This book was released on 2022-08-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upon completion of his degree programs (with very high honors) on a federal scholarship, Rudolf was puzzled by the increasing devastation wrecked on both human lives and national economies around the world by antibiotic resistance (also known as 'drug resistance'). He then set out to research the why and how of this phenomenon, with the goal of finding the solution to this untamed, century-old threat. Fifteen years of research and investigation later, using a singular, comprehensive, and brightly original approach, he discovers the three Laws of Biological Resistance along with multiple other results, including from Theoretical Physics concepts by Einstein, which are all presented here. In that process, his data-based and mathematically-derived results not only unravel the several errors that we have been making over the past 100 years in our attempt to understand and subdue the antibiotic resistance, he also lays out the solution (finally!) needed for solving once for all the resistance threat, not only in medicine but also in agriculture.
Download or read book The Antibiotic Paradox written by Stuart B. Levy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery of antibiotics heralded medicine's triumph over previously fatal diseases that once destroyed entire civilizations - thus earning their reputation as miracle drugs. But today, the terrifying reality of antibiotic-resistant bacteria resulting from our widespread misuse of antibiotics forewarns us that the miracle may be coming to an end. The seemingly innocent consumer who demands antibiotics to treat nonbacterial diseases such as the common cold or plays doctor by saving old prescriptions for later use is paving the way for a future of antibiotic failure. "What harm can it do?" is a popular refrain of people worldwide as they pop another antibiotic pill. Dr. Stuart Levy - the leading international expert on hazards of antibiotic misuse - reveals how this cavalier and naive attitude about the power of antibiotics can have deadly consequences. He explains that we are presently witnessing a massive evolutionary change in bacteria. This build-up of new antibiotic-resistant bacteria in individuals and the environment worldwide is an insidious and silent process. Thus, unwittingly consumers encounter resistant bacteria in their meat, poultry, fish, and vegetables. Unregulated dispensing of antibiotics in poorer countries breeds countless more resistant strains. Since bacteria recognize no geographical boundaries, resistant forms can travel the globe. If this trend continues to grow unchecked, we may someday find that all of our antibiotics are obsolete. Today doctors can no longer expect that their first choice of antibiotic for women's urinary tract infections or children's ear infections will work. Similarly, cancer therapy is rendered useless if patients are unable to fight infections that are sometimes resistant to eight to ten different drugs. In developing countries, people are now dying of previously treatable diseases that are no longer responsive to traditional antibiotics. These problems are just a harbinger of what will come if we do not act now. Dr. Levy, recognized by The New Yorker for his superb contributions to this field, is sending out an urgent message that the world cannot afford to ignore any longer. The goal of this unprecedented investigation into the dangers of antibiotic misuse is to protect the world community from resistant infections and ensure the success of antibiotics for generations to come

Download or read book Drug Resistance in Bacteria Fungi Malaria and Cancer written by Gunjan Arora and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-21 with total page 629 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of past and recent knowledge in the field of emerging drug resistance. The book covers major aspects of drug resistance in bacteria, fungi, malaria, and cancer.Human survival on earth is constantly threatened by disease and syndrome. From the early days, the aim of research in medicine was to find therapeutic agents that can improve the quality of human life. Although humans are dependent on natural compounds from early days their dependence of drugs increased excessively in last century. The advances in chemistry and biology have helped researchers to identify the drugs that have improved treatment of many diseases. The primary factor for treatment of these diseases is dependent on the efficacy of drugs available. The development of resistance to these drugs is one of the major hindrances. Although there are number of books available on this topic, “drug resistance” biology across kingdoms has never been discussed in a coherent way.

