Antimicrobial drug use and its implicationsBhoj Raj Singh
There is no place on the earth surface where potentially dangerous drug resistant bacteria have not reached. They have infiltrated even into wilderness of virgin and barren islands including the Arctic region. After discovery of antimicrobial agents in the first half of 20th century, clinicians felt relieved as these wonder drugs substantially reduced the threat of infectious diseases. Over the years, antimicrobials have saved lives, eased the suffering of millions of people. And have contributed to the major gains in life expectancy (WHO 2000, 2005). However, these wonder drugs have started to loose ground rapidly. With each application of antibiotic to kill bacteria a new micro environment is created where the sensitive microbes get killed but the resistant organisms start to flourish. New selection pressure each time leads to rapid evolution in bacteria. As a result, now almost all important infection causing bacteria are armoured to survive in antibiotic loaded environment with much deadlier infective power.
Description of the major classes of antimicrobial drug, resistant mechanisms developed by bacteria to combat the action of antimicrobials, and the control measures needed to limit this horizontal gene transfer.

Role of Nonfermenting Gram-Negative Bacilli Responsible for Respiratory Tract...Premier Publishers
The majority of nonfermenting gram-negative bacilli are responsible for respiratory tract infections. The aims of this study are to identify the nonfermenting gram-negative bacilli species in respiratory tract infections, to describe their antibiotic resistance and to describe the factors associated with these bacteria. It is a prospective study of 54 respiratory samples for a period of six months from October 2019 to March 2020 in the laboratory of the University Hospital of Befelatanana Antananarivo. Among the 54 respiratory samples, the microbiological results showed 12 (22.2%) cases of nonfermenting gram-negative bacilli. These bacilli were represented by 7 (58.3%) cases of Acinetobacter baumannii, 4 (33.3%) cases of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 1 (8.3%) case of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. Concerning the associated factors, subjects under 40 years (24%) (p=0.77; NS), men (30.8%) (p=0.03) and subjects hospitalized in intensive care units (40.7%) (p=0.003) were the most affected by the nonfermenting gram-negative bacilli. Regarding antibiotic resistance, it varies from 71.4% to 100% for Acinetobacter baumannii and 0% to 100% for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolate had a broad spectrum ß-lactamase but was sensitive to the other antibiotics. Nonfermenting gram-negative bacilli are responsible for severe nosocomial pneumonia and the majorities are multi-resistant bacteria.
Structure-Activity Relationship Study of Synthetic Variants Derived from the ...CrimsonpublishersCJMI
Antimicrobial peptides are omnipresent in nature and act as the first line of defence of the host against infectious agents. A synthetic antimicrobial peptide derived from the N-terminus of human lactoferrin hLF(1-11) (GRRRRSVQWCA), displays antibacterial as well as antifungal activity in vitro and in vivo. In order to elucidate the mechanism of antimicrobial action of hLF(1-11), we have synthesised several peptides analogues derived from hLF(1- 11) to test their activity against various fungal and bacterial strains. In this way, a general trend on the importance of the order and position of amino acid residues for biological activity against various organisms could be drawn.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

11. DISCUSSION
AUTHOR WHAT DID HE SAY YES OR NO
Rasmussen LC, etal.
The emergence of bacterial resistance and the scarce arsenal of
antimicrobials available have led to an urgent need to design alter- native
strategies to combat infections caused by MDR pathogens. One approach as
a potential novel therapy against resistant pathogens is the use of
antisense molecules such as PNAs, BNAs and PMOs, which have shown
promising results and could, in time, become a new medical weapon
against MDR bacteria
Is fulfilled
Good L, etal.
Reducing the colistin dosage would be an excellent way to improve its use-
fulness. In this study, we tested the synergistic activity of colistin in
combination with anti-lpxB pPNA. The outer membrane of the bac- teria is
the first line of defence against PNA penetration
Is fulfilled
Hansen AM , etal.
Given the significant problem of MDR A. baumannii and the potential
benefits of pPNAs, we think that greater effort and attention should be
paid to the development of these new antibacterial agents. In recent
years, studies have investigated oligomers that target essential bacterial
genes conjugated to carrier peptides for delivery.
Is fulfilled
12. CONCLUSIONS
The LpxB gene is related to the
survival of Acinetobacter
baumannii, and that when using
an anti-lpxB pPNA, the gene will
not show an expression
It can be concluded that
the anti-lpxB pPNA had a
better antimicrobial effect
when combined with
colistin, since a synergy was
observed between both
