Application: Antimicrobial Agents
Antimicrobial agents are essential components in the treatment of various bacterial infections as they help to kill or prevent the growth of microbes such as bacteria, fungi, and protozoans. Prior to the discovery of antimicrobial agents, treatment options for patients with bacterial infections were limited. For many patients, treatment often resulted in the amputation of limbs or even death. Today, treatment options for bacterial infections typically have a more positive prognosis. Due to the various types of infections presented in patients, it is essential to be able to identify the underlying cause of the infection—whether bacterial or viral—before recommending drug treatments. This will help you identify whether or not an antimicrobial agent would be appropriate and which specific agent would target the infection. In this Assignment, you consider the appropriate use of antimicrobial agents for infections.
To prepare:
• Review this week’s media presentation on principles of antimicrobial therapy, as well as Chapter 8 of the Arcangelo and Peterson text.
• Consider the categories of antimicrobial agents.
• Think about differences between viral and bacterial infections.
• Reflect on why proper identification of the infection is key to selecting the proper antimicrobial agent.
To complete:
Write a 2- to 3- page paper that addresses the following:
• Describe the categories of antimicrobial agents.
• Describe differences between viral and bacterial infections.
• Explain why proper identification of viral and bacterial infections is key to selecting the proper antimicrobial agent.
INTRO: What do you believe is the most important social policy issue involving human development today? How would you persuade the government to improve citizen’s lives related to this particular issue? (ie. Healthcare, Education, Environmental problems, etc.)
Part I: Unsuspecting Teratogens
Go to www.ted.com and watch Tyrone Hayes & Penelope Jagessar Chaffer: The Toxic Baby? found at http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/tyrone_hayes_penelope_jagessar_chaffer_the_toxic_baby.html (Run time approx. 17 min.).
After watching the video address the following questions in a developed essay format:
Who should be responsible for protecting the unborn fetus from environmental toxins? Should the government regulate the use of chemical compounds such as Atrazine and BPA or should we keep the government regulation to a minimum and allow individuals to police and regulate exposure to these chemicals? How should the public be educated about the prevalence of these chemicals, the safety of our food source, and the harmful effects of exposure? Many governments subsidize certain agricultural products. In the US, we subsidize corn production. Given that Atrazine is used on corn, is the government then responsible for the harmful effects of the chemicals used to enhance corn production?
Part II: Self-Induced Teratogens
Hidden or misunderstood environmental toxins are one teratogen source. Another occurs when a pregnant female willingly and knowingly ingests harmful substances into her body, teratogens that may indeed endanger the life of her unborn child.
Should women who smoke, drink alcohol, or ingest harmful drugs during pregnancy be prosecuted for child endangerment? Why or why not?
In addition to your textbook, below are some additional helpful resources. Of course, you may research further scholarly resources as you deem appropriate.
