Antibiotic Resistance and Quality
This week in class we discussed antibiotic resistance. This is a very real and scary problem in our society today. The bacterial resistance can be several mechanisms including inate, acquired, or genetic recombination. Beta -lactams have an interesting mechanism of resistnace where the target or binding site is altered. S. aureus resistance to multiple drugs is a major problem we see frequently. The following article discusses this issue in meat and poultry in the United States. S. aureus contaminated 47% of the samples, and multidrug resistance was common among isolates (52%). S. aureus genotypes and resistance profiles differed significantly among sample types, suggesting food animal–specific contamination. This is a problem that many people are begining to recognize and try to take action. The Washington Post published an article saying the American Medical Association and the Infectious Diseases Society of America have called on the FDA to ban feeding antibiotics to healthy animals. Testing for the extended spectrum beta-lactamases include both screenng and confirmatory tests. The most important things to remember is the physician will want to know what the bacteria is reststant and susceptile to, and treat the patiet quickly and effectively! Community acquired MRSA is more prevalent, and with football season approaching, athletes should remember to protect themselves!

I absolutely agree with what the American Medical Association and the Infectious Diseases Society of America is trying to do. Let's think about this: would you be okay with the doctor continuous prescribing you antibiotics and there is nothing medically wrong with you? No you wouldn't so why would think this is a good idea for animals that we eat. I also really appreciate this ad that the CDC has made about the importance of proper skin care. The skin is one of our body's first defenses against infection. We take better care of out skin as far as hygiene and recognizing that a cut does need to be clean and dry and I think it will make a difference.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the ad. I thought it was really cute, but very true at the same time. It's very important for us to take care of our primary source of protection when it comes to our body. We want our football players to really protect themselves, so that they can do their best on the field.
ReplyDeleteI am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee.

Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid,,Non Hodgkin Lymphoma,Skin Cancer,Uterine Cancer,Prostate Cancer Dercum,Infertility,fibromyalgia,Get Your Ex Back,Als,SYPHILLIS,Genetic disease,Epilepsy, Parkinson's disease..You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Herbal Doctor via this e-mail: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or call and whatsapp him on +2348149277967 He will help you and his herb medication is sure. he has the cure on all disease .You can talk to me on INSTAGRAM..tashamoore219....
