Why might an elderly person be likely to develop cephalosporin-resistant bacteria?
Elderly individuals often have weakened immune systems due to aging, making them more susceptible to infections. They may have a history of frequent antibiotic use, which can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. Additionally, elderly individuals may reside in long-term care facilities where there is a higher prevalence of resistant bacteria.
Which term refers to the ecological niche of many bacteria and fungi in an ecosystem?
decomposer
Which term refers to water that is drinkable without being treated for bacteria mineral deposits and poisonous contaminations?
Distilled water potable A+
What is the differences between zone of inhibition and zone of exhibition?
Zone of inhibition :-It is the area on an agar plate where growth of a control organism is prevented by an antibiotic usually placed on the agar surface. If the test organism is susceptable to the antibiotic, it will not grow where the antibioitic is. Zone of exhibition:-
What is the term that describes bacteria that need air to grow?
OxyphotobacteriaAnoxyphotobacteria is the term that describes bacteria that don't need air to grow
How do antibiotic resistant bacteria come about?
This term is misleading. The antibiotic "selects" bacteria that are not affected by it. If a person will grow bacteria on a petri dish and add an antibiotic to it, some bacteria may live and grow. This is actually a form of natural selection. The ones that will grow are resistance to the antibiotic. They have some way of not being affected. If a person takes a colony from the plate that has this resistance and grows it on another plate and add the antibiotic, all on the plate will be resistant.
What does the term daptomycin mean?
The term 'Daptomycin' refers to a form of antibiotic that is used to treat life threatening infections. It is a compound that naturally occurs in the soil and has been found extremely effective in treating a variety of infections that are caused by multi-resistant bacteria.
What is evolution and can you provide an example to explain the term?
Evolution is the process by which living organisms change and adapt over time through natural selection. An example of evolution is the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria. When exposed to antibiotics, only the bacteria with genetic mutations that make them resistant survive and reproduce, leading to a population of bacteria that is mostly resistant to the antibiotic.

What term means the medication of death bacteria?
antibiotic
What is the Medical term meaning superbug infection?
Antibiotic resistance is a type of drug resistance where a microorganism is able to survive exposure to an antibiotic.
What is the medical term meaning drug that inhibits or kills bacteria?
antibiotic
What would happen if you didn't finish a course of antibiotics?
If you stop taking your antibiotic before you complete the course any surviving bacteria developes an immunity to that antibiotic. You must then take a different, usually stronger antibiotic to kill the infection. Once that happens that particular antibiotic usually will not work for any bacterial infection you may get.
What the supperbug infection called?
The term "superbug" refers to bacteria that are resistant to multiple antibiotics, making them difficult to treat. Examples include MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and CRE (Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae).
Are macroglides gram neg or positive?
they are niether, the term macroglides refers to a class of antibiotic that disrupts protein synthesis in bacteria
What the abuse of antibiotic can do?
The abuse of antibiotics can have two effects. In the long term it can allow pathogens to become resistant over time. In the short term it can harm your body by removing good bacteria from your body which can have severe adverse effects on your health if done for too long.
What polite term refers people who are resistant to change?
Conservative.
