Common Questions and Answers about Antibiotics resistant gram positive
antibiotics
Gram positive bacteria like MRSA (staph infections) are typically not resistant to antibiotics as appose to gram negative which are. It is possible to treat the problem but if the infection is in your blood stream although the bacteria is killed, endotoxin (in the cell wall or core of bacteria) is hard to clean from your blood. It attacks your tissues and causes inflamation.
Hi I wonder if your bleeding is really a brown discharge? Although you can bleed with PID. Also, GC can cause PID and GC is becoming very very resistant. It isn't a gram negative cocco bacilli (it is a diplococci) so I wonder if you either still have the GC or got it back from your boyfriend? Is he being treated too? If not you will just keep getting it. You may also have PID caused by a gram negative coccobacillin too or just that. Do you or did you have a fever?
In the case of tb, for example, there are 16,000 varients of the bacteria. There are bacteria that are anaerobic and those that are not. There gram positive and gram negative. As for the side effects file a drug reaction form at the FDA site. There are many different reactions to what are similar antibiotics. For example many people tolerate Cipro, a fluoroqinalone and cannot tolerate Levaquin, a similarly structed antibiotic.
The results were positive for gram positive cocci moderate and a few PMNs. The urologist issued me a script for amoxicillion 2 tablets a day for a week. He also had a urinalysis done which was clear, a. What is the proper treatment for gram positive cocci could he do a more detailed test to be able to finally put bug away I also took a further single dose of Zithro
I had a hsv test came back IGG positive IGM negative in the first fews days 6 days later had cold sore on lip first ever .
There is a lot to know about antibiotics and the different family. Ie. The spectrum of activity. Gram postitive or gram negative...
Bacteria detected in urinalysis are stained with a gram stain and organisms are classified into gram-positive and gram-negative groups and antibiotic treatment changes based on which type the organism is. Also most bacteria have a typical appearance and can be identified on the basis of this appearance.
Please let me know what the urinalysis says about the gram-positive or negative organism.
The culture medium changes for some bacteria as they do not grow in the standard culture media.
Recently I had a positive chlamydia finding from a Pathologist associated with a "high end" fertility clinic in New York who did a urethral swab and in his own lab used a special European test (very expensive) using a "flourescent antibody" test using "visual reading" which also was described as a DFA test. He said it involves staining, where he read the results directly under the microscope to see what had turned a particular color.
As you point out, an increasing proportion of gonorrhea is now resistant to ciprofloxacin and related antibiotics. As a result, it is no longer recommended for therapy.
The CDC's treatment guidelines are meant to provide about a 97% cure rate for persons treated as recommended. Your treatment, while likely to have cured you, may have also transformed it from a symptomatic infection to an asymptomatic one. Recommended treatment for gonorrhea in the U.S.
The correct answer is "maybe". Amoxicillan is effective against only certain varieties of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The intestinal infection may be due to a bacteria against which this antibiotic is not effective. A single antibiotic is never used to combat helibactor plylori infections. Three antibiotics are used at the same time.
Dr,
Thank you for your answer! It is helpful indeed.
OK,I've been surfing the Internet trying to educate myself on the subject and to better understand my test results. I think maybe I was wrong to say I was not tested for gonorrhea......
With the recent CDC announcement about gonorrhea and it's resistance to certain antibiotics, i was wondering if one of the dr's could comment on the 'current' efficacy of the 2 gram single dose of azithromycin? Is this still an effective regiment for gonorrhea and / or chlamydia, NGU, etc.? Are there particular cases or reasons for the patients where this treatment has started to fail? Thank you.
Could the Gonorrhea(if it is) be cleared and the discharge be from urethral irritation only? Is there an NGU bacteria that is resistant to all these antibiotics? Can gonorrhea symptoms show up in hours? The Doc said yes. Looking forward to your advice!
My semen culture report shows "GRAM STAIN: Occasional pus cells and Gram positive cocci in pairs seen & ORGANISM ISOLATED: Moderate growth of Coagulase negative Staphylococci'". what does it really mean. does it effect my fertility or it will cause any miscarriages to my spouse due to this. please answer to this. what antibiotic is the best for this. culture & sensitivty of semen does not show any sensitivity or resistant to any antibiotic.
But to do this properly they have to do a culture of the boils and each area infected to see if they are resistant to antibiotics. Do you know if this is MRSA or just a Staph that is sensitive to antibiotics or did they test these yet? You need to find out if they haven't yet. The kidney problems sounds like you either have diabetes or the infection has gone into other areas of the body. Do you have a high fever? You really need to see a doctor about this.
In other words, will the infection be more resistant to antibiotics in somebody who is showing symptoms, as opposed to someone who is asymptomatic? Thanks again.
Gram-negative simply meens that the bacteria did not stain with negative dye, negative bacteria is harder to kill with antibiotics than positive. Don't worry it is a good thing. I am a nurse.
Yes it was since I was with him.
I finished this course of antibiotics about a week and a half ago, and went in for my (hopefully) final set of swabs today. Results will be available early next week. Although I've been given pretty hardcore antibiotics, I'm not entirely sure that they have worked, and I think I might still be Chlamydia positive. Does anybody know of any cases where the Chlamydia has been drug resistant? And if so, how was the Chlamydia treated?
If the antibiotic is formulated to kill gram negative bacteria and the dog is ill with a gram positive bacteria, the antibiotic will be ineffective. Ditto if the antibiotic is supposed to kill gram positive bacteria and the dog is sick with a gram negative bacteria. And if the dog has a virus and not a bacteria, the antibiotic will not help ANYTHING and, in fact, could actually serve to throw off the balance between good and bad gut flora and fauna leading to serious problems.
