Surgeon General David Satcher said he worried that if people started taking antibiotics "just in case" that they could do themselves more harm than good, encouraging the growth of bacterial strains that are resistant to the drugs.
The bacterial infection that killed a Brooklyn middle school student, panicked many parents and sent school officials in many states into a frenzy of cleaning and disinfecting is only the latest manifestation of a very dangerous problem: the development of bacterial strains that are resistant to many antibiotics.
In 2011, there were several prominent recalls involving bacterial strains that are resistant to antibiotics, including more than 60 million pounds of ground beef contaminated with salmonella Typhimurium and about 36 million pounds of ground turkey spoiled with salmonella Heidelberg.
But overuse of antibiotics in farm animals is also thought to be stimulating the emergence of resistant bacterial strains that can infect humans or pass their resistance to other germs that infect humans.
Solid-phase assays are proper ways to screen and isolate the potential bacterial strains that express arylsulfatases.
The increasing number of bacterial strains that are resistant to available pharmaceutical compounds is a vital issue for public health.
Analyzes to identify the bacterial strains that were selected by investigation of their enzymatic abilities were also developed, allowing their phylogenetic characterization at genus level.
The rapid emergence of bacterial strains that are resistant to current antibiotics requires the development of novel types of antimicrobial compounds.
In order to be able to design bacterial strains that are better suited for industrial alginate production, defining limiting factors for alginate biosynthesis is of vital importance.
A number of soil bacterial strains that can aerobically degrade γ-HCH have been isolated from geographically distant locations (Lal et al. [2010]; Ito et al. [2007]; Lal et al. [2006]; Mohn et al. [2006]; Phillips et al. [2005]).
Flavin-free and NAD(P H-dependent azoreductases were P H-dependentolazoreductasesacterized from alkaliphilic and neutrophilic bacterial strains that are different from flavin-containing azoreductases (Misal et al. 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015).
