When bacteria dies does it feel pain?

No. Pain is merely a signal sent to the brain and the brain registers the pain. Bacteria lacks a brain, therefore can feel no pain.


Why does penicillin not work on all bacteria?

Penicillin comes from an antibiotic made by one microbe that acts only against certain others. Some microbes are just resistant toward the antibiotic and another will have to be used. At times not enough or a dose that is too weak will prevent the antibiotic from working. Some antibiotics will work only on Gram negative or Gram positive bacteria. Some are broad spectrum and will work on both.It just is that penicillin resistant bacteria are not affected by penicillin. These have mutated and evolved to resist penicillin. These are often called "super bugs".

How can the overuse of antibiotics lead to antibiotic resistance in bacteria?


What is the result of Antibiotic resistance in bacteria?

Using antibiotics when ineffective or unnecessary enables the mutation and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains, since the bacteria will get small and/or a short duration of doses of the medicine, too short to kill the bacteria, but able to make them get used to the "poison" and no longer killed by it. That is why you are told by medical professionals that you should always take all antibiotics prescribed even when you start feeling better, because it takes the full amount of medicine to be sure the bacteria have been killed. You are also told not to skip doses for the same reason. Do not pressure your physician to prescribe antibiotics for a cold. Antibiotics are not a direct treatment of viruses that cause colds and flu, they have no affect on any viruses. They are only prescribed with viral illness if there has been a secondary bacterial pneumonia or other bacterial infection develop. If you take antibiotics when unnecessary, you also contribute to the production of more antibiotic-resistant bacteria. It is coincidental when people say that they know that the antibiotics they took for a cold or flu virus made them feel better. It is a matter of time, not medicine. Often people do not seek physician exam until they have had a cold for 5-7 days...and then within 3 days of starting the antibiotics, they begin to feel better and attribute it to the antibiotics. But it is not due to the medicine, it is due to the time it took your body to rid the virus, which is in 7 to 10 days from the start of symptoms. Just wait for at least 10 days to give your body a chance to heal your virus before pressuring for unneeded antibiotics. Antibiotics are not innocuous. They have toxicities and side effects. This means that antibiotics not only do no good in a viral infection, they can actually harm the patient. This is at odds with a fundamental precept of medicine: "First, do no harm."

Why do bacteria and viruses make us feel ill?

Viruses often create toxins which cause symptoms. Even in the absence of toxins, the immune system in the body flares up to fight the invaders, and that causes a lot of the symptoms. One particularly nasty thing that viruses do is to take over healthy cells. They enter the cells and reprogram the DNA to produce more virus cells.