Download or read book Infection and Resistance an Exposition of the Biological Phenomena Underlying the Occurrence of Infection and the Recovery of the Animal Body From Infectious Disease written by Hans Zinsser and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Infection and Resistance, an Exposition of the Biological Phenomena Underlying the Occurrence of Infection and the Recovery of the Animal Body From Infectious Disease Infectious diseases, biologically considered, is the reaction which takes place between invading micro-organisms and their products, on the one hand, and the cells and fluids of the animal's body on the other. The disease is the product of two variable factors, each of them to a certain extent amenable to analysis, and it is self-evident that no true understanding of this branch of medicine is possible without a knowledge of the biological principles which laboratory study has revealed. For the purpose of helping to render such knowledge easily accessible this book was written. While it is hoped that it may prove useful to the practitioner and laboratory worker, it is intended primarily for the undergraduate medical student. To many it will seem that the subject in general and our method of treatment especially are too technical and difficult for this purpose. Our own experience contradicts this. During the past three years the writer has had the opportunity to deliver lectures and to give laboratory courses on this subject to medical students of 2d, 3d, and 4th-year classes at the Stanford and Columbia Universities. It has been a pleasant experience to find the medical student eager for the opportunity to obtain this knowledge and, under the present increased requirements for preliminary training at our best schools, fully capable of assimilating it. It is not a good plan to attempt too extensively to simplify material that, in its close analysis, presents complex phenomena and intricate reasoning. For this reason no attempt has been made to write an A B C of immunity as a quick road to comprehension. No true insight into any branch of medicine or, for that matter, into any other science, can be attained without a certain amount of labor; however the concepts of this subject are, indeed, relatively simple after the first principles have been mastered, and the writer has attempted, therefore, at the risk of seeming pedantic in places, to treat the subject critically, separating strictly those data which may be accepted as fact from those in which legitimate differences of opinion prevail. As far as was feasible every chapter has been written as a separate unit. This has necessitated occasional repetition, but, it is hoped, will add considerably to clearness of presentation in each individual subject. Theories have been discussed with as little prejudice as the possession of a personal opinion in many cases has permitted.

Download or read book Insect Resistance Management written by David W. Onstad and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2007-12-05 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insects, mites, and ticks have a long history of evolving resistance to pesticides, host-plant resistance, crop rotation, pathogens, and parasitoids. Insect resistance management (IRM) is the scientific approach to preventing or delaying pest evolution and its negative impacts on agriculture, public health, and veterinary issues. This book provides entomologists, pest management practitioners, developers of new technologies, and regulators with information about the many kinds of pest resistance including behavioral and phenological resistance. Abstract concepts and various case studies provide the reader with the biological and economic knowledge required to manage resistance. No other source has the breadth of coverage of this book: genomics to economics, transgenic insecticidal crops, insecticides, and other pest management tactics such as crop rotation. Dr. David W. Onstad and a team of experts illustrate how IRM becomes efficient, effective and socially acceptable when local, social and economic aspects of the system are considered. Historical lessons are highlighted with new perspectives emphasized, so that future research and management may be informed by past experience, but not constrained by it. * First book in 15 years to provide the history and explore aspects of a variety of stakeholders * Contributors include experts on ecological aspects of IRM, molecular and population genetics, economics, and IRM social issues * Biochemistry and molecular genetics of insecticides presented with an mphasis on past 15 years of research including Cry proteins in transgenic crops * Encourages scientists and stakeholders to implement and coordinate strategies based on local social conditions
Download or read book Antimicrobial Resistance in the Environment written by Patricia L. Keen and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-01-24 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines effects of the environmental distribution of antimicrobial resistance genes on human health and the ecosystem Resistance genes are everywhere in nature—in pathogens, commensals, and environmental microorganisms. This contributed work shows how the environment plays a pivotal role in the development of antimicrobial resistance traits in bacteria and the distribution of resistant microbial species, resistant genetic material, and antibiotic compounds. Readers will discover the impact of the distribution in the environment of antimicrobial resistance genes and antibiotics on both the ecosystem and human and animal health. Antimicrobial Resistance in the Environment is divided into four parts: Part I, Sources, including ecological and clinical consequences of antibiotic resistance by environmental microbes Part II, Fate, including strategies to assess and minimize the biological risk of antibiotic resistance in the environment Part III, Antimicrobial Substances and Resistance, including antibiotics in the aquatic environment Part IV, Effects and Risks, including the effect of antimicrobials used for non-human purposes on human health Recognizing the intricate links among overlapping complex systems, this book examines antimicrobial resistance using a comprehensive ecosystem approach. Moreover, the book's multidisciplinary framework applies principles of microbiology, environmental toxicology, and chemistry to assess the human and ecological risks associated with exposure to antibiotics or antibiotic resistance genes that are environmental contaminants. Each chapter has been written by one or more leading researchers in such fields as microbiology, environmental science, ecology, and toxicology. Comprehensive reference lists at the end of all chapters serve as a gateway to the primary research in the field. Presenting and analyzing the latest findings in a field of growing importance to human and environmental health, this text offers readers new insights into the role of the environment in antimicrobial resistance development, the dissemination of antimicrobial resistant genetic elements, and the transport of antibiotic resistance genes and antibiotics.
