Vaccination against pneumococcal infection in children in developing countries will not only reduce the incidence of pneumonia, meningitis and other dangerous diseases caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, but also slow down the development of drug resistance of the bacterium. The use of a conjugate vaccine for the prevention of pneumococcal infections reduces the incidence of infection […]
Enzymes as a means of creating antibiotics
For example, builders know that precision and special tools are required to perform the task correctly. The same is true at the molecular level when creating antibiotics (combined and other, for example, amoxil). New data obtained at North Carolina State University demonstrates the possibility of using the enzyme as a “wrench” in the” assembly ” […]
A new approach in the development of antibiotics
Researchers from McMaster University in Canada have proposed a new approach to the development of antibiotics that may help solve the problem of drug resistance of infectious agents. The results of the study are published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology. The scientists drew attention to the fact that in contrast to laboratory conditions, where […]
Effectiveness of a new component of antibiotics
Scientists have announced, in their own words, a “major breakthrough” in the fight against antibiotic resistance, after a new component of antibiotics demonstrated effectiveness in the second phase of clinical trials. Resistance to antibiotic therapy is manifested in the insensitivity of the infection to certain antibacterial agents as a result of changes in microorganisms. Antibiotic-resistant […]
Immunity and antibiotics
There are strong links between the nature of nutrition, the development of the child and the state of his immunity. The scientific justification of these relations has been formulated in the last 15-20 years. However, if developing countries are characterized by the problem of protein and energy deficiency (actually starvation), then in countries with developed […]
Microbe vs Antibiotic
Microbe vs antibiotic: In the global battle against antibiotic resistance, where on the one hand – pharmaceutical giants and governments, ordinary doctors and patients, and on the other – escherichia coli, mycobacteria and vibrio cholerae, no one has emerged victorious, and it is still unknown which side has the upper hand. Just 60-plus years after […]
The relevance of disease prevention
The relevance of disease prevention the benefits of using preventive approaches have become particularly evident over the past 2-3 decades, when cases of mass diseases have become less common due to effective clinical preventive measures. Thanks to the vaccination of children, infectious diseases such as polio, which used to roll in regular epidemic waves (more […]
How to get cured if you get infected from a prostitute?
So, what to do if you get infected from a prostitute? Use condoms every time you have sex with a prostitute. If you use a lubricant, make sure it is not water-based (water-based lubricants can damage the condom). Always use a condom with prostitutes, this will save you from most possible troubles. Condoms do not […]
How antibiotics affect the liver
Hepatotoxic reactions to medicines occupy an important place in the structure of drug-related morbidity and mortality of the population and are the main reason for regulatory decisions regarding medicines, including their withdrawal from the market. Acute drug-induced liver damage can cause more than 1,200 drugs, 200 of which are potentially hepatotoxic. According to pharmacoepidemiological studies, […]
How the world is developing new antibiotics
Developing new antibiotics: Antibiotics are no longer a panacea: bacteria evolve, ceasing to respond to once-powerful drugs. Our body’s resistance to antibiotics is also developing. In 2019, according to the WHO, the number of cases of tuberculosis resistant to several drugs at once in Russia was 5.4 per 100 thousand people. How much in the […]
