Is penicillin a bacteria?
Yes, penicillin prevents the formation of new bacterial cell wall. If a bacteria reproduces, new cell wall cannot be produced and the cell lyses and dies. However penicillin has no effect on a quiescent (non-reproducing) bacteria. Therefore penicillin is also called a bacteriostatic agent (prevents growth of bacteria), which means penicillin does stop bacteria from reproducing.
Can cloxacillin be used to treat candidas?
No since it is an antibacterial drug. However it can sometimes CAUSE candida, by altering the body's existing bacterial colonisation or 'flora'
What type of drug is penicillin?
Penicillin is an antibiotic drug that is used to treat bacterial infections. It works by interfering with the growth of bacteria in the body and is effective against a wide range of bacterial strains.
What kind of drug kills bacteria?
The types of drugs that can kill bacteria are called 'antibiotics'.
A situation in which bacteria receive sugar from plants and the plants receive nitrogen from the bacteria is known as?
A drug deal.
What is antibitic?
The term antibiotic means against life. Anti = against and bio= life. So this is a product or a drug that will destroy bacteria( life).
What causes the mutant form of disease-causing bacteria to become predominant?
The forces that affect bacteria population are competition, mutation and selection, just like any other population affected by the theory of evolution. In a large population of bacteria, some individuals will be mutated to have resistance to antibiotic drugs (or any other drug). This is a disadvantage to the individual as long as there is no antibiotic drug in the surroundings. In this case there is mutation but no selection. When an antibiotic drug is given to a patient, selection is being done in the evolutionary aspect of the bacteria. Only the drug-resistant mutants survive, since the selection does not affect them. All the non-mutant bacteria die; the mutants have no competition, and can flourish undisturbed.
How is the presence of antibiotic resistance used as a marker in bacterial transformation?
Antibiotics will kill off all of the bacteria that have not mutated and formed a resistance to the drug. Those that have a resistance to the antibiotics will survive and multiply into many resistant bacterium. This continuously facilitates the production of new kinds of antibiotic resistant bacteria
What medications interact with amoxicillin and flagyl?
Together they act better. Amoxicillin is one of the best antibiotic for aerobic bacteria. Another drug is metronidazole. It act against most of the anaerobic bacteria.
The drug used against intestinal anaerobic bacteria that can also alter normal flora causing antibiotic-associated colitis is?
Clindamycin

A drug that inhibits mitosis such as griseofulvin would be more effective against a. Fungi. b. Gram-positive bacteria c. Mycobacteria d. Wall-less bacteria e. Gram-negative bacteria?
a. Fungi. Griseofulvin is effective against fungi by disrupting their mitotic spindle formation during cell division.
Can fluidity influence by certain drug?
Yes, the fluidity of a certain drug can affect the effectiveness of that particular drug.
What is tinidazole?
Tinidazole is an antibiotic medication used to treat various types of infections caused by certain bacteria or parasites. It is often prescribed for infections in the gastrointestinal system, genital tract, and skin. Tinidazole works by stopping the growth of bacteria and parasites.
What is bacteria resistance?
Bacteria resistance refers to the ability of bacteria to withstand the effects of antibiotics or other antimicrobial drugs, reducing or eliminating their effectiveness in killing the bacteria. This resistance can develop through genetic mutations or acquisition of resistance genes from other bacteria, leading to treatment challenges and increased risk of uncontrolled infections.
What type of drug is penicillin?
Penicillin is an antibiotic drug that is used to treat bacterial infections. It works by interfering with the growth of bacteria in the body and is effective against a wide range of bacterial strains.
