Antibiotics are types of medicines which destroy or slow down the growth of bacteria. Bacteria are microscopic organisms which can cause abhorrent illnesses such as syphilis‚ tuberculosis‚ salmonella‚ and some forms of meningitis. Before bacteria can multiply and cause symptoms‚ our body’s immune system has special white blood cells which can usually destroy them. Also for the majority of people with these bacterial infections even when symptoms do start to occur‚ these white blood cells are usually

tics Antibiotics Several scientists around the beginning of the 20th Century discovered substances that were toxic to bacteria yet not to the human cell. But it wasn’t until Sir Alexander Flemings own discovery in 1928 that everyone took notice. While washing his equipment‚ Sir Fleming noticed a bit of mold attacking a patch of bacteria. It’s frightening to consider how many more people would have died in the 20th Century if Sir Fleming did not have good eyes. Today‚ some complain that

Control by Antibiotics and Antiseptics Lab Report Georgia State University Introduction The fact that each bacterial species‚ and even some of their respective strains‚ responds uniquely to a given antimicrobial makes it necessary to have methods‚ which provide researchers and clinicians with measurable susceptibilities. This need has become prevalent since the rising of later generations of antimicrobial compounds achieved by chemical modifications of the naturally occurring antibiotics. By utilizing

A Brief History of Antibiotics‚ Antibiotic Resistance‚ and Antibiotic Alternatives Antibiotic Resistance and Alternatives Antibiotics have been commonly‚ though mistakenly‚ thought of as the ultimate cure‚ for almost all illness‚ for over half a century now. However‚ the intended use of antibiotics is for the treatment of bacterial infections and diseases. Viruses or fungi-related illnesses will not be affected by antibiotics. This misunderstanding of the use of antibiotics has led to overuse
