BIOS275 Week 6 Homework 12. What serious adverse effect has been linked to the drug Accutane? The serious adverse effect that has been linked to the drug Accutuane is depression and suicide. This drug is only used to treat severe acne and not common acne. 15. What is a herpes zoster infection and what drugs are used to treat it? Herpes zoster infection or shingles occur from the reemergence of the same virus that first caused chickenpox in the patient. The virus remains dormant in the body until

(Hitner et al.‚ 2016). Bacterial microorganisms become resistant by the inactivation of chloramphenicol through the enzyme acetyltransferases. (Rang et al.‚ 2016). Chloramphenicol resistance are very common in Staphylococcus spp. such as Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Staphylococcus epidermis (S. epidermis). The enzyme that inactivates chloramphenicol appears to be the product of a structural gene on the chloramphenicol plasmid due to the resistance and enzyme activity. (Shaw et al.‚ 1970)

E Coli-Escherichia coli is a Gram-negative gammaproteobacteria commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms Staphylococcus -Staphylococcus is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria. Under the microscope‚ they appear round‚ and form in grape-like clusters. The Staphylococcus genus includes at least 40 species.

The health care setting risks range from tragic events‚ slips‚ and fall injuries‚ infections‚ and wrongful deaths. Risk management determines what risks occur and puts strategies in place to minimize those risks. Quality management in risk management protects patient‚ staff‚ and the hospital

MLT1: ANTIBIOTIC SENSITIVE LAB Western Governor’s University When antimicrobials are used to treat an infection‚ the antimicrobial used is based on selective toxicity. Selective toxicity is when the agent selected kills or inhibits the bacteria without causing serious harm to the host. The agent must interact with a function or structure of the microbe that is not present or is very different from the host. There are two different types of antimicrobial agents: antibiotics and antimicrobial

Etiology Cellulitis occurs when one or more types of bacteria enter through a crack or break in your skin. The two most common types of bacteria that are causes of cellulitis are streptococcus and staphylococcus. The incidence of a more serious staphylococcus infection called methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is increasing. Although cellulitis can occur anywhere on your body‚ the most common location is the lower leg. Bacteria is most likely to enter disrupted areas of skin‚ such as where

“DISCUSS THE STRATEGIES THAT ARE USED BY BACTERIAL PATHOGENS TO EVADE HOST ANTIBACTERIAL PEPTIDES AND PHAGOCYTES” The mammalian immune system has two major components; the innate and the adaptive immune system. The innate system is usually the first line of defence and it acts as a strong roadblock to invading bacterial pathogens through direct mechanisms such as inflammation‚ phagocytosis‚ complement system activation‚ antibacterial peptides and indirectly by activating adaptive response through

The novel starts off with an example of the cost of our war with microbes‚ a college football player‚ Ricky Lanetti whose death was caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus (MRSA). MRSA is a bug that could shrug off not only the methicillin family of antibiotics‚ but also a half dozen others. Worse‚ this particular stain of MRSA-now known to specialist as USA300- also carried genes for an array of toxins‚ some of

However‚ the prognosis depends on the type of pneumonia‚ the appropriate treatment‚ any complications‚ and the person’s underlying health. [5] Microorganisms‚ irritants and unknown causes‚ can cause pneumonia. When pneumonias are grouped this way‚ infectious causes are the most common type. The symptoms of infectious pneumonia are caused by the infiltration of the lungs by microorganisms and by the immune system’s response to
