Why are people worried about it? ntibiotic resistance is the effect of antibiotics on germs that infect our body. Most of the antibiotics have lost their A resistance to fight germs. People are worried about it because if antibiotics won’t work no longer than we could even die from a paper cut. 2. How can antibioticresistant germs travel from people out into the environment

Abstract The spread of antibiotic resistance is a universal threat to both humans and animals for treatment of microbial infections. The antibiotic resistance is generally not preventable but can still be controlled. Prolonged and repeated use of antibiotic leads to many pathogen becoming resistant to antibiotics. The resistance may be either intrinsic or acquired depending on the condition. Although classically attributed to chromosomal mutations‚ resistance is most commonly associated with

Antibiotic Resistance Nicholas J. Ciotti Nova Southeastern University Biology 1510 Professor A. Hirons March 28‚ 2011 Abstract Antibiotic resistance is when microorganisms‚ such as bacteria‚ are able to survive an exposure to antibiotics and these bacteria are now resistant to the effects of these antibiotics. Antibiotic resistance in bacteria has been an issue since antibiotics were discovered. The fact that bacteria can become resistant to our medical treatments such as antibiotics

We want it gone and we want it gone as soon as possible so we reach for the antibiotics! Antibiotics have been the corner stone of hope for the sick and dying people of our society. This hope‚ however‚ has a dark lining that has more recently begun

Task- Lucy Kerslake What causes antibiotic resistance? Antibiotic resistance occurs when an antibiotic is no longer effective against a particular bacteria‚ making that organism resistant to the effects of the antibiotic. Bacteria become resistant due to selective pressure. Those organisms which resist the antibiotic‚ and do not die from it ’s effects have a greater chance of survival within the host‚ therefore allowing them to reproduce and spread it ’s resistance to other bacteria. while the ones

Evolution of Antibiotic Resistance Maricia Overly Professor Ellen Doyle South University Online July 30‚ 2011 Abstract “Super Bugs” (Clemmitt‚ 2007) are beginning to take control of our health. Antibiotic resistance has enabled germs that once caused very little harm the ability to leave us in dire straights. The worst part of these “Super Bugs” (Clemmitt‚ 2007) is that people can be walking around with them infecting others without knowing it. Evolution of bugs due to the overuse of antibiotics

Killer at large: Antibiotic Resistance Remember that teacher who would make students use antibacterials on the way in and out of the classroom? Scientist and medical professionals have now realized that all antibacterials‚ antibiotics and antimicrobials are contributing to a large complication that may make it so no bacteriums can be killed. Since the creation of antibiotics in 1896‚ doctors and medical practitioners have been able to save hundreds of millions of

Antibiotic resistance In recent years a challenge to the effective treatment of an ever-increasing range of infections caused by microbes is antimicrobial resistance (AMR). AMR results in reduced effectiveness of antibiotics‚ making the treatment of patients very difficult and sometimes impossible. The impact on especially susceptible patients is most evident‚ resulting in prolonged illness and increased mortality. The total problem caused by AMR on medical field in general and healthcare sector

Antibiotic resistance results from bacteria changing in ways that make those antibiotics no longer useful. Resistance is a common yet problematic issue in treating pulmonary exacerbations or infections in people with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Not all bacteria are bad. However‚ there are some that can cause infections. As bacteria are exposed to antibiotics over time‚ resistance may develop‚ and the number of antibiotics we have to kill the bacteria decreases as well. Thus‚ it is important to learn
