Difference between eukaryotic DNA replication and bacterial replication?
The difference between Eukaryotic DNA and bacterial genome replication is the eukaryotic DNA is mostly linear and has multiple sites of replication. They both are bidirectional.
Which prokaryotic or eukaryotic is a bacterial cell?
Bacteria are prokaryotes.
What is inhibitor mean?
Inhibitor may refer to a molecule or a protein or any substance that inhibits a process or a particular other molecules (mostly proteins). Tetracycline can inhibit the protein synthesisin bacteria. Thus we are taking antibiotics as an inhibitor to get cured of bacterial infection.
What are used to fight bacterial infections?
Antibiotics
What are the drugs to treat bacterial disease?
Antibiotics
Does tetracycline have analgesic properties?
TETRACYCLINE is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections; and in many cases, the doctor may prescribe Tetracycline for people with problem acne. Tetracycline does NOT have any analgesic (pain killer) properties. An important thing to remember about antibiotics is to finish the ENTIRE prescription, even if you feel better. Ideally, no one should have leftover antibiotics in their medicine cabinet. If you have "some leftover", flush them. Intermitent taking of antibiotics is VERY damaging to your immune system over time.
What does doxycycline hyc treat?
Its used to treat a number of infections such as acene
Can you use tetracycline for kidney stones?
No. Tetracycline is for bacterial infections. See a doctor about the kidney stones.
Name 10 antibiotics and diseases they cure?
10 antibiotics and the diseases they treat are: 1. Ampicillin - Treats bacterial infections such as Gonorrhea, E.coli, Salmonella, etc. 2. Doxycycline - Treats bacterial infections such as Penumonia, other respiratory infections, Lyme Disease, Acne, etc. 3. Clindamycin - Treats bacterial infections such as infections of the lungs, skin, blood, female reproductive organs, etc. 4. Ceftriaxone (Rocephin) - Treats bacterial infections such as Meningitis. 5. Tetracycline - Treats bacterial infections such as Acne, Urinary Tract Infections, STDs, etc. 6. Azithromycin - Treats bacterial infections such as Bronchitis, Pneumonia, STDs, etc. 7. Cephalexin - Treats bacterial infections such as Pneumonia; Urinary Tract, Bone, Skin or Ear infections. 8. Erythromycin - Treats bacterial infections such as Bronchitis, Diphtheria, Pertussis, etc. 9. Minocycline - Treats bacterial infections such as Bronchitis, Acne, STDs, etc. 10. Trimethoprim/sulfamethozazole - Combination antibiotics that are commonly used to treat bacterial infections such as Urinary Tract Infections, Bronchitis, and types of Pneumonia.
Why can antibiotics that selectively target bacterial ribosomes cause side effects for patients?
It has to do with the difference in composition of ribosomes in the eukaryotic cells versus the prokaryotic cell.
How do you use eukaryotic in a sentence?
Many non-bacterial cells are eukaryotic.
Why do protein synthesis inhibitor a.k.a antibiotics affect bacteria only but not human cells?
most of the antibiotics kill or inactivate bacteria by inhibitting the protein synthesis... protein synthesis consists of 'transcription' and 'translation'.. the translation process requiers mRNA and ribosomes.Human(eukaryotic) ribosome is different from bacterial(prokaryotic) ribosome... Antibiotics inhibit the protein synthesis by altering the ribosomal constitution.Since human ribosomes are different from bacterial ribosome,the substances which are harmful to bacterial ribosome doesn't harm human ribosomes.. Thus human cells are immune to antibiotics..
Illness not affected by antibiotics?
Viruses run their course and antibiotics are not prescribed for them. Antibiotics work against bacterial illnesses. So, if you have a cold (virus), but get pneumonia (bacterial) you can take antibiotics to get better.
Drug that can kill bacteria?
