Why is Pseudomonas often resistant to antibiotics?
Pseudomonas is often resistant to antibiotics because it has the ability to develop mechanisms that protect it from the effects of these drugs. This resistance can be due to the bacteria's ability to pump out antibiotics, modify their targets, or produce enzymes that break down the antibiotics. Additionally, Pseudomonas can form biofilms, which are protective layers that make it harder for antibiotics to reach and kill the bacteria.
Could you name the three classes of antibiotics?
There are more than three classes of antibiotics which are:AminoglycosidesAnsamycinsCarbacephemCarbapenemsCephalosporinsGlycopeptidesLincosamidesMacrolidesMonobactamsNitrafuransPenicillinsPenicillin combinationsPolypeptidesQuinolonesSulfonamidesTetracyclinesAnti-MycobacterialThere are three new classes of antibiotics being used over the past few years:Cyclic lipopeptidesGlycylcyclinesOxazolidinones
What group of antibiotics would mycoplasma be resistant to?
Mycoplasma lack cell walls. Therefore, any antibiotic that targets the cell wall of bacteria would be ineffective to mycoplasma. Examples are beta-lactam antibiotics such as penicillin. Beta-lactam antibiotics target the synthesis of peptidoglycan, an important component of the bacterial cell wall.
Why antibiotics can be usful in treating bacterial diseases but not in treating viral diseases?
Antibiotics kill the bacteria but not the people by affecting parts of the bacterial system that humans do not share. Viruses use the person's own systems to do most functions and so not have the same or as many targets for the drugs. There are some antiviral drugs but now as many as antibiotics.

What is an agent that destroys bacteria?
An antibiotic is a type of agent that specifically targets and destroys bacteria. Antibiotics work by interfering with the bacteria's ability to grow, replicate, and survive. It is important to use antibiotics only as prescribed by a healthcare professional to ensure effectiveness and prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
What is one major national-level policymaking institution that the sierra club targets?
Environmental Protection Agency
Who are targets major competitors?
Target most directly competes with Wal-Mart, Costco, and Kmart, in that order.
How do chemists use facts to create antibiotics that can destroy a bacterial infection without harming human cells?
Antibiotics attack proteins only found in bacteria. Each one targets a specific area, be it their cell wall, cell membrane, protein synthesis centers, and really any area that differs enough from human cells
What do doctors give people with stomach ulcers today?
Antibiotics. A major contributor to ulcers is the helicobacter pylori bacteria.
