Some bacteria strains may acquire resistance to antibiotics and or the ability to cause disease by acquiring what?
Some bacteria strains may acquire resistance to antibiotics and/or cause a new disease by gaining spores from other bacteria.
What is streptim?
Substances elaborated by specific strains of bacteria that are lethal against other strains of the same or related species. They are protein or lipopolysaccharide-protein complexes used in taxonomy studies of bacteria.
How many bacteria strains or substrains have been recorded in NCBI taxonomic classification?
Bacteria Taxonomy total # 184,921
What is col plasmid?
A plasmid (free bit of DNA) in bacteria that produces colicin to kill other strains of bacteria.
Tetracycline is used in genetic engineerin experiments as a way to?
Produce stronger strains of bacteria
Is cellulitis caused by a virus?
No, it is caused by normal skin bacteria bacteria entering a wound. It is usually one of the milder strains of Streptococcus or Staphylococcus.
Why has there been a large increase of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria?
Overuse of traditional antibiotics has caused a selection of those bacteria that are resistant to the antibiotic.
Do hormones in meat affect us physically?
I'm not sure if you could specify? I just learned about antibiotics in biology this year (I'm a sophomore) and I can tell you something though: do not give antibiotics to your animals to promote growth. It is sorta like taking antibiotics when you're sick. They help you, but can be deadly. It goes the same for animals too. Antibiotics can be deadly because there are such things that may exist in our bodies called MUTANT BACTERIA STRAINS. These strains will not respond to antibiotics when the other bacteria die off. MUTANT BACTERIA STRAINS will stay alive. and worse, multiply. And then you have a whole swarm of mutant bacteria strains in your body that can't be taken away with antibiotics. So when you give certain livestock antibiotics to promote growth, you're risking possession of mutant bacteria in your body when you eat their meat. The animal may have mutant bacteria strains already and you don't know it. So when you eat the animal, you're risking getting these bacteria strains. Sorry if that didn't help, but you may have learned something vital instead.
What is bycobacteria?
There is no listing for bycobacteria. Mycobacterium are groups of bacteria that are responsible for conditions such as leprosy and tuberculosis. Mycobacterium are generally considered gram positive strains of bacteria.
Why do several different number codes correspond to a given species such as E. coli?
different strains of the bacteria
How can some strains of bacteria like anthrax survive in harsh unfavorable conditions?
they do survive when the environment is wet
Why bacteria is grow in labortary if its ubiquitous in nature?
Because growing bacteria in a laboratory is done under strict conditions, producing pure strains free from contaminants.
