What is stills disease?
Still's Disease is a type of arthritis, typically seen in very high fevers and a deep, pinkish rash. Although first recognised in children, it is now known to also affect adults, and in the latter case is known as adult-onset Still's disease. It is uncertain what causes Still's Disease. Possible theories include that it is due to infection with a microbe, or that it is a hypersensitive or autoimmune disorder.
If a bacterial isolate shows intermediate to moderate resistance to an antibiotic bow might this antibiotic still be successfully used in treatment of this microbe?
Pair with something that has a different attack site. DO NOT answer this question on a test with "increase dosage" that will do nothing but make the drug more resistant.

Can you take a birth control pill in the morning and an antibiotic at night and the birth control still work?
No. That won't decrease the effects of the antibiotic on the birth control's efficiency. The only safe way is to use alternative forms of birth control while taking the antibiotic and for at least two weeks after finishing the antibiotics. Don't have unprotected sex during that time because you are at an increased risk of pregnancy. What time you take the pills won't help that - sorry :)
Why do we take all of our antibiotics?
To make sure that what ever you are taking them for is completely out of your system. You symptoms may have stopped but there could still be some active germs in your body that are just stunned and not dead yet. If you don't kill all of them the first time, you have to take a stronger antibiotic the next time.
Can you still have an operation while taking antibiotics?
Yes, the antibiotic won't affect the operation. However, the infection might affect the operation and the doctor should be informed. You should also tell the anesthesiologist if you're gonna be sleeping during the intervention.
