What are the 5 ways in which bacteria can be killed?
antibiotics, and vaccine shots
How do antibiotics fight bacterial infections?
The prime function of the antibiotic is to kill the bacteria. Antibiotics work in two ways. It either kills the bacteria or it prevents it. Bacteria usually multiply in the body and they have single cell. Antibiotics does not attack the cell in the body, it only attacks the virus or bacteria and destroys it. An antibiotic has the capability of changing glucose into energy. It also forms a wall to prevent the virus from getting in. Different antibiotics have different method of working depending on the bacteria. Antibiotics specifically aims and attacks the bacteria. Hence the patient is always safe. Antibiotics also avoid the bacteria from multiplying. Antibiotics are safe to humans and animals but they do have side effects at times on some people. It is always advisable to consult your doctor before taking any kind of antibiotics.
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.
How do bacteria help humans?
It help us in many different ways like they digest our food they give us witamin K they find the bad bacteria
List four ways in which bacteria are helpful to people?

What are the two general ways that bacteria causes disease?
The two general ways that bacteria cause disease ...... First is the body immunity as it decrease the bacteria easily cause disease. Second is the favorable environment for the bacterial growth.
Give several ways in which the development of antibiotics-resistant pathogen can be slowed or prevented?
Give fewer antibiotics to humans and animals. Ensure that when antibiotics are given, they are used in sufficiently high dosages and for long enough to kill as many bacteria as possible.
List 4 ways in which bacteria are helpful to people?
1.Bacteria play the role of converting milk into curd. 2. They are the antibiotics which we use(eg. penicilin) 3.They decompose the dead animals.
What type of medicine kills bacteria but not viruses?
The medicine which kills only bacteria are called bacteriocins.Bacteriocins are proteinaceous toxins produced by bacteria to inhibit the growth of similar or closely related bacterial strain(s). They are typically considered to be narrow spectrum antibiotics, though this has been debated. They are phenomenologically analogous to yeast and paramecium killing factors, and are structurally, functionally, and ecologically diverse. Bacteriocins were first discovered by A. Gratia in 1925 He was involved in the process of searching for ways to kill bacteria, which also resulted in the development of antibiotics and the discovery of bacteriophage, all within a span of a few years. He called his first discovery a colicine because it killed E. coli.
Why should penicillin never be used to treat viral diseases?
Some infections are caused by germs called bacteria. These bacterial infections respond to antibiotics-if the right one is used. Virus are germs that do not respond to antibiotics. Antibiotics work in many different ways to destroy bacteria. But viruses are usually to small and work inside cells therefore antiotics don't work.
How do broad-spectrum antibiotics work?
The Broad Spectrum Antibiotics -are any of a variety of substances, usually obtained from microorganisms, that inhibit the growth of or destroy certain other microorganisms.The great number of diverse antibiotics currently available can be classified in different ways, e.g., by their chemical structure, their microbial origin, or their mode of action.They are also frequently designated by their effective range. Tetracycline is the most widely used broad-spectrum antibiotics, are effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as against rickettsia (any of a group of parasitic bacteria that live in the tissues of ticks, mites, and other arthropods, and cause disease when transmitted to man and other animals) and psittacosis-causing organisms. Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) is another broad spectrum antibiotic, effective in the treatment of mild infections of the urinary tract and sinuses. The medium-spectrum antibiotics bacitracin, the Erythromycin, penicillin, and the Cephalosporins (any of a group of broad-spectrum antibiotics obtained from fungi of the genus Cephalosporium) are effective primarily against Gram-positive bacteria, although the streptomycin group is effective against some Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Polymixin are narrow-spectrum antibiotics effective against only a few species of bacteria.
Does antibiotics kill bacteria?
they get attack by white blood cells. then they outnumbered the white blood cells. then antibiotics finished then off. they go in and destroy the bacteria as it is a gun. thank u for reading!
