Question 1

why is it hard to destroy endospores?

Accepted Answer

Are protected,,,: These are hard to destroy because they are likely in a dormant, protected state.  Many fungi like blastomycosis, histoplasmosis, and cryptosporidia have two phases, a spore phase and a cyst/yeast phase where they are better protected by a cyst wall.  They can be dormant and harder to kill like this.  This is true for many other fungi and other microorganisms also.

Question 7

what is used to  treat staphylococcus in a premature infant?

Accepted Answer

Depends on situation: Most hospitals know what kind of germs are around in patients & what meds will best treat them. This helps create a starting point.Location & severity also factor in. Some meds like vancomycin & gentamycin are very effective but can require extra blood tests & have side effects. Often the dr chooses the big guns early and drops back to a milder agent if lab tests show it will work in that case.

best way to cure methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus?

Accepted Answer

MRSA: This depends upon where the infection is located and its sensitivity to specific antibiotics and the length of time that will be necessary to treat the particular type of infection it is causing.

Question 9

what would be better to treat staphylococcus in a premature infant?

Accepted Answer

Culture sensitivity: If you know the baby has staph, then a culture was done. I assume they also checked to see what antibiotics would work for this particular bacteria. You base treatment on that. Overall, most of time vancomycin is used for staph infections of neonates, but again this is a case by case answer dependent on culture results and other treatments and cares your infant is getting.
