Alexander Fleming's discovery of penicillin came about by accident.
Fleming was an untidy worker, often leaving his equipment uncleaned. When he went away for a holiday during 1828, he left a clutter of plates growing various bacteria lying about his desk. After he returned, whilst working on an influenza virus he noticed that mould had grown on a staphylococcus culture plate. Not only that, the mould had created a bacteria-free circle around itself. Working on an hypothesis, he experimented further to determine that even a weaker-strength mould culture prevented growth of staphylococci. Thus, Fleming initiated the development and practice of antibiotic therapy for Infectious Diseases.
It is usually called MRSA: Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. Methycillin is a version of penicillin that was developed to attack penicillin-resistant bacteria. MRSA can sometimes be treated with other common antibiotics like tetracyclines, e.g. doxycycline.
Staphylococcus aureus is typically treated with antibiotics, such as penicillin or cephalosporins. In some cases, if the strain is resistant, stronger antibiotics like vancomycin may be necessary. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by a healthcare provider to ensure the infection is fully eradicated and to prevent antibiotic resistance.
Sulfonamide drugs (sometimes called the sulfa drugs) were first synthesized in 1932 and were the first effective antimicrobial drugs used during WW II. Later commercial production of penicillin (from 1942 first successful use clinically , discovered 1928) made it possible to provide penicillin towards the end of WW II to stave off infections in soldiers . http://www.answers.com/topic/sulfonamide-medicine http://www.answers.com/topic/penicillin http://www.answers.com/topic/gerhard-domagk
can scapula winging be treated
Infections caused by this include urinary tract infections, bacteremia, bacterial endocarditis, diverticulitis, and meningitis. It some times is seen after neurological surgery. It can be treated with ampicillin, penicillin and vancomycin. Some strains are vancomycin resistant and it has become a growing problem in the USA. It s found normally in the lower GI tract, soil, and some waters.
Penicillin
baterical infections
Penicillin is an antibiotic. It only treats bacterial infections, not mental disorders.
he did more research on penicillin & treated people successfully using it.
by medications such as penicillin or erythromycin. Erythromycin appears to be more effective than penicillin.
Pregnant women with GBS in their urine are treated with penicillin.
because it is a virus
Yes, Alexander Fleming's discovery of penicillin in 1928 revolutionized medicine by introducing the first antibiotic drug. Penicillin has saved countless lives by effectively treating bacterial infections that were previously fatal.
No. TB is commonly resistant to numerous antibiotics. It's generally treated with a cocktail of antibiotics, none are Penicillin.
Some enterococci can be treated with penicillin, ampicillin, and vancomycin. Enterococci that are resistant to those drugs can be treated with Synercid.
Uncomplicated cystitis is treated with antibiotics. These include penicillin, ampicillin, and amoxicillin; sulfisoxazole or sulfamethoxazole; trimethoprim; nitrofurantoin
. FDA-approved agents include ciprofloxacin, doxycycline and penicillin.
