The study of antibiosis and its role in antibiotics has led to the expansion of knowledge in the field of microbiology. Molecular processes such cell wall synthesis and recycling, for example, have become better understood through the study of how antibiotics affect beta-lactam development through the antibiosis relationship and interaction of the particular drugs with the bacteria subjected ...
The overuse of fluoroquinolone and other antibiotics fuels antibiotic resistance in bacteria, which can inhibit the treatment of antibiotic-resistant infections. [ 27 ] [ 28 ] [ 29 ] Their excessive use in children with otitis media has given rise to a breed of bacteria resistant to antibiotics entirely. [ 30 ]
Antimicrobial use has been common practice for at least 2000 years. Ancient Egyptians and ancient Greeks used specific molds and plant extracts to treat infection. [5]In the 19th century, microbiologists such as Louis Pasteur and Jules Francois Joubert observed antagonism between some bacteria and discussed the merits of controlling these interactions in medicine.

“Research has shown that with antibiotics, there's a compromise: the antibiotic slows the recovery of your gut. It basically makes it hard for your gut to bounce back. What we want is a gut that ...
An October 2001 report by the World Health Organization (WHO) defines probiotics as "live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host." [ 12 ] [ 13 ] Following this definition, a working group convened by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)/WHO in May 2002 issued the Guidelines for the ...
Your gut is endangered. And that’s not a good thing for your health—or the health of the rest of the world.
Antibiotics have severe impacts on gut microbiota, ridding of both good and bad bacteria. Without proper rehabilitation, it can be easy for harmful bacteria to become dominant. Probiotics may help to mitigate this by supplying healthy bacteria into the gut and replenishing the richness and diversity of the gut microbiota.
The family of a 20-year-old man is speaking out after he was found dead at the bottom of a hotel elevator shaft in Turkey while reportedly on his first vacation with his girlfriend.
