Abstract:

I first met Professor Ōmura, Distinguished Emeritus Professor, at The Kitasato Institute (Kitaken) when I was 28 years old. Since then, he has been my respectful supervisor as well as mentor. Looking back on those memories, I am deeply honored to write about the discovery and development of avermectin.

Antimicrobial Effectiveness

1.7K
The effectiveness of antimicrobial agents depends on various factors influencing their ability to eliminate microbial populations. Larger microbial populations require more time for complete eradication, emphasizing the importance of population size analysis when evaluating antimicrobial efficacy.Microbial resistance to antimicrobial agents varies significantly. Highly resilient microorganisms include endospores, gram-negative bacteria, and non-enveloped viruses, while prions are exceptionally...
