These are the bactericidal lamps with xenon.
Is streptomycin bacteriostatic or bacteriocidal?
it is bactericidal b/c it binds 30s ribosomal subunit &inhibit protein synthesis
What was the main mechanism by which methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus gained ascendancy over methicillin?
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) gained ascendancy over methicillin-sensitive strains mainly due to the acquisition of the mecA gene, which encodes for a modified penicillin-binding protein that has low affinity for β-lactam antibiotics. This modification allows MRSA to survive and replicate in the presence of methicillin and other β-lactam antibiotics, leading to its dominance in healthcare settings.
How can bateriostatic and bactericidal disinfectants be distinguished?
Bacteriostatic disinfectants inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria without killing them, while bactericidal disinfectants kill bacteria. Bacteriostatic disinfectants may not eliminate all bacteria, but they can prevent their proliferation. On the other hand, bactericidal disinfectants are more effective at completely destroying bacteria.
Which glands secretions contain bactericidal substances?
The sebaceous glands secrete sebum, which contains bactericidal substances like fatty acids that help protect the skin from harmful bacteria.

Is chlorhexidine bactericide or bacteriostatic agent?

What barrier for bactericidal secretions?

Where did staphyolococcus begin?
the shorter word or term for staphyolococcus is (mrsa) In the late fifties the antibiotic methicillin was introduced to combat the penicillin resistant strains of the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. Within a couple of years methicilin resistant strains had emerged just about everywhere methicillin was being used. The methicillin resistant varieties were possibly a direct response to methicillin (my favoured theory) or a chance hybridisation with a distantly related bacteria that already contained the methicillin resistant gene. Nobody knows for sure.
What is bactericidal action in pharmacology?
Those drugs particularly Chemotherapeutic/Antibiotic that are bactericidal (Killing of bacteria) in nature and cause destruction of bacteria. Penicillin and cephelosporins are commonest example of Bactericidal drugs
Do Plant fluids have bactericidal properties?
Fluids derived from some plants have bactericidal properties. Some of the best known ones are lemon juice and onion juice.
