    Infectious disease: TB's revenge. The world is starting to win the war against tuberculosis, but drug-resistant forms pose a new threat. Nature. Jan 3;() doi: /a. Infectious disease: TB's revenge. Phillips L. Comment in Nature. Feb 14;()

    But there are some important differences too. For fungal pathogens, what we're seeing is mostly parallel evolution, where resistance evolves repeatedly in multiple different species that are each under the same, strong selective pressure. But the most obvious solution, to keep coming up with more new compounds, is not the whole answer, she notes. Fisher et al, , Science Susan Watts, Head of Communications Tel: About Rothamsted Research Rothamsted Research is the longest-running agricultural research institute in the world.

    We work from gene to field with a proud history of ground-breaking discoveries, from crop treatment to crop protection, from statistical interpretation to soils management. Also go to the doctor if you are vomiting so much that you can't keep down fluids or if your symptoms last more than 3 days.

    Most infections that cause diarrhea, especially viral infections, will go away without treatment. Taking it easy at home and drinking plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration are the best ways to ride out the illness. If you do become dehydrated, you might need to go to the hospital for intravenous IV fluids to replace those lost to diarrhea, vomiting, and fever.

    If you end up visiting your doctor, you may need to give a stool sample so he or she can find out what type of infection you have. Whether you need medicine will depend on which germ is causing the illness. If you have a parasitic infection, it will probably be treated with antiparasitic medicine to cure the illness. Most GI infections caused by viruses and many bacterial infections do not need treatment.

    But someone with a weakened immune system who gets a bacterial intestinal illness may need to take prescription antibiotics to prevent the infection from spreading throughout the body. You'll feel better if you stay well hydrated, so drink lots of water. In addition to fluid that is lost during bouts of diarrhea, electrolytes sodium and potassium are also lost and need to be replaced because the body cannot function properly without them.

    When you feel ready to eat something more substantial, try soft fruits or vegetables, which also contain potassium. Avoid milk products and fatty, high-fiber, or very sweet foods until the diarrhea eases, and don't drink sports drinks or soft drinks — although they contain electrolytes, their high sugar content can make diarrhea worse.

Antimotility drugs such as loperamide and diphenoxylate reduce the symptoms of diarrhea by slowing transit time in the gut.

    They may be taken to slow the frequency of stools, but not enough to stop bowel movements completely, which delays expulsion of the causative organisms from the intestines. Moctezuma's revenge is a colloquial term for traveler's diarrhea contracted in Mexico. Wilderness diarrhea , also called wilderness-acquired diarrhea WAD or backcountry diarrhea, refers to diarrhea among backpackers, hikers, campers and other outdoor recreationalists in wilderness or backcountry situations, either at home or abroad. Since wilderness campsites seldom provide access to sanitation facilities, the infection risk is similar to that of any developing country.
