Health care facilities today have various precautions that they take every day to ensure that every patient who visits their facility is adequately taken care of. These precautions include anything that will benefit the patient in a positive manner to improve their health and natural well-being. Infection control is one of the most important precautions to always perform while in any hospital departments. This precaution must be religiously performed in every department to keep it in top shape.

action. Target modification can also occur through highly efficient and region specific modification catalysed by enzymes. An example of this method is ribosome methyltransferase. The ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) resistance gene‚ erythromycin-resistant methylase (Erm) transforms the 23S rRNA of the ribosome creating resistance to 3 different classes of antibiotics; macrolides e.g. erythromycin‚ lincosamides eg. Clindamycin and type B streptogramins e.g. quinupristin. Although these antibiotics

evolution of these bacteria to become resistant to drugs that were designed to combat these infections. Throughout 1950s‚ S. aureus became resistant to penicillin‚ so methicillin was introduced to counter the growing populations of penicillin-resistant S. aureus. In 1961‚ the first strains of S. aureus bacteria became resistant to methicillin and so the methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) was born. Since methicillin is a form of penicillin‚ the MRSA are resistant to an entire class of penicillin-like

Faecalis Sensitivity Towards Ampicillin‚ Penicillin‚ and Tetracycline Introduction Enterococci are bacteria that are included in the intestinal flora of humans and are relatively harmless. One method Enterococci maintain a symbiotic relationship is by hydrolyzing esculin in the presence of bile (Susan L. Fraser‚ 2012). However Enterococci are in the top three-nosocomial infections. When infected‚ enterococci can cause numerous infections such as urinary tract infection coupled with fever (Susan

When grown on a TSA plate‚ Staphylococcus aureus appears to be yellow to opaque in color. S. aureus is known as one of the most resistant bacterium to multiple antibiotics and considered the most pathogenic. Everyone is susceptible to S. aureus with one way of transmission being from foods such as chicken‚ eggs‚ meat‚ and tuna which can all cause food poisoning. Another way of transmitting
