Why do you think fecal transplants have stimulated renewed
research into the development of probiotic and prebiotic therapies?
Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
- No one would dispute the facts that the use of antibiotics is extremely beneficial. Why then are there currently discussions around the idea that we as a society should be limiting our antibiotic use? What are the pros and cons of utilizing antibacterial and antimicrobial products (NOT antibiotics) on a daily basis? Do you agree or disagree that the use of antibiotics should be reduced and if so, how should it be done?Will the results of an in vitro antibiotic sensitivity test always agree with the results of an in vivo use of the antibiotic? Why or why not?Are there any potential contraindications or interactions you need to be aware of when taking probiotics?
- Does TGF-β treatment cause cells to grow more or less in the soft-agar assay? (a) More, (b) LessBecause of overuse of antibiotics and/or weakened governmental surveillance of infectious disease, several diseasesthat had been thought to be no longer a threat to humanhealth (e.g., pneumonia and tuberculosis) are rapidly becoming unmanageable. In several instances, so-called superbugs(microorganisms that are resistant to almost all known antibiotics) have been detected. How did this circumstancearise? What will happen if this process continues?The World Health Organization (WHO, 2017) haslisted six steps individualscan take to prevent and control the spread of antibiotic resistance. a.One of the recommendations is “Never demand antibiotics if your health worker says you don’t need them.”Explain why when you have a flu, your health care worker would say that you do not need antibiotics. What are the other five recommendations?
- Antibiotic resistance is a real threat to the human race. Unfortunately, it has not been given the kind of attention it deserves. So a lot of people are unaware of the seriousness of the situation and its consequences. You are expected to do a literature search about this burning issue and turn in a paper. I am not particular about the style you use for the paper. But I am particular about the fact that you must reference every statement you make if you are taking it from somewhere. I want you to use the ACS format to cite your reference Your paper must have an introduction. Your paper must read like an essay (headings are optional). If you use a question answer format I will not grade your paper. Please do not use the numbering or bullet format in writing the paper, the use of paragraphs is more appropriate. Please ensure that your paper is cohesive in font and writing style. In your paper please address the following issues · What are antibiotics? · What is antibiotic resistance? ·…Write a 200-300-word reflective essay on the emerging case of Antibiotic Resistance and what is your standpoint? How can you help to combat this threat?A report from the U.S. National Academy of Sciencesand the National Academy of Medicine is recommendingthat germ-line therapy trials only be consideredfor serious conditions for which there is no reasonablealternative treatment option, and where both the risk–benefit options and broad oversight are available.

- In 2015 the WHO surveyed 10,000 people on the subject of drugresistance. Seventy-five percent of them said that antibiotic resistanceis due to the body becoming resistant to the drug.
