Antibiotics are effective against bacterial infections as they target specific bacterial structures or functions, inhibiting their growth or killing them. However, antibiotics have no effect on viral infections because viruses lack the cellular machinery that antibiotics target. Using antibiotics for viral infections can contribute to antibiotic resistance and is not recommended. Therefore, it's crucial to differentiate between bacterial and viral infections to ensure appropriate treatment.
Viruses ALL ignore antibiotics, Bacterial infections vary in their response depending on the sensitivity of the bacteria to the specific antibiotic.

Disease caused by viruses cannot be cured by antibiotics. Antibiotics ONLY work on bacteria.
Antibiotics are completely ineffective against viruses. Many people are sick and insist the doctor prescribe 'something' and insist on getting an antibiotic, even when they have a virus, they are participating in the creation of the antibiotic resistant 'super bugs'. Even when properly prescribed, if we stop taking the full course of antibiotic prematurely because we are feeling better, we are participating in the creation of these 'super bugs.' If you don't take the full course, the antibiotic may have wiped out many of the culprits but not enough of them. Stopping the antibiotic prematurely allows the remaining pathogens to continue on and some of those will mutate - and some of those mutated cells can have the ability to survive the antibiotic, allowing the pathogen to adapt and survive...creating a 'super bug.'. So....Don't take them if what you have is a virus. If properly prescribed an antibiotic, take the full course.
If your meth has something that's not normally supposed to be in it. Or you just react badly to it. Yes, you can. It can't be good for your nasal passages. Also, your dental health will suffer. It is particularly bad for your immune system so you can get MRSA, among other bacterial infections.
Yes. Antibiotics are mainly put in baby animal feed. Baby animals like chicks and calves have medicated feed, but you can choose un-medicated feed if you like. Ionophores are a form of antibiotic that are added to the feed of feedlot cattle. They act to reduce the incidence of bloat and to increase feed efficiency by changing microflora dynamics. Doing so gets the rumen microbe community to produce less methane--a gas wasted via eructation--and more propionate, which can be more readily used by the animal. Ionophores are also used to reduce incidences of coccidiosis in cattle. Antibiotics, in sub-therapeutic levels, are also given to dairy cattle, pigs and poultry to promote growth and feed efficiency. Note these feed additives are not given at the same levels, and are very often different from the antibiotics needed to be administered to animals with bacterial infections.
It is one of the routes. Bacterial cells are primitive cells (prokaryotic) that differ significantly from humans' (eukaryotic) cells. Antibiotics aim at structures or processes that differ from our own. Some antibiotics react directly with microbial DNA (i.e. metronidazole disrupts DNA's helical structure, thereby inhibiting bacterial nucleic acid synthesis and leading to bacterial cell death), some antibiotics act indirectly (quinolones bind to DNA gyrases, proteins that are required for the processing of DNA and RNA), and others aim at different parts of microbe body (bacterial cell wall - penicillins, cephalosporins, cell membrane - polymixins) or at different processes (bacterial protein synthesis - aminoglycosides, macrolides, and tetracyclines).
When antibiotics kill M. leprae, antigens (the proteins on the surface of the organism that initiate the body's immune system response) are released from the dying bacteria.
Klaricid contains a chemical called clarithromycin, which is a medicine used in bacterial infections. While alcohol would not necessarily react with the clarithromycin, it is not recommended because of the adverse effects of alcohol on an already weak body.
Filter paper with high porosity and proper particle retention is used for impregnating antibiotics. These papers typically have low ash content and are chemically inert to ensure the antibiotics do not react with the paper during impregnation. Additionally, the filter paper should be strong enough to hold the antibiotics without tearing or disintegrating.
Yes and no. The active ingredient amoxicillin is the same, but the inactive ingredients may be different depending upon the formulation. Please note that you should never give human medications to your pet without a veterinarian's prescription - pets can react very differently to human medications and can die as a result of accidental overdose.
