Vaccination against the hepatitis A virus is unnecessary if you?
Vaccination against hepatitis A is unnecessary if you have already had the infection.
What is a vaccine for bacterial meningitis?
There are vaccines available for certain types of bacterial meningitis, particularly caused by Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. Vaccines like MenACWY and PCV13 help protect against these bacteria by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies against them. Vaccination is an effective way to prevent bacterial meningitis and its complications.
Are antifungal drugs effective against bacterial diseases?
No, antifungal drugs are specifically designed to treat fungal infections and are not effective against bacterial diseases. Bacterial infections require antibiotics, which target and kill bacteria. It is important to use the correct type of medication to treat the specific type of infection.
Why could not take an antibiotic for a viral infection?
Antibiotics only work against BACTERIAL infections. A VIRAL infection is not a BACTERIAL infection. A bacteria is a small complex living cell - antibiotics kill bacteria A virus is a simple strand of DNA in a protein coat - antibiotics have no effect on viruses.
Who first used vaccination to protect against infection?
Edward Jenner
What blood cells is the primary line of defense against a bacterial infection?
The primary line of defense against a bacterial infection is neutrophils. Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that help to engulf and destroy bacteria through a process called phagocytosis. They are one of the first responders to infection and play a key role in the body's immune response.
Was bacterial meningitis eradicated?
Definitely not. Though there are vaccinations targeted at some of the causative bacteria, there are still cases of meningitis. Bacterial meningitis is a broad term which encompasses any inflammation of the meninges caused by bacterial invasion. While there are several bacteria which are normally to blame, more bacteria other than just those inoculated against can cause this infection.
You had a bacterial infection got pills from doctor and it got worse what should you do?
The infection can get worse if the antibiotic chosen was ineffective against the particular bacteria you have-- or if it was really a viral infection instead of a bacterial infection. You should make another appointment to see the doctor. He may need to do a culture to identify the particular "bug" you have, or if he's already certain of the type of infection he may simply change the antibiotic.
What is dipthermia?
Diphtheria is a bacterial infection caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae that primarily affects the throat and nose. It can lead to difficulty breathing, heart problems, and in severe cases, death. Vaccination is the main method of prevention against diphtheria.
True or false Vaccination triggers an immune response against the pathogen by simulating an infection?
True
Is Streptomycin effective against gram?
Streptomycin is an antibiotic effective primarily against certain gram-negative bacteria, as well as some gram-positive bacteria. It works by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacterial cells. However, its effectiveness can vary depending on the specific strain and its antibiotic resistance profile. Therefore, susceptibility testing is often necessary to determine its effectiveness against a particular bacterial infection.
The portion of the skin that provides protection against bacterial infection is the?
stratum corneum
