Avatar f tn In 2011, drugmakers sold nearly 30 million pounds of antibiotics for livestock — the largest amount yet recorded and about 80 percent of all reported antibiotic sales that year. The rest was for human health care." "It may sound counterintuitive, but feeding antibiotics to livestock at low levels may do the most harm.
Avatar n tn You don't get resistance to antibiotics with HIV or AIDS. I have to take an antibiotic everyday and have for the last three years seven months.
Avatar f tn http://news.yahoo.com/antibiotic-resistance-catastrophic-threat-medical-chief-000913224.html LONDON (Reuters) - Antibiotic resistance poses a catastrophic threat to medicine and could mean patients having minor surgery risk dying from infections that can no longer be treated, Britain's top health official said on Monday.
Avatar n tn Short courses of antibiotics have long-term impact on microbial flora of human gut Short courses of antibiotics can leave normal gut bacteria harbouring antibiotic resistance genes for up to two years after treatment, say scientists writing in the latest issue of Microbiology, published on 3 November.
163305 tn?1333668571 —Cóilín Nunan, Alliance to Save Our Antibiotics News outlets reported Monday that UK government scientists have found a gene, known as mcr-1, that gives bacteria resistance to colistin, often used by doctors when other antibiotics fail. Such resistance was first discovered last month in China, and in the past few weeks, the resistance gene has also been found in Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, and in several Asian and African countries.
Avatar m tn In that case your chances of catching anything are slim, furthermore taking antiobiotics for absolutely no reason can increase your resistance to antibiotics. So when/if you REALLY need to take them one day they might not work.
1691275 tn?1322327507 There are no contraindications whatsoever to taking two antibiotics and a strong arguement to continue with the first antibiotic as per doctor's orders and simultaneously take the second. There are slight variants in the way both antibiotics attack replication of bacteria. If you fail to complete the amoxcillin you risk developing an amoxcillan resistant strain. Generally medical practice is not to over-use antibiotics to prevent the development of resistant strains.
Avatar f tn antibiotic resistance is very real and very dangerous. I'm a fan of not taking any antibiotics without a confirmed infection. I see every single day the effects of multiple drug resistant infections in people and it's not worth taking an antibiotic just in case.
Avatar m tn t work, a physician will try another class. There are different resistance levels to different antibiotics and all different kinds of bacteria that some antibiotics are more effective against than others. I'd follow your doctors orders and take the medicine.
Avatar f tn my mother did in fact contact mrsa, we think through insertion of a catherter ,while she was admitted in the hospital. she was treated for that about a year ago. she probably did spread it to her eyes through rubbing them. the eye was cultured,and her doctor said the infection was resistant to the ciprofloxacin. he called a few days after he wrote the prescription and said we could put it in her eyes if we wanted to but it probably wouldnt help.
Avatar m tn we don't recommend treating like this at all. this is part of why antibiotic resistance is so wide spread and it's something medical providers even are getting away from. if you suspect you have something, be seen and get a proper work up and testing done and treat according to test results. if you haven' t received oral sex yet then only receive protected oral sex if it's not a regular partner. protects you against bacterial std's as well as viral std's.
Avatar f tn Since 8 months I'm struggling with antibiotics resistance Chlamydia I'm on a cocktail antibiotics still the symptoms persists?
Avatar n tn Although antibiotics are relatively safe drugs, as stated, there are some side effects. These side effects could potentially become exacerbated if a person ingests alcohol when taking antibiotics. Furthermore, the mixture of both antibiotics and alcohol can also have some additional negative effects on the body. Alcohol and the Effectiveness of Antibiotics Alcohol does not effect the effectiveness of the majority of antibiotics.
19413498 tn?1477669741 I had a unprotected encounter a few months ago. After about a week I noticed redness and irritation on head of penis and some itchiness insiude urethra. I went to the doctor who gave me a week of doxycycline, symptoms still persisted. I got tested for STDs all negative but doctor gave me azithromycin and a shot of rocephin in case of chlamydia/gonorrhea... Symptoms still persisted so I got a single dose of metridonazole for trich and that seemed to work.
Avatar m tn Girl A is prescribed Deoxycycline twice daily for 1 week (Girl A never tested, but took antibiotics due to exposure) - Advised not to have sex for 7 days.
Avatar m tn I didn't advise you to stop it - I said you didn't need it, and explained that taking antibiotics you don't need creates resistance. If you aren't taking antibiotics that you don't need often, you shouldn't have resistance. One time won't hurt. Are you in counseling? I hope you consider it. I say that with compassion.
Avatar m tn Some people have less resistance and the resistance also decreases with intake of continuous antibiotics. You would need to check your antibody levels. I would also suggest you to eat healthy and diet rich in proteins and calcium. I would suggest you to consider blood culture and also the culture of the tissue surrounding the implant and also culture of the pus. Follow up with a microbiologist along with your regular orthopedician and infectious diseases specialist. Take care!
Avatar f tn You see, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and Moxifloxacin are all in the same class of antibiotics and bacteria creates resistance to classes of antibiotics, not individual antibiotics.
Avatar f tn Hi 15 days is ok for retesting
Avatar f tn Hi, you cant contract any throat std from your affair but maybe a common cold virus as antibiotics will not affect any virus and thats why it not working. Since your stressed out about this have a doctor check you throat to make sure all is ok.
Avatar m tn Consistently taking antibiotics isn't very healthy. It can really disrupt the natural flora of your gut, mouth and throat. Your scratchy throat could be contributed to an over abundance of candida or other organisms that aren't affected by the tetracycline. Are you self medicating or is this part of some other kind of doctor's program? Secondly, tetracycline is second generation antibiotic.
Avatar f tn I know that some STD are resistant to certain antibiotics. What antibiotics are the best for STD treatment?
