How do painkillers kill bacteria?

Painkillers (analgesics) do not kill bacteria or viruses. They reduce the pain by: * reducing swelling and other inflammation * interfering with the transmission of nerve impulses reporting the pain to the brain * interfering with the short term memory and the recollection of pain * reducing the awareness of pain Antibiotics kill bacteria. They contain ingredients that kill these microorganisms outright, weaken them, or affect their ability to grow and multiply until your body's own defenses can kill them.


How does streptomycin kill bacterial cells?

Streptomycin is a protein synthesis inhibitor. It binds to the S12 Protein of the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, interfering with the binding of formyl-methionyl-tRNA to the 30S subunit. This prevents initiation of protein synthesis and leads to death of microbial cells. Humans have structurally different ribosomes from bacteria, thereby allowing the selectivity of this antibiotic for bacteria. However at low concentrations Streptomycin only inhibits growth of the bacteria by inducing prokaryotic ribosomes to misread mRNA. It is an antibiotic that inhibits both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and is a therefore a useful broad spectrum antibiotic

Why doesn't penicillin kill humans?

The penicillin kills bacteria by interfering with repairs to the bacterial cell wall. Human cells don't have a cell wall, and don't use the same enzymes that make the bacteria vulnerable.


Why doesn't penicillin kill fungal disease?

Penicillin kills susceptible bacteria by interfering with the bacterial cell wall. Since fungi don't have a cell wall, penicillin can't eliminate fungal infection.

Why does streptomycin kill the bacteria and not us?

Streptomycin binds to bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit and inhibits protein production by the bacteria. Human beings are are not affected because our ribosomes have a 40S subunit and a 60S subunit, no 30S subunit.


Will freezing a germ kill it?

the answer is yes. this is because the decreasing temperature would cause most of the bacteria cells to die and eventually the bacteria would die.
