Term broad and narrow spectrum are used in antibiotics
The broad spectrum antibiotic can have its effect on many microbial species like penicillin
and a narro spectrum antibiotic have its effect on one or few species
narrow or broad
broad spectrum beetles, yes.
No, Pencillin is a narrow spectrum antibiotic.
broadNope, very narrow actually
A broad-spectrum antibiotic acts against many different kinds of disease-causing bacteria, including both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. A narrow-spectrum antibiotic acts only against specific families of bacteria.
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.
Tetracycline is considered a broad-spectrum antibiotic that can treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
Broad spectrum antibiotics are used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections because they are effective against a variety of bacteria. This is in contrast to narrow spectrum antibiotics, which target specific types of bacteria. The benefit of broad spectrum antibiotics is that they can quickly and effectively treat infections when the specific bacteria causing the infection is unknown or when multiple types of bacteria are involved. This can help prevent the spread of infection and improve patient outcomes.
Narrow-spectrum antibiotics target specific types of bacteria, reducing the risk of resistance development and minimizing harm to beneficial bacteria in the body. Broad-spectrum antibiotics, on the other hand, can kill a wide range of bacteria, including beneficial ones, leading to disruptions in the body's microbiota and potential for resistant strains to emerge. Moreover, narrow-spectrum antibiotics are more focused and efficient in treating infections caused by known bacteria types, whereas broad-spectrum antibiotics may be unnecessary and contribute to antibiotic resistance when not needed.
narrow is narrower than broad because it is.
