How effective is hormone therapy?
Hormone therapy is an effective way of reducing the negative effects of testosterone loss in aging males. Hormone therapy has also been shown to improve the treatment of prostate cancer.
What are temperate phages?
A phage that can enter into lysogeny with its host. A phage that can become a prophage.
When a phage attaches to a bacterium what does the phage inject and what stays attached to the cell?
The part that remains outside is called the capsid or protein coat.
What is the difference between a virulent phage and a temperate phage?
In virology, temperate refers to the life cycle some phages are able to perform. Atemperate phage can integrate its genome into its host bacterium's chromosome, becoming a lysogen known as a prophage. A temperate phage is also able to undergo lytic life cycles, where the prophage is expressed, replicates the phage genome and produces phage progeny and the progeny phage leave the bacterium. The virulent phages have only lytic lifecycles and thus infection results in the host cell's death (due to lytic cell destruction-the phage replicates itself and then bursts the cell, releasing many copies).
What is a harmless bacteriophage?
First I'll answer what a bacteriophage is. A bacteriophage is a type of virus that infects a bacterium. These phages can be either virulent or temperate. Virulent phages are capable of infecting and even killing the bacterium it has infected. Temperate phages usually do not cause harm. Its DNA is incorporated into the bacterium's DNA creating what is called a prophage. I don't really know what you are looking for when it comes to "harmless". A harmless phage is one that either only infects a specific bacteria and not the cells of say a human. This is called phage therapy. It is used for bacterial infections in human. The phages kill the bacteria but doesn't infect the human cells. It used to be big in the former Soviet Union but has kind of fell off. I do believe that it is starting to pick up momentum again however. The second thing i guess a harmless phage would mean is the temperate phage that does not harm the bacteria it has infected. If this is what you are looking for, google temperate phage or prophage. You should be able to find the info you need/.
What are some alternative methods to treat an infection in your body?
Phage therapy it is used as a alternative therapy to treat infections that have failed to respond to antibiotic therapy.Phage are effective agains superbugs such us MRSA or VRSA.Yhey have showed to be effective again P. auruginose.Phages are virus that infects bacteria.They are very specific and kills bacteria after injection of their genome into the host.
Which is effective Dance therapy or music therapy?
Both are effective. It depends upon the needs of the client. Either therapist can do an assessment to determine which therapy would be most effective for a particular client.
What does a phage inject when it attaches to a bacterium?
Dna and phage body
What is the need for phage titration?
PHAGE TRTRATION IS DONE SO AS TO FIND THE AMOUNT OF PHAGE PARTICLES PRESENT IN THE STOCK PHAGE TRTRATION IS DONE SO AS TO FIND THE AMOUNT OF PHAGE PARTICLES PRESENT IN THE STOCK
What risk is involved in electroconvulsive therapy?
Electroconvulsive therapy is safe and effective.
A virus that reproduces in a bacterium is called?
phage
What is another term for a lysogenic phage?
temperate phage
Is Family therapy effective?
Family therapy is only effective if everyone involved wants help and wants to make the situation better. If everyone is willing, therapy can be very helpful.

When phage attaches to a bacteria the phage injects what?
DNA single
What is temperate phage superinfection immunity?
c. Repression of the phage genome - A phage coded protein, called a repressor, is made which binds to a particular site on the phage DNA, called the operator, and shuts off transcription of most phage genes EXCEPT the repressor gene. The result is a stable repressed phage genome which is integrated into the host chromosome. Each temperate phage will only repress its own DNA and not that from other phage, so that repression is very specific (immunity to superinfection with the same phage).Reference: http://pathmicro.med.sc.edu/mayer/phage.htm
Is narrative therapy effective?
does narrative therapy only uses few councelling techniques
