What effect would the presence of tetracycline in the body have on penicillin therapy?
The presence of tetracycline in the body will greatly inhibit the effectiveness of the penicillin. Most antibiotics fall into two groups: bacteriostatic, and bacteriocidal. Penicillin is bactericidal, and tetracycline is bacteristatic. Bactericidals kills the bacterium whereas bacteristatics stop the bacterium from growing, but it is still alive, so once the antibiotic is taken away the bacteria will start growing again. Penicillin requires that the bacterium continue to grow in order to kill the bacterium. Because penicillin stops to the cell wall from growing, but the bacteria continues to grow causing it to erupt out of the cell, killing it. Since the tetracycline effectively keeps the bacterium from growing, giving the bodies own immune system the opportunity to kill it, the penicillin will be rendered somewhat useless and therefore these two therapies should not be combined. You should always tell your doctor, and your pharmacist about any and all medications you are taking, as they can point out problems like this easily.
Does Tetracycline kill gram positive or gram negative bacteria?
Tetracycline kills both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. The mode of action to which Tetracycline works to kill bacteria is that it inhibits protein synthesis which works against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria.

What is the different between bactericidal and bacteriostatic?
BACTERIOCIDE: The agent which kill bacteria is called bacteriocidal it can be done by heat of any chemical. BACTERIOSTATIC: The agent which inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria but do not necessasarily kill the bacteria.
What are two three types of medicines that fight pathogens?
There are multiple "drugs" (not medicine) that kill pathogens. They are known as antibiotics. The most common is from the Menicillin family. Normally the most prescribed is penicillin that was discovered by accident during microbiology experiments. Antibiotics kill bacteria in the body helping it to fight infections. They kill all bacteria and can kill healthy bacteria that the body needs. They cannot kill viruses which are another form of pathogen.
