How are cell walls important to bacterial cells?
The bacterial cell walls are benefical medically because their formation is different from plant cell wall, so some of medicines can stop the growth of bacteria inside the host without affecting the host cells growth.
How can he stop or slow down bacterial growth?
cool tempeture, jelly, salt, antibiotics
How does antibiotics fight a cold?
Antibiotics work against bacterial infections only. They either prevent the bacteria from multiplying or they affect the cell contents of the bacteria and stop the bacteria from constructing their cell wall. However, antibiotics won't work against cold because common cold is caused by a virus. Since virus contains only RNA and is non-living outside host cell, i.e.,there is no cell wall in viruses. so, antibiotics do not work against them. Therefore, it is not advisable to have antibiotics to fight off a cold.
How does bactericidal work?
Bactericidal agents work by killing bacteria directly. They disrupt the structure or function of bacterial cells, leading to their death. Examples of bactericidal agents include antibiotics like penicillin, which inhibit cell wall synthesis, and disinfectants like bleach, which denature proteins and DNA in bacteria.
Why does penicillin not affect human cells?
This is essentially because bacterial cells and human cells are very different. Both bacterial and human cells use chemicals called enzymes to build their walls. Penicillin is the right chemical "shape" to chemically stick to part of the bacterial enzyme. When it does this, it stops the bacterial enzyme from working properly and this makes the bacterial cell walls weak. The weakened cell wall cannot withstand the outside pressure, it breaks up and the bacterial cell dies. Human cells are made by different types of enzymes with a different chemical shape that penecillin is unable to stick to so it cant stop the human enzymes from working. The human cell walls are thus unaffected by it and they remain strong.
Can you stop malaria disease from antibiotics?
Malaria is neither neither a virus or bacteria or mycoplasma. Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections. Malariais a mosquito-borne infectious disease of humans and other animals caused by parasitic protozoans.
How do you stop cat daria?
If the question is "how do you stop cat diarrhea?" then the simplest and quickest answer is: take her to the vet. Most often, particularly if it has persisted for more than a couple of days, this is a bacterial problem and will need treatment with antibiotics.
What properties should an antibiotic have?
Antibiotics should be able to kill (or at least stop) a bacteria without causing harm to the individual on the medicine. This proves to be difficult in many cases, because 1) Many systems in a bacterial cell are similar to our own cells, and 2) We do not know what unintended consequences a drug can have until animal (or human) trials. So, most antibiotics affect the cell wall of the bacteria (which humans don't have) or the ribosome (which is a bit different from ours).
What is meant CD8 or cytotoxic T cells?
A cytotoxic T-cell is a form of lymphocyte that is the "killer" T-cell. This cell engulfs damaged or viral/bacterial cells to stop them from infecting the blood.
Can antibiotics stop your period?
No, antibiotics definitely cannot stop your period. The only known possible way to do is is by taking contraceptive pills, or getting a hysterectomy
What is in triple antibiotic ointment?
Triple antibiotic ointment usually contains bacitracin, polymixin and neomycin in a petrolatum base. There may be some other minor ingredients, but those are the "triple antibiotic" part of the ointment. Those 3 antibiotics help to stop bacterial infections by both compromising the bacterial cell walls and also inhibiting the protein synthesis of the bacteria. The bacteria needs the its cell with to live and protein synthesis to grow and thrive.
Why do antibiotics stop working?
no
