Is Tetracycline gram positive or gram negative?
Tetracycline is resistant to gram negative bacteria also look here: http://books.google.com/books?id=gACeB8XCnpgC&pg=PA187&lpg=PA187&dq=tetracycline+gram+negative&source=bl&ots=5Mel7M91hj&sig=7jT1wNUd3KyGdKeeFBl4DLJ61c8&hl=en&ei=xpMBS8q6I9yIsAap6pyaDA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=10&ved=0CC8Q6AEwCQ#v=onepage&q=tetracycline%20gram%20negative&f=false
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.
What is a substance that can be obtained from bacteria or fungi and can be used as a drug to fight pathogenic bacteria?
The answer to this question would be: Antibiotic
What can bacteria do that viruses cannot?
Bacteria can attack and kill cells. White blood cells can kill bacteria.
What effect would the presence of tetracycline in the body have on penicillin therapy?
The presence of tetracycline in the body will greatly inhibit the effectiveness of the penicillin. Most antibiotics fall into two groups: bacteriostatic, and bacteriocidal. Penicillin is bactericidal, and tetracycline is bacteristatic. Bactericidals kills the bacterium whereas bacteristatics stop the bacterium from growing, but it is still alive, so once the antibiotic is taken away the bacteria will start growing again. Penicillin requires that the bacterium continue to grow in order to kill the bacterium. Because penicillin stops to the cell wall from growing, but the bacteria continues to grow causing it to erupt out of the cell, killing it. Since the tetracycline effectively keeps the bacterium from growing, giving the bodies own immune system the opportunity to kill it, the penicillin will be rendered somewhat useless and therefore these two therapies should not be combined. You should always tell your doctor, and your pharmacist about any and all medications you are taking, as they can point out problems like this easily.
Does Tetracycline kill gram positive or gram negative bacteria?
Tetracycline kills both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. The mode of action to which Tetracycline works to kill bacteria is that it inhibits protein synthesis which works against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria.
Tetracycline is what kind of bacteria?
Tetracycline is not a type of bacteria, but rather a broad-spectrum polyketide antibiotic produced by the bacteria Actinobacteria Streptomyces, indicated for use against many bacterial infections.
Tetracycline is used in genetic engineerin experiments as a way to?
Produce stronger strains of bacteria

What are two three types of medicines that fight pathogens?
There are multiple "drugs" (not medicine) that kill pathogens. They are known as antibiotics. The most common is from the Menicillin family. Normally the most prescribed is penicillin that was discovered by accident during microbiology experiments. Antibiotics kill bacteria in the body helping it to fight infections. They kill all bacteria and can kill healthy bacteria that the body needs. They cannot kill viruses which are another form of pathogen.

Does aspirin kill bacteria?
No , aspirin does not kill Bacteria .
What is a substance that can be obtained from bacteria or fungi and can be used as a drug to fight pathogenic bacteria?
The answer to this question would be: Antibiotic
Why is tetracycline bacteriostatic?
Tetracycline is considered bacteriostatic because it inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, preventing the attachment of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex. This halts the growth and reproduction of bacteria without directly killing them, allowing the host's immune system to eliminate the infection. Tetracycline's action is reversible, meaning that once the drug is removed, bacterial growth may resume if the bacteria are not eliminated by the immune response.
What can bacteria do that viruses cannot?
Bacteria can attack and kill cells. White blood cells can kill bacteria.
Why would a man be given doxycycline hyclate after a circumcision?
Doxycycline Hyclate is used for:Doxycycline Hyclate is a tetracycline antibiotic. It slows the growth of bacteria. Slowing the bacteria's growth allows the body's immune system to destroy bacteria.
