The zones on inhibition for two antibiotic a and b on a sarcina lutea dish measure 17 and 18mm respectively which antibiotic is more effective against sarcina lutea Why?
b is more effective
Clinical implication of resistant?
The antibiotic tested is not likely to be effective in eradicating the infection. *The infectious agents are a strain that have developed (evolved) a natural resistance to a particular antibiotic.
If a petri dish shows a large zone of inhibition what does this say about the antibiotic?
That it is effective, for one thing.
What antibiotic is effective against anthrax?
FDA-approved agents include ciprofloxacin, doxycycline and penicillin
How is gram staining useful to health care workers?
The gram stain will stain a bacterium then a particular antibiotic might be effective against it. If the gram stain will not stain that particular bacterium, then that particular antibiotic will not be effective against it. Thus a gram negative bacterium like TB requires a different antibiotic than a gram positive bacterium. However, if several have formed a film, it may contain many types and it becomes harder to kill them. That may require a broad based antibiotic.
What antibiotic potency means?
how effective it is.
How safe are antibiotic drugs?
depends on which antibiotic you are using. For example, Azithromycin is a relatively safe and effective antibiotic. Where as Vancomycin, is a highly effective antibiotic (covers MRSA) but has a lot of morbidities associated w/ it (hearing loss, kidney malfunction, etc).
What antibiotic is effective against chickenpox?
none, that is a virus
What is Population Resistance?
Population resistance is also known as pesticide resistance. Pesticide resistance describes a pest population's increasing resistance to a pesticide that use to be effective in terminating said pests.
Why are some bacteria resistant to treatment?
Because they inherited or borrowed genes for antibiotic resistance on tiny "microchromosomes" called plasmids. The ancestors of these plasmids had grown for many thousands of bacterial generations in medium level concentrations of antibiotics causing strong selection pressure for effective antibiotic resistance genes to those antibiotics.
What is pesticide resistance.?
Pesticide resistance describes the decreased susceptibility of a pest population to a pesticide that was previously effective at controlling the pest.
What is Antibiotic Sensitivity?
Antibiotic sensitivity is an evaluation of how effective a given antibiotic is at killing the pathogen that grew in culture. When antibiotic resistance is a problem the sensitivity study helps clinicians choose the right medication.
What is effective at treating strep throat but not at treating the flu?
An antibiotic.
The zones on inhibition for two antibiotic a and b on a sarcina lutea dish measure 17 and 18mm respectively which antibiotic is more effective against sarcina lutea Why?
b is more effective
When are antibiotics not effective?
An antibiotic might not work because the symptoms are attributed to a virus rather than a bacterium. Antibiotics do not work against viruses.
Is it OK to take Valacyclovir with an antibiotic?
No. This is an antiviral medication and is not effective against bacteria.
How does simulation demonstrate these?
Antibiotic resistance is the ability of a bacterium or other microorganism to survive and reproduce in the presence of antibiotic doses that were previously thought effective against them.
