How does the injection of a vaccine made from killed bacteria bring immunity to a human?

The immune system does not recognize the killed bacteria, and cannot recognize that the bacteria are killed, so it begins to produce antibodies for it just as it would if the bacteria were alive.


How do proteins know what to do?

Proteins are produced according to the information encoded in our DNA. They have specific three-dimensional structures that enable them to interact with other molecules in a precise manner. Their functions are dictated by their structure, which allows them to recognize and bind to specific molecules, catalyze biochemical reactions, transmit signals within cells, or provide structural support, among other roles. In summary, proteins know what to do based on their intrinsic properties and the specific molecular interactions they can form.

How do antibiotics affect protein synthesis?

Generally not: antibiotics are essentially antibacterials, that is drugs counteracting bacterial infections like pneumonia, salmonella and the like. The specific mechanism of working of antibiotics depends on the specific drug under examination. Penicillin and its derivatives are bacterial killers: they enters into the bacteria membrane and inhibit basic bacteria life processes. A few of these processes are also related to bacteria proteins syntheses and, under this point of view, these class of antibiotics are also protein synthesis inhibitors. The important think to remember is that they inhibit, among other effects, the synthesis of bacterial proteins, not of the host (generally a human) protein syntheses. Other antibiotics inhibits bacteria multiplication by thwarting bacteria DNA splitting and replication. Also in this case, since many proteins are involved in the DNA replication process, bacteria proteins are involved, but the main antibiotics effect is to inhibit DNA replication.


Serological testing is based on the fact that antibodies react specifically with an anigen all bacteria have the same antigens or the human body makes antibodies against bacteria?

AnswerThe human body makes specific antibodies to specific antigens (ex. proteins on a bacterial membrane) that it encounters. Bacteria do not all have the same antigens.* antibodies react specifically with an antigen


How bacteria can become harmful to microorganisms?

Bacteria compete with other bacteria and microorganisms by secreting toxins and antibiotic proteins.
