent gains in control of the disease.”. Viruses are now resistant towards drugs and antibiotics, which means these viruses will only become stronger, and harder to eliminate. This statement also proves that this issue is not only happening in America

mortality rate for infections caused by this bacterium was reduced, but these bacteria were resistant to many existing antibiotics and caused many infections by improving their resistance mechanisms (18-21). The transfer of drug resistance genes by using horizontal gene transfer can speed up the process of displacement of drug resistant genes in the bacteria that is being sought and cause many therapeutic problems (22, 23). Integrons are one of

attained, these individuals were removed from the community and encouraged to move from the city. Who would have known one incident would open up a flood of opportunities? One by one the doors were opening. I was approached about teaching the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program in the Jefferson County Public School (JCPS) district. I recognized, right away, this is what I was meant to do. When the previously mentioned school contacted me, it made me feel good to know the adults of the school

Topic o Antimicrobial Resistance Towards Antimicrobial Drugs • General Purpose o The general purpose of this speech is to inform people about antimicrobial resistance towards antimicrobial drugs that has been emerging since the 1940s. • Specific Purpose o The specific purpose of this speech is to inform people about the emergence and evolution of antimicrobial resistance towards antimicrobial drugs and how microorganisms have continued to build resistance to antimicrobial drugs since the 1940s. • Thesis

History of Antibiotic Resistance In the past tense 60 years, antibiotic drugs have been critical to the fight against infectious disease caused by bacteria and other microbe. Antimicrobial chemotherapy has been a lead cause for the dramatic rise of norm life expectancy in the Twentieth Century. 1 However, disease-causing bug that have become resistant to antibiotic drug therapy are an increasing public health trouble . Wound contagion , gonorrhea, tuberculosis, pneumonia, septicemia and childhood

Officer Owen has taught us very many important things through the D.A.R.E. program. D.A.R.E. stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education. This program is for students in 3rd, 4th, 6th, and other grades. During DARE lessons, a police officer comes to our school and presents to us in our classroom while we take notes in DARE workbooks. DARE usually happens once a week at our school. One topic we learn about in DARE is the problems: things like alcohol and cigarettes. Alcohol is a problem

The war on drugs was declared in 1971 by President Richard Nixon and since that day over a trillion dollars have been spent on the prohibition of drugs in the United States (Branson, 2012). Yet, despite this excessive spending, the U.S. has the highest rates of illicit drug use in the world (Branson, 2012). Although much of this money has been spent on law enforcement agents and prison systems, some funds have been used to develop drug prevention programs. The Drug Abuse Resistance Education Program

Drug Resistance Rising Among Mycobacterium tuberculosis Cases Abstract Drug resistance has been increasing among patients infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Previous miracle drugs that were used in the 1950s have now been proven useless in many cases simply because the bacteria are not susceptible to antibiotics such as isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, etc. when they are taken. This pathogen is easily transmitted through air and has the capability of attacking the respiratory system
