The aim of topical antimicrobial treatment is to control microbial colonization and their consequent proliferation. Today‚ silver sulfadiazine is the most widely used topical antimicrobial for burn treatment. Silver sulfadiazine has numerous clinical advantages‚ including a broad antimicrobial spectrum and low toxicity. Silver sulfadiazine has in vitro activity against many burn wound pathogens including

Antimicrobial Resistance: Public Health Issue and Role of Nurses in Prevention Antimicrobial resistance is a significant global issue with serious implications for human health. The microorganisms that were previously sensitive to antibiotic treatment are now capable of withstanding attacks by antimicrobial medicines. One of the main reasons that cause antimicrobial resistance is the misuse of antibiotics‚ which includes an inappropriate selection of antibiotic type‚ dose‚ route‚ or duration of

Further‚ we aim to identify the mechanisms by which garlic interferes with the inflammatory process of

Does Garlic repel Mosquitoes? *Answer Mosquitoes have almost no olfactory powers whatsoever--they have‚ in fact‚ a very selective and narrow olfactory "spectrum". But this is actually irrelevant; you see‚ the way a mosquito "repellent" works is NOT by being detected and driving insects away‚ but by blocking their ability to smell things that otherwise would attract them‚ so they ignore you. (In the same way‚ household "deodorizers" don’t actually eliminate odors‚ but merely block your ability

Antimicrobial Agents Lisette Vazquez October 27‚ 2013 Antimicrobial Agents Antimicrobial agents are utilized to kill microorganisms that cause infections. In order to be able to kill these microorganisms we must have an understanding of the factor associated with the infection. The purpose of this paper is to explore the different types of antimicrobial agents and the differences between viral and bacterial infections. Antimicrobial Agent Categories There are several antimicrobial

Antimicrobial resistance takes a place when a microorganism develops the ability to resist the action of an antimicrobial. (AVMA) In other words‚ the microorganism progress‚ ways to stay alive and reproduce in the presence of an antibiotic that used to prevent these actions. At this time‚ the process of resistance development is a very difficult process and researchers do not know for sure about what can make a resistance happen. (AVMA) Antimicrobials are spread through the food production systems

and duration of required cultivation time. There are some radishes that are grown for their seeds; oilseed radishes are grown‚ as the name implies‚ for oil production. The most commonly eaten portion is the napiform tap root‚ although the entire plant is edible and the tops can be used as a leaf vegetable. The bulb of the radish is usually eaten raw‚ although tougher specimens can be steamed. The raw flesh has a crisp texture and a pungent‚ peppery flavor‚ caused by glucosinolates and the enzyme

Garlic and Bacteria Inhibition Does garlic keep vampires away? You can’t prove it scientifically‚ but many people do believe that garlic is good for what ails you — among other things it helps to ward off infection. Emily Koch noticed that her mom‚ who eats garlic‚ has fewer colds than other family members‚ so she decided to see if the stories about garlic are true. You can get a look at her project display in the figure. Figure: Project display for “Garlic and bacteria inhibition.” Hypothesis
