Section A In article A, The Promise of Poop, Jop De Vrieze talks about how fecal transplants are beneficial and can actually help treat diseases. Vrieze introduces Dr. Max Niewdorp, a doctor whose 81-year-old patient happened to develop a bacterium called Clostridium difficile. Because of this, Nieuwdorp then decided to do a fecal transplant on the woman. In order to do this procedure, the doctor must have access to a donor’s feces. Once he has it, then the feces gets blended and squirt into the

After the war, Fleming went back to his research lab, mostly working alone. Before he left on a vacation Fleming left a few dozen petri dishes on his lab bench, out of the sun. Upon returning he recorded what he saw from each dish and would place the dish, one by one, in a sink of disinfectant. As he was going about his business his research assistant
TREATMENT OF CONGO VIRUS IN HUMANS INTRODUCTION: Congo virus is a lethal disease with fatality rate of (10-40) %. Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic fever is caused by a tick-borne virus (Nairovirus) of the Bunyaviridae family. Animals get infected by the bite of infected ticks. The virus is transmitted to people by bites of tick bugs or through contact with infected animals blood during or immediately after slaughter. Most of the infected people are involved in livestock industry like slaughter house
Serum enzymes and Organ histopathology (Raw and Cooked seeds) CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND STUDY The term “antibiotic” or “antibiotic growth promoter (AGP)” is used to describe any medicine that destroys or inhibits bacteria and is administered at a low, sub therapeutic dose for the purpose of performance enhancement (Modi et al., 2011). Feed additives, especially antibiotics, have been employed in livestock production, including poultry, for long as 50 years as therapeutic agents to treat
Penicillin spurred the medicinal revolution of antibiotics. The discovery of penicillin was a dramatic evolution of healthcare, which had a major impact on society. Prior to the introduction of penicillin, effective treatment for infections was nonexistent. Illnesses such as strep throat, urinary tract infections, and some types of pneumonia are cured with help from antibiotics. Sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhea are also treated with penicillin. Even minor wounds could
Wonder Drugs, Are We Running Out of Antibiotics?, and Are Antibiotics Killing Us? are all very similar. Each one discusses how antibiotics are becoming very popular and as a consequence, are being overused. The overuse of an antibiotic has some scientists petrified of what that could mean for subsequent years. Many are discussing antibiotic resistance and how bacteria are overruling the prescribed drug. The articles also discuss the multiple ways that antibiotics have been used since they were first
interpreted as the value at which the inhibition zone intersected the scale on the Etest strip. For testing of antimicrobial combinations, an antibiotic strip was placed onto an agar plate at room temperature and removed after 1 h. Afterwards, a second antibiotic strip was placed on top of the gradient of the first agent. To evaluate the effect of an antibiotic combination, the fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) index was calculated as follows: FIC index = (FIC of drug meropenem)+(FIC of drug
known widely as major shrimp pathogens. Antibiotics are extensively used in farms and aquaculture as food additives to promote animal growth and prevent diseases. Consequently, antibiotics are released in large amounts into natural ecosystems, where they can impact the structure and activity of environmental microbial populations (Martinez, 2009a; Martinez, 2009b). Undoubtedly, the occurrence and dissemination of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are recognized
