Antibiotics are widely used throughout the world for agricultural, industrial, and medical purposes. The primary concern for the use of microbes is its growing resistance to common antibiotics released within the environment. Antibiotic resistant genes (ARG) have been prevalent in aquatic environments such as the public drinking water treatment system, source water, and tap water and multiple researchers have conducted tests to observe the effectiveness of the water treatment plants in the removal of harmful contaminants. While a This review aims to discuss the antibiotic resistance crisis in order to find solutions to combat the main source of selection pressure that causes antibiotic resistance to occur. Mutations provide a source for bacteria to become resistant within the environment.
3. Introduction Microorganisms are microscopic organisms that can be found all around us. They cannot be seen with a naked eye, but can be viewed with the use of a microscope. Microorganisms occupy a wide range of environments. They can be harmful or beneficial.
Without using antibiotics, it would take longer for illnesses to heal, and your symptoms would feel worse. If a simple infection deteriorates, it can become life-threatening. You could only hope that your immune system is strong enough to ward off the disease on its own. However, you do not have to worry about bacterial diseases as long as antibiotics remain effective. Transition: There are many things you can start doing right now to make a change.
However, the amount of Staphylococcus aureus that is antibiotic resistance gradually increased, until the year of 1950, the number rose to 40% of the patients, and 80% of the patients until the year 1960. The mechanism that made the bacteria become resistant to the antibiotic is that, a mutation to an extremely small amount of Staphylococcus aureus. From this mutation the bacteria began to produce an enzyme called penicillinase, which it breaks the molecule within penicillin that makes the antibiotic to function. Consequently, this antibiotic become ineffective and the bacteria eventually survived. This kind of Staphylococcus aureus is called “MRSA”, referred to methicillin-resistant S. aureus.
The bacteria also plays a huge part in this process too, it’s not just the antibiotics. Bacteria is a microscopic prokaryotic organism(s), bacteria can adapt to most medicines and conditions rather quickly, but Penicillin was different, it was like fighting bacteria with bacteria. 2 million years ago bacteria were the only form of life on earth, now that we’re here they need a place to live, which is in our bodies and other various
The development of resistance to all kinds of antibiotics in the sensitive bacterial pathogens is a major challenge to infectious disease medicine. The astonishing effects of antibiotics and origin of the genes associated with resistance has been a long mystery. There is growing evidence that the genes that make up this environmental resistome have the potential to be transformed to pathogens and indeed there is some evidence that clinically relevant resistance genes have originated in environmental microbes. Understanding the extent of environmental resistome and its mobilization into pathogenic bacteria is essential for the management and discovery of antibiotics. INTRODUCTION Antibiotics are organic substances produced by microorganisms, capable of inhibiting the growth or destroying another microorganism at low concentrations [1].
Antibiotics are one of the most successful forms of chemotherapy in the history of medicine. It is not necessary to reiterate here how many lives they have saved and how significantly they have contributed to the control of infectious diseases that were the leading causes of human morbidity and mortality for most of human existence. The antibiotic treatment choices for bacterial infections are very limited, resulting in high morbidity and mortality rates. Currently, there are some useful alternatives to antibiotic such as passive immunization and phage therapy. Antibiotics efficacy are dramatically
Microorganisms are tiny organisms that have been present on life from the past few billions of years. These tiny organisms are vital for the existence of human mankind and exist everywhere, in and out of the human body. Microbes include bacteria, fungi, protists, viruses and archae (1). Microbes however have indispensible advantages and benefits in many different areas. One example includes the industry of food production, where microbes hold a immense responsibility both on small scale, inside homes and on big scale too.
They are also important decomposers. One example, of a microbial life is the prokaryotes called bacteria. Bacteria that causes disease are called pathogens. The disease is caused by a poison called exotoxin and endotoxin produced by the bacteria. Another microbial life are protist.
How important are prebiotics in food Most people get enough probiotics, or at least know that you ought to do, but what they do not know is that they are essential to their body and prebiotics in food, which is consumed daily. It is an indigestible dietary fibers that trigger the growth of bacteria and positive effect on the entire intestinal flora. Not to be confused with probiotics - good bacteria, without which our bodies could not function normally. Simply put - prebiotics are food for bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, which trigger metabolic processes in the body and successfully suppress pathogenic microorganisms. What is inulin and why we need it?
