Bacterial infections gonorrhea

The natural and semi ynthetic penicillins are used in tire treatment of bacterial infections due to susceptible microorganisms. Fbnicillins may be used to treat infections such as urinary tract infections, septicemia, meningitis, intra-abdominal infection, gonorrhea, syphilis, pneumonia, and other respiratory infections. Examples of infectious microorganisms (bacteria) that may respond to penicillin therapy include gonococci, staphylococci,...

Ceftin is a second-generation broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections resulting in Lyme s disease, bronchitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis, otitis, skin infections, gonorrhea, and urinary tract infections, and it is considered the antibiotic of choice for otitis media. Ceftin functions by inhibiting bacteria cell wall biosynthesis. 

Malaria, pneumonia, bone infections, gonorrhea, gangrene, tuberculosis, and typhoid fever are bacterial diseases. Polio, AIDS, and Rubella (Cerman measles) are viral diseases. 

An example of an incipient Tragedy of the Commons is the gradual failure of antibiotics to control bacterial infections. We all want access to antibiotics when we need them. Some countries keep control over their prescription, but in other countries people may buy antibiotics over the counter in any pharmacy. Also, some doctors have historically been too wilfing to prescribe antibiotics to insistent patients with non-bacterial infections. The net effect is that antibiotic-resistant strains of many common infections have developed, and there is now serious concern amongst many medical experts that it is only a matter of time before there is a pandemic of untreatable strains of bacterial infections such as gonorrhea or tuberculosis.

The role of glycolipids is still unclear. Certain glycolipid molecules may bind bacterial toxins, as well as bacterial cells, to animal cell membranes. For example, the toxins that cause cholera, tetanus, and botulism bind to glycolipid cell membrane receptors. Bacteria that have been shown to bind to glycolipid receptors include E. coli, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the causative agents of urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and gonorrhea, respectively. 

Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that interferes with microbial DNA synthesis. It is indicated in the treatment of infections of the lower respiratory tract, skin and skin structure, bones and joints, urinary tract gonorrhea, chancroid, and infectious diarrhea caused by susceptible strains of specific organisms typhoid fever uncomplicated cervical and urethral gonorrhea women with acute uncomplicated cystitis acute sinusitis nosocomial pneumonia chronic bacterial prostatitis complicated intra-abdominal infections reduction of incidence or progression of inhalational anthrax following exposure to aerosolized Bacillus anthracis. Cipro IV Used for empirical therapy for febrile neutropenic patients. 

Minocycline, a tetracycline, is indicated in syphilis or gonorrhea in patients sensitive to penicillin. In addition, it may be used in uncomplicated urethral, endocervical, or rectal infection, and in uncomplicated gonococcal urethritis in men (see also Figure 96). Tetracyclines enter bacterial cells by both passive diffusion and active transport, and then accumulate intraceUularly. This does not occur in mammalian cells. The tetracyclines bind to the 308 subunit of the bacterial ribosome in such a way that the binding of the aminoacyl-transfer RNA to the acceptor site on the messenger RNA ribosome complex is blocked (see Figure 96). 

Ofloxacin interferes with microbial DNA synthesis. It is indicated in the treatment of acnte bacterial exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, commnnity acquired pneumonia, uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections, acute uncomplicated urethral and cervical gonorrhea, nongonococcal urethritis, cervicitis, acute pelvic inflammatory disease, uncomplicated cystitis, complicated urinary tract infections (UTI), and prostatitis cdiV eAhy Escherichia coli. Ophthalmic use for treatment of conjunctivitis and corneal ulcer infections caused by susceptible organisms otic use for treatment of otitis externa, chronic suppurative otitis media in patients with perforated tympanic membranes, and acute otitis media in pediatric patients with tympanostomy tubes.

Norfloxacin 243 is one of oral broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibacterial agents used in the treatment of certain infections caused by bacteria, such as gonorrhea, prostate, and urinary tract infections. The mechanism of action of 243 involves inhibition of the A subunit of bacterial DNA gyrase, an enzyme which is essential for DNA replication. ... 

Indications Bone and joint infections, bacterial bronchitis, endocervical and urethral chlamydia, bacterial gastroenteritis, endocervical and urethral gonorrhea, intra-abdominal infections, empiric therapy for febrife neutropenia, pelvic inflammatory disease, bacterial pneumonia, bacterial prostatitis, acute sinusitis, skin and soft tissue infections, typhoid fever, bacterial urinary tract infections, chancroid, meningococcal carriers, bacterial septicemia, prophylaxis in prevention of bacterial urinary tract infections Common drug examples ... 

Traditional use A decoction of the herb is used in Chinese medicine to alleviate pain and swelling, as an anti-inflammatory and diuretic, and for gonorrhea, kidney and liver diseases, bacterial dysentery, syphilitic arthritis, and palsies of infectious origin. In Central Asia this herb is used as a choleretic, an antipyretic for fevers associated with hepatitis, nephritis, and cystitis, and as a treatment for intestinal ulcers and bloody diarrhea. The plant is also used to treat intestinal infections (Khalmatov 1964 Chen et al. 2003).
