What else can I help you with?
Is dorsiflexion and plantar flexion synergistic actions?
No, No No NO They are antagonistic
Are oxytetracycline and penicillin from the same family?
No. Penicillin comes originally from the penicillium mold (mould). The tetracyclines all come from the streptomyces mold (mould). Oxytetracycline is related to streptomycin. Allergy to it probably means allergy to streptomycin, but not to penicillin. And vice-versa.
Are the trapezium and sternocleidomastoid synergistic or antagonistic?
The trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles are synergistic muscles, meaning they work together to perform certain movements. They both contribute to movements involving the head, neck, and shoulder region, such as turning the head or elevating the shoulders.
What were the popular drugs of the 1940's?
Penicillin,Streptomycin,DPT and Pertussis Vacccine
Which of these antimicrobial agents has the fewest side effects - a. Penicillin b. Streptomycin c. Chloramphenicol d. Tetracycline e. Erythromycin?
a.) penicillin
How do the antibiotic actions of penicillin and streptomycin differ?
Penicillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic while streptomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic. Beta-lactams generally act by inhibiting transpeptidation of peptidoglycan synthesis in cell wall synthesis. Aminoglycosides interact with the 30s ribosomal subunit and inhibits protein synthesis in the cell.
Why penicillin and streptomycin is added to culture medium?
Penicillin and streptomycin are added to culture mediums primarily to prevent bacterial contamination during the growth of desired microorganisms or cell cultures. Penicillin targets gram-positive bacteria by inhibiting cell wall synthesis, while streptomycin interferes with bacterial protein synthesis, effectively suppressing the growth of a broad range of gram-negative and some gram-positive bacteria. This combination helps ensure a sterile environment, allowing for the successful cultivation of the intended organisms without interference from contaminants.
What is penstrep?
Penstrep is a combination antibiotic solution of Penicillin and Streptomycin commonly used in cell culture to prevent bacterial contamination. It helps to inhibit the growth of a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, ensuring the purity of cell culture experiments.
What molds produce substances that kill bacteria?
Penicillium and Streptomyces molds produce substances known as penicillin and streptomycin, respectively, which are able to kill bacteria. These substances are used as antibiotics to treat bacterial infections in humans and animals.
What was the first antibiotic made from mold?
The most common type of mold antibiotics is made from is penicillin.
What is the purpose of antibiotics penicillin or streptomycin on PDA plates?
PDA is mainly used to Isolate Fungi but it is not selective media so Bacterial Colonies also come which makes mix culture. To avoid bacteria antibiotics like Penicillin or Steptomycin are added
What is the difference between penicilin and streptomycin?
Peniciilin is derived from Penicillium chrysogenum and is active against Gram-positive bacteria. It connects peptidoglycan strands by irreversibly interacting with transpeptidase and prohibits the last cell wall synthesis. Streptomycin-sulfate is derived from Streptomyces griseusan and is an aminoglycoside antibiotic. It is active against Gram-negative bacteria and Mycobacteria and inhibits initiation of the protein biosynthesis. Penicillin and Streptomycin are often used together.
