"... One of Klebsiella pneumonia isolates containing 2 integrones and was resistant to 8 antibiotics. Analysis of the nucleotide sequences of some integrones revealed a complex history involving the insertion of transposons and homologous recombination between transposons. "

What does all this mean? I'm not sure, unfortunately, too much information in this timely, important book came into my brain as figures shrouded in smoke, visible yet not clearly defined, that takes time and effort to blow smoke to meet face to face with another beyond recognition. Most of my density can be accused of non-science background of the English major, and some may be attributed to the complexity of the subject itself. The authors set the early resistance to antibiotics is an emerging crisis that must be addressed immediately, right, and everywhere, to avoid future disasters and regression of health in the days before antibiotics. Their goal is widespread criticism of their message and hope that changes will be made to physicians, patients, governments and pharmaceutical companies. Drilica and Pearl argue that for those solid experience in biology, "Resistance to antibiotics" will be quickly read. For the reader, lay people like me, some chapters difficult to navigate glossary of terms are included to help one through the turbulent waters. I hope that the next edition will include a more extensive vocabulary, because some terms that confused me was not in the list. This book is of interest to everyone, but especially for those directly associated with antibiotics, as sisters, those medical field, patients, and even farmers, as many tons of antibiotics used in animals to humans. Head deal mainly with the biology of pathogens, chemistry and mathematics formulas containing Greek letters mostly beyond the scope of the Potato Head. Chapter 6 (movement of resistance genes among microorganisms) and section 8 (Supervision) slow motion blurs to me. On the other hand, in the last few chapters, which detail the seriousness of the situation, what causes it and what can be done about it crystal clear. Even I have long been aware of the damage by antibiotics, many dangers of feeding antibiotics to animals for growth and maintenance treatment with danger, and dangers of excessive abuse and disinfectants and antibiotics ingredients in everything from strattera cost hand soap keyboard. I am pleased to see mention of unnecessary redundant triclosan that washing hands with soap and biocides studs not more efficient that using plain water and soap. In fact, using agents such as triclosan, in fact, counterproductive. I like planning, organization and urgent message of this book. It would be a great reference book for students and useful for improving paramedicals. This is not a book that will entertain jokes and stories. It is designed to inform and educate, and performs this task perfectly. .
