broad-spectrum

“We are frequently resorting to broad-spectrum antibiotics like amoxicillin or ciprofloxacin, which are not suitable for all infections. This practice is contributing to increased bacterial resistance, a highly dangerous trend in a setting where infections are rampant and resources are already stretched thin.”

Rasmussen Reports used to be a fairly creditable and credible political polling organization, good enough to be included among the pollsters relied on by services such as FiveThirtyEight to give a broad-spectrum gauge of voter sentiment in the run-up to state and federal elections.

The research team also remains hopeful about the potential use of this broad-spectrum antiviral medicine against other RNA viruses.

Among them is the common, broad-spectrum drug streptomycin.

One is David Putrino at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, who with colleagues there and at Yale will study two broad-spectrum antivirals that don’t require rapid viral replication to work: Truvada and Selzentry, both approved for HIV.
