Answer:
Bacteria are highly adaptable microorganisms who have the capability of developing defense mechanisms against that which may harm them. Not least important of all, is the easiness with which some bacteria, especially pathogenic bacteria like Salmonella, or Klebsiella, develop mechanisms of resistance to antiseptics and, most importantly, antibiotics.
Antibiotics are a chemical substance that was created, and has been developed, in order to be able to combat pathogenic microorganisms, specifically bacteria. However, because today these substances are being used indiscriminately, we are now seeing a very worrying pattern of antibiotic-resistance patterns in microorganisms that used to be sensible to them. The result, we are facing strains of pathogenic bacteria, like Klebsiella pneumonia and E. Coli, that have become resistan to all types of antibiotics, from first generation, to fourth generation. And this has meant that when people acquire infection by these pathogens, the likelihood of death by them has increased because there are no agents capable of combating them.
Exposure to antibiotics has been the sole reason why these resistant strains of bacteria have emerged, especially when these antibiotics are not necessary. And feeding these substances to animals, to ensure their development and weight gain, has not made the situation any better. Now, we are instead adding also bacteria to the list that did not use to be resistant, but that are becoming so as they become adjusted to the constant exposure to antibiotics. Again, the result has been: more people infected with bacterial strains that cannot be combated with any of the existing antibiotic agents.
Answer:
Is a bone marrow biopsy painful? Most people need only local anesthesia, as bone marrow aspiration, in particular, can cause brief, but sharp, pain. Individuals are fully awake during the procedure, but the aspiration and biopsy site will be numbed to reduce pain.
Answer:
Kindly check explanation as the question seems incomplete but the explanation should help.
Explanation:
Given the following :
Initial dosage of drug = 100mg
Halflife of drug = 6hours
After 18 hours, the percentage of drug that will be in the system should be :
Half-life is the time taken for a material to reduce to half of it's initial size.
Since half life = 6 hours
After 6 hours ; amount left = 100/2 = 50 mg
After 12 hours ; amount left = 50/2 = 25mg
After 18 hours ; amount left = 25/2 = 12.5mg
Hence, after 18 hours percentage left in system :
(Amount left / total initial amount) × 100%
(12.5 / 100) × 100%
0.125 × 100%
= 12.5%
Answer:
not safe
Explanation:
Because the package says the oral dose is only 0.25 to 1
