The zones on inhibition for two antibiotic a and b on a sarcina lutea dish measure 17 and 18mm respectively which antibiotic is more effective against sarcina lutea Why?
Antibiotic B is more effective against Sarcina lutea, as it produced a larger zone of inhibition (18mm) compared to antibiotic A (17mm). A larger zone of inhibition indicates that antibiotic B has better inhibitory activity against the bacteria, resulting in better efficacy at controlling bacterial growth.
What antibiotic is effective against anthrax?
FDA-approved agents include ciprofloxacin, doxycycline and penicillin
Is tetracycline a broad or narrow spectrum antibiotic?
Tetracycline is considered a broad-spectrum antibiotic that can treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
How does resistance to antibiotics in humans and pesticides in insects exemplify the process of evolution by natural selection?
So, you use antibiotic on bacteria and insecticides on insects while knowing all organisms are variants and some will survive your attacks and reproduce the next generations that will also have the survivability traits. Not quite natural selection, as it is not the environment doing the selecting, but quite effective in causing evolution by selecting the alleles that will survive and reproduce. Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.
What other tests does a woman with mastitis undergo?
Tests can be performed to determine what type of antibiotic would be most effective against that particular bacteria.
What antibiotic potency means?
how effective it is.
How safe are antibiotic drugs?
depends on which antibiotic you are using. For example, Azithromycin is a relatively safe and effective antibiotic. Where as Vancomycin, is a highly effective antibiotic (covers MRSA) but has a lot of morbidities associated w/ it (hearing loss, kidney malfunction, etc).
What antibiotic is effective against chickenpox?
none, that is a virus
Why are some bacteria resistant to treatment?
Because they inherited or borrowed genes for antibiotic resistance on tiny "microchromosomes" called plasmids. The ancestors of these plasmids had grown for many thousands of bacterial generations in medium level concentrations of antibiotics causing strong selection pressure for effective antibiotic resistance genes to those antibiotics.
What is Population Resistance?
Population resistance is also known as pesticide resistance. Pesticide resistance describes a pest population's increasing resistance to a pesticide that use to be effective in terminating said pests.
What is Antibiotic Sensitivity?
Antibiotic sensitivity is an evaluation of how effective a given antibiotic is at killing the pathogen that grew in culture. When antibiotic resistance is a problem the sensitivity study helps clinicians choose the right medication.
What is pesticide resistance.?
Pesticide resistance describes the decreased susceptibility of a pest population to a pesticide that was previously effective at controlling the pest.
What is effective at treating strep throat but not at treating the flu?
An antibiotic.
What is the most effective antibiotic for treating a cat's UTI?
The most effective antibiotic for treating a cat's UTI is usually amoxicillin or cephalexin. It is important to consult a veterinarian for proper diagnosis and prescription.

A larger zone of inhibition indicates that antibiotic B has better inhibitory activity against the bacteria, resulting in better efficacy at controlling bacterial growth.
When are antibiotics not effective?
An antibiotic might not work because the symptoms are attributed to a virus rather than a bacterium. Antibiotics do not work against viruses.
Is it OK to take Valacyclovir with an antibiotic?
No. This is an antiviral medication and is not effective against bacteria.
