United States is pediatric overuse of antibiotics. The audience to whom the responsibility of this problem falls includes pediatricians and family practice physicians who are in the position to prescribe and administer antibiotics to children. Antibiotics have been one of man’s greatest discoveries in the medical realm; saving thousands of lives that would have otherwise succumb to harmful‚ disease-causing bacteria.1 However‚ with the discovery of antibiotics has also come the misconception that they

Antibiotics research 1. Define the term antibiotics Antibiotics are a drug used to treat infections caused by bacteria and other microorganisms. Originally‚ an antibiotic was a substance produced by one microorganism that selectively inhibits the growth of another. Synthetic antibiotics‚ usually chemically related to natural antibiotics‚ have since been produced that accomplish comparable tasks 2. a) who was the first scientist to discover antibiotics Alexander Fleming (1928) b) Briefly

Antibiotics An antibiotic is defined as a substance that is produced by microorganisms that in miniscule amounts inhibits the growth of another microorganism (Tortora 2010). Antibiotics can be found naturally in the environment or they can be manufactured with chemicals. They are specifically designed to hinder the growth and development in other microbes. Yet‚ these antimicrobial drugs should not cause extreme harm to normal microorganisms (Tortora 2010). The vast majority of antibiotics

The reasons range from knowing the causative agent of a disease in a patient‚ so as to know how it can be treated‚ to knowing the correct microorganism to be used for making certain foods or antibiotics. This study was done by applying all of the methods that have been learned so far in the microbiology laboratory class for the identification of unknown bacteria. The identification process can be completed with a series of deferential stains and biochemical tests. Creating a dichotomous key helps
