Mezlocillin Penicillin Lab Report

1226 Words5 Pages

Research question: In this experiment we will use 6 different antibiotics which are Mezlocillin,Cefazolin,Lincomycin,Penicillin,Erythromycin,and Oxacillin on these two bacteria that is Bacillus subtilis and Micrococcus luteus and see the result which antibiotic will work better on which bacteria. We will put the bacteria on agar-agar plate with the antibiotic and leave plate for a week to get the result how effectively the antibiotic have work on the bacteria. Background on antibiotic: Bacillus subtilis:It can be easily found as it in soil,human and the gastrointestinal. It can withstand extreme environmental condition( e.g heat, cold etc). It can be tough and have a shaped of a rod like structure. It is one of the top in secret enzyme production. …show more content…

It is also a gram positive. It is used to contaminant the sick patients as it resistant by slowing a major processes of metabolic and induction of unique genes. Mezlocillin: Mezlocillin is a broad- spectrum penicillin antibiotic. This penicillin have higher chance against gram negative and some on gram positive bacteria.But it is excreted by liver, that why it is useful for treating biliary tract infections, such as ascending cholangitis. Cefazolin:An antibiotic which will work on many bacteria infection.It normally administered either by intravenous infusion ( intravenous fluid into vein) or intramuscular injection (injection into a large muscle).As many of the antibiotics it also have side effect which are vomiting,diarrhea,nausea, and rash. Lincomycin: Lincomycin use for the people who can't take penicillin antibiotic. But it only used when there is severe infection because of it toxicity and harmful side effect it is rarely …show more content…

Oxacillin: This antibiotic act to the cell of the bacteria, it block the growth of the cell wall which result in kill the bacteria. Usually it administered by injection. Hypothesis: For mezlocillin I guess it will not work as well as other antibiotics because it has higher chance at gram negative compared to gram positive, which are Micrococcus luteus and Bacillus subtilis. Also penicillin has been used for many year because of it continuously use many bacteria has got resistance to it and I think it will not work as good as other antibiotic which are mentioned here . Other than these two I guess one of the antibiotic will work quite fine as they have quite unique and powerful way to stop or kill the bacteria, so one way or another one antibiotic will sure to get a good result. Independent variable: Dependent variable: In this experiment we will measure the zone of the inhabited, how much the antibiotic have work on the bacteria?We will measure the area that antibiotic have taken from the bacteria. To measure the area as accurate as possible we will use digital

    PHAR 100 Assignment 3 1. Antibiotics are a form of medicine that seek out and destroy the bacteria that make us feel sick. Antibiotics work great against bacteria, however they don’t work against viruses. Penicillin was the first antibiotic to be discovered by Alexander Fleming, and it was first used to treat infections. Essentially, these powerful medicines fight bacterial infections, and have the potential to save lives.

    “... There is not enough Penicillium mold of the right kind to give us large quantities of penicillin” (“Penicillin”). Because of this, it took scientists a long time to get enough of the mold to conduct experimental trials and then an even more prolonged time to release to the public. The drug also does not remain in the blood stream for very long, meaning people would need more than one dose to cure them of an infection. This means that scientists had to produce a large quantity of the drug for it to be effective in a large, semi long-term setting. This problem also directly relates to the problem of not having enough of the mold.

    Specific Aims/Hypothesis(es) to be tested Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is the most common cause of vaginal symptoms among women of reproductive age, ages 15-44 years. The number of lactobacilli in the vagina of women with BV is significantly lower than that in healthy women. While some women may be asymptomatic, most experience thin, white or yellow abnormal vaginal discharge and malodor, especially after intercourse. Women with BV have an increased risk of many gynecological complications. Bacterial infections have been linked to increased risk factors for many sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.

    aureus microbe problematic is because it is the leading cause of nosocomial or hospital-acquired infections by gram-positive bacteria and is notoriously resistant to penicillin and many other commonly used antibiotics. It was actually recently reported that a strain of S. aureus is resistant to every known antibiotic in clinical usage. The emergence of antibiotic resistance strains of S. aureus, such as methicillin resistant staph aureus (MRSA), is becoming a greater problem. Since S. aureus has become resistant to most of the beta-lactam antibiotics, vancomycin, a glycopeptide antibiotic, is used to fight MRSA. However, there are now strains of S. aureus that are resistant to vancomycin, such as vancomycin intermediate staph aureus (VISA) and vancomycin resistant staph aureus (VRSA).

Each student was given a petri dish with an unknown Gram positive bacterium inside. The petri dish with the unknown gram positive bacteria that was used in my experiment was #8. The possible bacteria inside my petri dish could be any of the following: Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Mycobacterium species, Corynebacterium species, Lactobacillus, Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae Hypothesis

Mankind in general very quickly gets used to the amazing achievements of the science, and sometimes need to make some effort to imagine life as it was, for example, before the invention of TV, radio or engine. As quickly came into our lives a huge family of a variety of antibiotics, the first of which was penicillin. Today, it seems surprising that in the 30-ies of XX century, each year tens of thousands of people have died of dysentery that pneumonia in many cases ended in deaths that sepsis was a real scourge

    INTRODUCTION Gentamicin, which is a broad spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic (Fig. 1), belongs to the class of medicinal compounds capable of inhibiting the growth of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria [1]. Gentamicin is one of the most effective drugs used in the treatment of serious suppurative and septic processes, especially those that are caused by Gram-negative microorganisms. The advantages of gentamicin over other aminoglycosides (kanamycin, neomycin) are its activity towards Pseudomonas aeruginosa and microorganisms of the Serratia–Klebsiella–Enterobacter group, a faster bactericidal effect, and the rare development of gentamicin resistant strains. Several methods used for determination of GT including colorimetric [2,3], amperometric enzyme-immunosensors [4], flow injection chemiluminescence [5], spectrofluorometry [6,7], capillary electrophoresis with UV detection [8], liquid chromatography (LC) [9–14] and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) [15–23]. Kinetic methods have many advantages over other spectrophotometric methods due to their high selectivity and elimination of

Antibiotics are effective against infectious microorganisms and some of them are operative against many types of diseases. Antibiotics can kill the pathogens within the body and they only kill the bacteria, not harm any body cells. Another advantage of antibiotics is that they aren’t very costly and are usually affordable. Certain antibiotics are also developed to kill certain human cells and are used to cure cancer.
