In the treatment of sexual infections and sexually transmitted diseases, the main role is given to antibiotics. When inflammation, skin rashes, secretions are detected, broad-spectrum drugs are prescribed, and antiviral and antifungal agents act as “assistants”. There are no replacement drugs for the treatment of STDs. Conditionally pathogenic and pathogenic bacteria – pale treponema, gonococci, […]
The diet when taking antibiotics
For the treatment of most infections caused by pathogenic bacteria, special medications are prescribed – antibiotics. Some of them have a wide range of actions: they destroy a large number of microorganisms. Others-affect only certain species. It is known that the use of antibiotics can lead to unpleasant side effects. “In particular, these drugs affect […]
Antimicrobial drugs
According to the spectrum of activity, antimicrobial drugs are divided into: antibacterial, antifungal and antiprotozoal. In addition, all antimicrobial agents are divided into drugs of a narrow and wide spectrum of action. Drugs with a narrow spectrum of action mainly on gram-positive microorganisms include, for example, natural penicillins, macrolides, lincomycin, fusidin, oxacillin, vancomycin, cephalosporins of […]
Antibiotics in the age of Covid
Antibiotics in the age of Covid: Which have already lost their effectiveness due to their irrational use? What are “reserve antibiotics” and why are many antibiotics sold without a prescription? Treatment of coronavirus infection has once again stirred up the problem of rational antibiotic therapy. Despite the fact that now they are already talking about […]
Natural antimicrobial system
The discovery and mass use of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture in the second half of the XX century caused one of the main problems facing modern medicine – the emergence of resistant forms of pathogenic microorganisms. The therapeutic effectiveness and commercial success of the use of antibiotics have made our dependence on them absolute. […]
Cephalosporins and macrolides: antibiotics of the XXI century
We have already described the penicillin group in detail in previous articles, and now we will move on to the next generation of antibiotics: cephalosporins and macrolides. Cephalosporins Microbes often act, if not intelligently, then quite logically. If they are threatened by antibiotics of the penicillin series, microbes begin to destroy penicillins (that would be […]
Antibiotics are right under our noses
Antibiotics: German scientists have discovered a new weapon to fight the hospital monster-multi-resistant staphylococcus aureus. For many years, it was hidden not in the permafrost or the Mariana Trench, but right under our noses. Or rather, in it. In recent years, the number of infectious diseases caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria has increased worldwide. Organisms with […]
Evolution is racing, or why antibiotics stop working
Antibiotics stop working? Since the discovery of penicillin, humanity has been constantly conducting a kind of “arms race” with the world of bacteria, which have learned to adapt quickly after the advent of new antibiotics. And, alas, today in this race we have gradually begun to lag behind the opponent. In the face of the […]
Does amoxicillin retain its position today?
Over the past 100 years, a number of discoveries and inventions in the field of chemistry and medicine can rightfully be attributed to the most significant: vaccines, X-rays, blood substitutes, the discovery of the structure of DNA. But, according to doctors, it was penicillin that became the main medical, chemical and biological discovery of the […]
Coronavirus vaccination, why do doctors refuse to vaccinate?
Only 11% of medical workers in Russia refuse to be vaccinated against COVID-19 (coronavirus vaccination). Of these, 7% of respondents have objective reasons in the form of medical contraindications, and another 20% of the participants in the study conducted by the analytical company “RNC Pharma” referred to a high antibody titer after a disease, which […]
