Is bacterium a broad spectrum antibiotic?
There is no antibiotic called as bacterium. So there is no question of it's being called as broad spectrum or narrow spectrum antibiotic. Bacterium is a term related to bacteria, a type of micro-organism.
How is antibiotic resistance observed in bacteria in light of Darwinian selection theory?
A random mutation causes one bacterium to become resistant to an antibiotic. Then all the others are killed when the antibiotic is introduced to the environment. The mutated bacterium is free to reproduce and soon many members of that species are resistant to that antibiotic.
What are some problems that arise when a bacteria become resistant to an antibiotic?
The antibiotic resistance may be transferred to a virulent pathogenic bacterium. Then we will not be able to cure the infection.
Is streptomycin a bad bacteria?
Streptomycin is not a bacteria; it is an antibiotic derived from the bacterium Streptomyces griseus. Streptomycin is used to treat bacterial infections, particularly tuberculosis and certain types of bacterial meningitis.
How would you isolate an antibiotic-resistant bacterium?
you can use low concentration of first line antibiotic to the media where will growth antibiotica.perobably most of bacteria will die but some of them will survive.This bacteria are resistant to antibiotics.Its important to inoculate a large amount of bacteria.
What is the difference between bacteria and bacterium?
bacteria is plural and bacterium is singular
How might individual bacterium become resistant to an antibiotic?
Individual bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics through mechanisms such as mutations that prevent the antibiotic from binding to its target, acquiring resistance genes through horizontal gene transfer, or creating biofilms that protect them from the antibiotic's effects. These mechanisms allow the bacteria to survive and reproduce in the presence of the antibiotic, leading to the development of resistant bacterial populations.
Is bacterium plural?
bacteria is, unless you were to use the word "The" in front (the bacteria are) Answer The bacterium is ...., the bacteria are..... Bacteria is the plural form, bacterium is the singluar.
What is antibiotic resistant bacterium is?
superbug.
What is the plural of baterium?
The plural of bacterium is bacteria.
Is bacteria the same as bacterium?
Yes, bacteria is the plural form and bacterium is the singular form.
What is the most similar to antibiotic resistance a bacterium that is affected by medicine or a bacterium that has mutated?
Antibiotic resistance is most similar to a bacterium that has mutated, as both involve genetic changes that enable bacteria to survive despite the presence of antibiotics. Mutations can lead to alterations in bacterial cell structures or metabolic pathways that make them less susceptible to the effects of medication. In contrast, a bacterium affected by medicine may still be vulnerable to treatment; it does not necessarily possess the genetic traits that confer resistance. Therefore, mutation is a key factor in the development of antibiotic resistance.
