How is antibiotics an example of biotechnology?
antibiotics are classical example of the biotechnology because using the biotech tools it has been possible to culture the microbes on a very large scale, in turn resulting in a large scale production of antibiotics. fermentation technology is one of the most important aspect of biotechnology. Moreover the scientists have been working on different microbial strains to improve the production of antibiotics and to bring down the cost production. They also aim at making the antibodies microbe specific and with less side effects to human. All this requires the use of different biotech tools and theories.

Which agents can cause injury to the bacterial plasma membrane?
There are several types of antibiotics that cause damage to the plasma membrane of bacterial cells. These antibiotics injure the the plasma membrane and cause it to die (lysis of the cell). After the membrane has been damaged or destroyed, the bacteria's contents/nurtients escape and the poisons of the antibiotic are allowed to enter the cell and kill it. Antibiotics have selective toxicity so that they can target specific microbes without damaging the person taking the drug.

Antibiotics shouldn't affect your ability to swim. However, the medical condition for which you've been prescribed antibiotics might require you to limit some activities. You will have been prescribed antibiotics by a medical practitioner. Ring the practitioner or their office and ask whether you need to avoid or be careful about some activities. Be clear about the kind of activities you are contemplating. For example, are you intending to swim competitively, or in training, or just to take a dip in a pool or the ocean, to splash around?

If your 8-month-old baby has been diagnosed with a viral infection and given penicillin can this be passed on to other children in the meantime?
My answer is a question: why has your doctor provided antibiotics for a viral infection. Antibiotics do not fight viruses. I agree, antibiotics do not affect viruses, so the answer is yes, the virus can be passed on to others. *Many times doctors will prescribe antibiotics to prevent secondary infections. For example, if a child were dx'd with viral pneumonia it is probable antibiotics will be prescribed to prevent a secondary bacterial infections such as bacterial pneumonia.

Can you give your dog the same medicines you take?
Many of the medications that people take are also prescribed for our pets, some of which are over-the-counter, and some are by vet prescription only. Antibiotics, antihistamines, analgesics (pain meds), antiemitics (anti-nausea meds), anti-diarrhea meds, sedatives, and insulin (for diabetes) are just a few of the meds that people take that are also prescribed for dogs, and other animals, as well. But always consult with your veterinarian before giving your dog any med that has not already been prescribed by a vet, whether over-the-counter, or not.
