Public Lecture by Paul Turner, Elihu Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Microbiology Program Faculty Member, Yale University. Viruses are the tiniest but most numerous inhabitants of Earth. Although notorious for causing deadly epidemics, not all viruses are bad. Many are beneficial to their hosts and several play key roles in maintaining the health of ecosystems. Paul Turner will discuss the “good, bad, and ugly” effects of viruses, from how they invade organisms and wreak havoc in biological systems to how they are used to control pests and develop cancer treatments, among other medical therapies.. Evolution Matters Lecture Series. Series supported by a generous gift from Drs. Herman and Joan Suit. Presented by the Harvard Museum of Natural History in collaboration with the Microbial Sciences Initiative at Harvard University.. About the speaker: Paul Turner’s research interests include virology, evolutionary biology, evolutionary medicine, vector-borne disease, and phage therapy. He uses an interdisciplinary approach, employing techniques from microbiology, population genetics, genomics, molecular biology, and mathematical modeling to study hypotheses in ecology and evolutionary biology. Turner serves on committees for the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and the American Society for Microbiology, and is author of nearly 100 scholarly journal articles, reviews, and book chapters on the ecology and evolution of infectious diseases. He has held many leadership appointments at Yale University, including Chair of the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and, most recently, Dean of Science. He holds a B.A. in Biological Sciences from the University of Rochester, and a Ph.D. in Zoology from Michigan State University.
A woman has become the first person in the U.S. to be infected with a superbug.\r\rThat’s a type of bacteria that can’t be treated with antibiotics, making it potentially deadly.\r\rAl Jazeera’s Caroline Malone reports.\r\rSubscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe\rFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish\rFind us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera\rCheck our website: http://www.aljazeera.com/
Program Overview: Oncology patients are at increased risk of serious infections, particularly infections due to multi-drug resistant organisms (MDROs). Which MDROs are most likely to infect your patient? Which MDRO bacteria are new on the horizon? Do MDROs cause device-related infections such as central line-associated bloodstream infections? What strategies can we implement to lessen the spread? Come to this case-based interactive session to learn more about MDROs and how can we keep oncology patients free from infection, both in the hospital and in the community.. Key Takeaways: 1) Multidrug resistant organisms emerge as a result of antibiotic use and overuse.. 2) Antimicrobials to treat multi drug resistant organisms have more toxicity than those used to treat susceptible organisms.. 3) Great nursing practice is the cornerstone of the prevention of multi drug resistant organisms.
This is the first time Beshear’s administration has laid out detailed guidance for schools and parents on how to proceed with in-person instruction, reopening schools, while COVID-19 infection rates remain a concern..

The CDC is reporting every 15 minutes an American die from a superbug infection. There are now two new superbugs to add to the concern list. Infectious disease expert Dr. Ravina Kullar joins to explain that there are 3 million people in the US alone infected with antibiotic-resistant bugs and we should be very concerned. These bugs are resistant to treatment.. Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDoctors. Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thedoctors.

The latest case, a 2-year-old Connecticut girl, was diagnosed in June after she returned from a trip to the Caribbean, said senior researcher Maroya Spalding Walters, a CDC epidemiologist. The latest case, a 2-year-old Connecticut girl, was diagnosed in June after she returned from a trip to the Caribbean, said senior researcher Maroya Spalding Walters, a CDC epidemiologist. “The girl had an illness that caused diarrhea, which began in mid-June while she was traveling overseas. A fourth U.S. person has been diagnosed with bacteria resistant to a last resort antibiotic, but researchers are expressing relief that so far these superbug precursors.
All of the patients had E. coli with a gene called mcr-1, which makes the bacteria resistant to the antibiotic colistin, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

On Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said another superbug popped up in a 2-year-old girl in Connecticut.
She got sick in June and was found to have a strain of E. coli bacteria with the antibiotic-resistance gene known as mcr-1, making her the fourth human case in the United States identified so far.

One case report involved a 2-month-old infant in Japan (who also had evidence of penicillin-resistant pneumococcus) [4], and the second case report involved 3and 4-month-old infants in the United States, one of whom had extension of the abscess into the mediastinum accompanied by venous thrombosis [5].
Antiviral therapy has reduced themortality to 55%ininfants with disseminated infection and to 15% in infants with encephalitis, and it has increased the proportion of survivors who function normally at 1 year of age (108).

Tuberculosis treatment should be started immediately and the child’s antiretroviral therapy altered as necessary.

The last drug resistant diseases they CREATED were completely vulnerable to plain old TUMERIC. Turmeric almost instantly kills MERSA and all the others. But instead of using turmeric, they prescribe MORE dangerous drugs because there is no money in prescribing turmeric.
There are also superbugs coming across the borders due to people coming from places like China and Bangladesh, with their overcrowding probs. Not surprisingly found most commonly in states/cities of “sanctuary”.
I was going to make a comment but I can see that only it would only fall on deaf ears. The foreigner trolls are out stomping on the US. Poor souls, they don’t realize their existence is probably due to some stupid antibiotic their parents took or administered when they were young. Maybe we should have saved the antibiotic and eliminated the trolls in the beginning. But we couldn’t have known they would be skeptics. Lobotomies for everyone!
Great stupid people, especially Americans, ruined antiobiotics for the entire world. Since the mid-90s, reports said it was a huge problem antibiotics were being prescribed by doctors without due cause. And the US has always been the main culprit in the developed world. Sickening.

Antibiotic resistance is driven far more by our consuming animals because the vast majority of antibiotics are given to farm animals.
200 cases of Mumps at the Texas border recently & a few cases of tuberculosis in Arizona & smallpox in California all since December of 2018.
