How does the misuse of antibiotics affect the evolution of disease-causing bacteria?
The antibiotics will kill some bacteria but not all and the ones that are resistant to the antibiotic will survive and reproduce passing on their resistance.
One of the major influences in the development of so called 'super bugs' is the use of low level antibiotics as livestock growth promoters. This practice has been banned in Europe and Scandinavia but is still permitted in American farming due to the influence of the farming lobby. A microbiology professor I spoke to described this as a dangerously trivial use of antibiotics that could seriously threaten the effectiveness of modern medicine.

How does reaction time affect homeostasis?
Reaction time does not directly affect homeostasis, which is the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment. However, a faster reaction time can help the body respond more quickly to external stimuli and maintain homeostasis by quickly adapting to changes in the environment.

Antibiotics kill all bacteria, even the "good" ones that help you digest your food. Once your microbial flora are killed off, you get the side effects of the antibiotics, such as fungal infections and diarrhea. Also, remember that continuous use of antibiotics will breed bacteria that are resistant, so you shouldn't just keep taking antibiotics forever.

What type of bacteria is in antibiotics coccus bacillus or spirillum?
Antibiotics can target various types of bacteria, which are generally classified into shapes such as cocci (spherical), bacilli (rod-shaped), and spirilla (spiral-shaped). The type of bacteria that antibiotics can affect depends on the specific antibiotic and its mechanism of action. For example, penicillin is effective against many cocci, while tetracycline can target a wide range of bacterial shapes, including bacilli and cocci. Therefore, antibiotics can act on all three types, depending on the bacteria they are designed to combat.
How does antibiotics fight a cold?
Antibiotics work against bacterial infections only. They either prevent the bacteria from multiplying or they affect the cell contents of the bacteria and stop the bacteria from constructing their cell wall. However, antibiotics won't work against cold because common cold is caused by a virus. Since virus contains only RNA and is non-living outside host cell, i.e.,there is no cell wall in viruses. so, antibiotics do not work against them. Therefore, it is not advisable to have antibiotics to fight off a cold.
