What bacteria is called superbug infection?
diptheria There are an extremely large amount of diseases caused by bacteria, but fortunately bacterial diseases are easily cured with antibiotics, whereas viral diseases cannot be cured (only the symptoms can be treated) and must run there coarse.
How might individual bacterium become resistant to an antibiotic?
it inherited the allele that made it resistant
Why is it important for a physician to know the exact identity of the bacteria involved in an infection?
It is important for a physician to know the exact identity of the bacteria in an infection because they need to know which antibiotic to give. If the patient is given the wrong medication, then the bacteria may become immune or the antibiotics might kill the 'good' bacteria.
How has the species of bacteria become resistant?
In a large population of bacteria, there may be some cells that are not affected by the antibiotic. These cells survive and reproduce, producing even more bacteria that are not affected by the antibiotic.
How could you explain the increase of infection in hospitals by antibiotic-resistance bacterial?
Bacteria become resitant to antibiotics by evolution .
What is mercer infection cure?
You are probably referring to methicillin resistant Staph aureus (MRSA) infection - an infection that is caused by the bacteria, Staph aureus, that has become resistant to most antibiotics. Yes I am but I asked what is it to define it mercer dease
Do antibiotics cause bacteria to become resistant?
Yes, over use of antibiotics can cause bacteria to become resistant.
What is mersa infection?
MERSA and MRSA are the same bacteria, Staph Aureous. When then become resistant to a certain antibiotic called methicillin they then get the designation of methicillin resistant Staph Aureous. The difficulty in treating this super bug is that is is resistant to many, but not all antibiotics.MSRA is a contagious disease that is a strain of bacterial staph infection.
What are some problems that arise when a bacteria become resistant to an antibiotic?
The antibiotic resistance may be transferred to a virulent pathogenic bacterium. Then we will not be able to cure the infection.
When bacteria develop adaptations diseases become easier or harder to treat?
When bacteria become resistant by adapting to their environment they become harder to treat.
When bacteria develop adaptations diseases become blank to treat harder or easier?
When bacteria become resistant by adapting to their environment they become harder to treat.
What bacteria is called superbug infection?
diptheria There are an extremely large amount of diseases caused by bacteria, but fortunately bacterial diseases are easily cured with antibiotics, whereas viral diseases cannot be cured (only the symptoms can be treated) and must run there coarse.
What could be the reason if there is reports of bacterial susceptibility but the patient is not responding?
antibiotic was not taken properly or the bacteria have become resistant. might also be because of lab mistakes or infection from a different site. :)
How might individual bacterium become resistant to an antibiotic?
it inherited the allele that made it resistant
Is that just a myth that one should complete the course of antibiotics?
No. Obviously not. If a patient does not complete a course of antibiotics, they run the risk of selecting for antibiotic resistant bacteria in their body. If these bacteria become infectious, stronger (more expensive) antibiotics will be required to treat the secondary infection.
are Antibiotics are useful for limiting the growth of most pathogenic bacteria?
no, many bacteria have become resistant due to improper use of antibiotics.
When a patient's immune system becomes over reactive to a drug this is an example of?
In medicine, superinfection is an infection following a previous infection, especially when caused by microorganisms that are resistant or have become resistant to the antibiotics used earlier.
