Yeast is not a bacterium, but you can kill some of them with some antibiotics. Antibiotics that are effective against yeast are usually called antifungals.
You can get it from that, yes. Antibiotics kill all the bacteria incl the good ones.
Bacteria are treated with antibiotics and viruses are treated with antiviral medications.
Antibiotics kill bacteria including the normal flora in your intestines and other places (including vagina) This can make conditions right for opportunistic infections, including candida which is responsible for most vaginal yeast infections
Yes; antibiotics kill both the harmful and the good bacteria in the body. Since the candida which causes yeast infection naturally occurs it can occasionally grow back faster than the good bacteria which would normally keep it from spreading if that good bacteria is being killed off by antibiotics. Even antibacterial soaps can lead to yeast infection.
antibiotics are useful against bacteria because they help to kill off the nasty bacteria or they can also stop the bacteria from reproducing - so the illness doesn't get worse. this then gives your body time to make antibodies which will eventually distroy the bacteria. after this, you won't get the disease again because you are immune to it.
Yes. It is very common to get yeast infections while taking antibiotics. While these specific medicines are great at doing their job killing bacteria in other parts of your body, they can cause problems in other parts. The "good bacteria" in the vagina- bacteria that helps keep the natural yeast levels in your body regulated can be destroyed while taking antibiotics, which allows the yeast to then multiply and cause yeast infections.
Yes, antibiotics can kill intestinal bacteria, but they can also disrupt the balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut. This can lead to side effects such as diarrhea or increased risk of infections. It's important to use antibiotics only when prescribed by a healthcare professional.
No, in fact, some antibiotics can potentially cause a yeast infection. Yeast infections are caused by yeast and not bacteria. Azithromycin is an antibiotic that acts on bacteria. BV or bacterial vaginosis is like a yeast infection, and it is treated with an antibiotic, but a different one.
Yes
Yeast is a yeast,or protozoa.
Yes, some antibiotics are produced naturally by bacteria to inhibit or kill other bacteria. This phenomenon is part of a competitive strategy among microorganisms for resources and space. For example, the antibiotic penicillin is derived from the mold Penicillium, which itself is a type of fungus, but many antibiotics like streptomycin are produced by soil bacteria such as Streptomyces. These naturally occurring antibiotics have been harnessed for medical use to treat bacterial infections in humans and animals.
Yes, chlorine can effectively kill yeast.
