Answer 1

Garlic , honey, and : Vinegar...There is a book with that title. Homey is a natural antibiotic. Also consult with a homeopath and a chinese medicine practitioner. Many herbs have antibacterial and antiviral properties. There are some great remedies for infections as well.. Example kali bichromicum (homeopathic) is excellent for sinus infections....

Answer 2

Social issue : This becomes a social issue as storing antibiotics may interfere with those really in need for them. The shelf life of the drug becomes an issue as effectiveness of the drug can decline over time.

Answer 3

A very rare event: You are more likely to get hit by lightening that be affected by an outbreak of anthrax. If you are so concerned, vaccine against anthrax may be a better option.

Answer 4

No: This means your child had a previous strep infection and had an immune respone which is a good thing. The elevation does tell us when the infection was active.So rely on what symptoms your child has and ask advice of your doctor. If your child is sick and has a positive throat culture , yes antibiotics are needed.

Answer 5

Probably not: Elevated strep titers such as aso usually mean previous exposure rather than current infection.

Answer 6

Yes!: In fact, i encourage everyone particularly elderly pt who will take an antibiotic to take probiotics since they have a protective role in the gut flora. Lactobacillus an bifidobacter strains are best. Good question!

Answer 7

Antibiotics: There are no real contraindications to taking probiotics with antibiotics. However, the utility of doing so is debatable, since the antibiotics may affect the effectiveness of the bacterial re-population of the GI tract.

Answer 8

Resistance: Potential for resistance, most cases don't require it, and/or side effects when you don't need it.

Answer 9

Antibiotics: The history of large amounts of prescribed antibiotics has led to the emergence of dangerous bacterial strains with antibiotic resistance. More cautious prescribing and fewer antibiotics for non-serious illnesses has started to control this resistance. Furthermore, use of focused, as opposed to broad-spectrum antibiotics has helped to limit (to some extent) the emergence of resistance.

Answer 10

Many reasons: 1) Several diseases we know now, are caused by non-bacterial microbes, therefore antibiotic (abx) are ineffective, 2) Using a lot of abx have led to the development of multidrug-resistant bacteria 3) Very little new abx are being developed due to costs associated to get government approval to use it, 4) We now appreciate that serious infections and side effects can occur with abx use.

Answer 11

Various reasons: Pseudomonas is a very common bacteria which has developed many clever ways of resisting different antibiotics. It can destroy the antibiotics with chemicals, pump the antibiotics out of its cell or become 'invisible' to antibiotics by changing the appearance of the bacteria. Pseudomonas can adapt to antibiotics & change during the course of treatment. Serious infections often require an expert.

Answer 12

Antibiotics: Pseudomonas is a gram negative rod bacteria that lives in soil and water. Although it is true that pseudomonas is resistant to many antibiotics, there are quite a few that, when given iv, are effective against this bacteria. The resistance is due to the mechanism of metabolism that has evolved to "inactivate" less powerful antibiotics and oral antibiotics.
