What type of scientist studies how bacteria are affected by antibiotics?

A microbiologist or medical scientist would study how bacteria are affected by antibiotics. They can investigate how bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics and explore new ways to combat antibiotic resistance.


Is there bacteria in antibiotics?

Most Bacteria require a rigid cell wall to survive. Antibiotics are chemicals that either breakdown, remove, or prevent the reconstruction of this cell wall, exposing the bacterium to its environment therefore killing it. The Antibacterial used in humans are always chemical based although the sources for them vary. (Penicillin based antibiotics come for a fungus named Penicillin) The source leaves behind impurities that can cause allergic reactions (hence why being allergic to Penicillin is a big deal). I am not aware of any antibiotics that are cultivated from bacteria, but if they exist, no living bacteria would be allowed in a sample before it was shipped. It may however still contain trace impurities from it source.


What would happen if glycolsis did not happen in a cell?

If glycolysis could not happen in a cell, the cell would not produce ATP molecules.


What would happen if all of the ribosomes in your cells dissappeared?

Without ribosomes, protein synthesis would come to a halt, disrupting all cellular functions that rely on proteins. This would lead to severe consequences such as cell death and eventually organ failure, as proteins are crucial for various processes such as structural support, enzyme function, and signaling within the cell.


What is a Micro-culture and sensitivity test?

A culture and sensitivity test is a laboratory method used to identify the presence of microorganisms like bacteria or fungi in a sample (such as blood, urine, or wound fluid) and determine which antibiotics or antifungal medications would be most effective in treating an infection. This test helps healthcare providers select the most appropriate treatment and avoid the misuse of antibiotics.
