  • Foreign substances (e.g., bacteria or viruses) in the body that are capable of causing disease. (cdc.gov)
  • [5] drugs which inhibit growth of viruses are termed antiviral drugs or antivirals rather than antibiotics. (wikipedia.org)
  • Antibiotics have no effect on viruses . (howstuffworks.com)
Resistant gram negativ1
  • Multi-drug-resistant Gram- negative bacilli were an important complicating factor in wound infections associated with war injuries among injured patients in Libya. (who.int)
Tetracycline1
  • To understand how photocatalysts effect sediment ecological microenvironment in the process of pollution remediation, the impact of typical photocatalyst g-C 3 N 4 (Graphitic carbon nitride) on rivered sediment community polluted by typical antibiotic tetracycline (TC) was investigated. (researchsquare.com)
Types of bacteria1
  • Antibiotics fall into two categories: broad-spectrum antibiotics, which can kill a wide variety of bacterial species, and narrow-spectrum antibiotics, which target specific types of bacteria. (pasteur.fr)
Friendly bacteria1
  • The value of the "friendly bacteria" normally found in the digestive tract, is well established. (askariel.com)
Produces1
  • Treatment with most antibiotics produces remission, but relapse is common and requires prolonged therapy. (msdmanuals.com)
Bacitracin2
Exposure3
  • It had been documented that under exposure of TC, the activity of nitrifying bacteria was prevented and an important Nitrifier , Nitrospira , was inhibited (Du et al. (researchsquare.com)
  • 2015 ), and Bacteroidetes and Acidobacteria were increased, while Actinobacteria and Firmicutes decreased under antibiotics exposure (Uddin et al. (researchsquare.com)
  • Antibiotic stewardship also plays an important role, by limiting exposure of bacteria to antibiotics and by avoiding the selection of resistant bacteria, since antibiotic use is the main risk factor for bacteria acquiring resistance. (inspq.qc.ca)
Susceptibility1
  • Here we describe the isolation, molecular typing, and antibiotic susceptibility testing of the causative agent of a rare case of generalized mycobacteriosis in a crossbred dog. (frontiersin.org)
Empiric2
  • Begin empiric antibiotic coverage according to age and presence of overriding physical conditions. (medscape.com)
  • Empiric antibiotic therapy with IV meropenem 1 g every 8 hours, IV vancomycin 30 mg/kg loading dose followed by 20 mg/kg every 12 hours, IV azithromycin 500 g daily, and aggressive IV rehydration was initiated. (hindawi.com)
Inhibits2
  • Inhibits the transfer of bacteria from the gut to other organs (e.g., liver, lymph nodes). (askariel.com)
  • In current usage, the term "antibiotic" is applied to any medication that kills bacteria or inhibits their growth, regardless of whether that medication is produced by a microorganism or not. (wikipedia.org)
Susceptible2
  • Tetracyclines inhibit protein synthesis and, therefore, bacterial growth by binding with 30S and possibly 50S ribosomal subunits of susceptible bacteria. (medscape.com)
  • These are more susceptible to antibiotics. (softschools.com)
Treat infections1
  • However, when medical infrastructure is destroyed in such events and antibiotics are not available to treat infections in the early stages, pulmonary infections can fester, enter the bloodstream and spread to the brain, producing abscesses. (who.int)
RRNA2
  • They used a gene that encodes for 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in bacteria to characterize the nucleotide sequence of the bacillus from a patient with Whipple disease. (medscape.com)
  • Based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing, strain RMB7 was identified as Bacillus specie. (biomedcentral.com)
Bacterial cell wall1
  • The ability for polypeptide antibiotics to inhibit bacterial cell wall growth and thus bacterial replication, is a main factor in the approach to develop new antibacterial drugs. (wikipedia.org)
Multidrug resistant2
  • these are known as multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria. (pasteur.fr)
  • In addition to the specific measures, routine IPC practices, in particular hand hygiene, play an important role in preventing transmission of multidrug-resistant bacteria. (inspq.qc.ca)
Species of bacteria1
  • Patterns of drug resistance varied according to species of bacteria but were generally quite high. (who.int)
Administration of antibiotics2
  • This results in inhibition of pathogenic microflora, the body is quickly recovering after the poisoning, serious illnesses (not only digestive), infectious lesions, long-term administration of antibiotics. (kalinka-store.com)
  • In spite of administration of antibiotics, her respiratory state and oxygenation worsened. (who.int)
