Yes atibiotics can harm some bacteria
Bacteria are affected by antibiotics, that is the purpose of them.
They have resistance to the antibiotic.
A microbiologist or medical scientist would study how bacteria are affected by antibiotics. They can investigate how bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics and explore new ways to combat antibiotic resistance.
If a microbe is not affected by antibiotics, it is said to be resistant to the antibiotic.
*A+* micro biologist
No. It is not a bacteria and it is not affected by antibiotics.
If bacteria are susceptible to antibiotics, exposure to antibiotics will lead to the death or weakening of the bacteria.
Antibiotics only work on bacteria.
This term is misleading. The antibiotic "selects" bacteria that are not affected by it. If a person will grow bacteria on a petri dish and add an antibiotic to it, some bacteria may live and grow. This is actually a form of natural selection. The ones that will grow are resistance to the antibiotic. They have some way of not being affected. If a person takes a colony from the plate that has this resistance and grows it on another plate and add the antibiotic, all on the plate will be resistant.
Bacteria
Antibiotics are chemicals that destroy BACTERIA and ony bacteria. Cancer is not caused by bacteria. Therefore antibiotics can not be used to cure cancer.
Bacteria are treated with antibiotics and viruses are treated with antiviral medications.
