What is meant by the term superinfection?
Superinfection refers to a secondary infection that occurs in a person who is already infected with a primary infection, often caused by a different microorganism than the initial infection. This can happen when the normal or protective microflora in the body is disturbed, allowing the new infection to take hold. Treating a superinfection may require different medications than those used for the original infection.

What is temperate phage superinfection immunity?
c. Repression of the phage genome - A phage coded protein, called a repressor, is made which binds to a particular site on the phage DNA, called the operator, and shuts off transcription of most phage genes EXCEPT the repressor gene. The result is a stable repressed phage genome which is integrated into the host chromosome. Each temperate phage will only repress its own DNA and not that from other phage, so that repression is very specific (immunity to superinfection with the same phage).Reference: http://pathmicro.med.sc.edu/mayer/phage.htm

What is the superinfection which is caused by tetracycline?
First, semantics--neither Tetracycline nor any other antibiotic will cause a superinfection. However, tetracycline can cause something called "antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis" (aka C. dif colitis) which occurs when a bacteria called clostridium difficile (aka C. dif) which normally only exists in small amounts or not at all in the intestines of healthy individuals, proliferates to large numbers in the colon. This can happen when someone takes a widen spectrum antibiotic (like tetracycline) which can kill off many of the common kinds of bacteria that normally live in the colon. The absence of the common/healthy bacteria in the colon allows C. dif. to grow to large numbers in the colon and cause pseudomembranous colitis, which is called such because a look inside the colon (via colonoscopy) of someone with the disease reveals "psuedomembranes" or patches along the wall of the colon. Hope that helps, Diggidy Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudomembranous_colitis and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_difficile
