What else can I help you with?
Are all bacteria heterotrophs?
no, some bacteria are heterotrophic and some are autotrophic. Most bacteria are heterotrophic though.
How does bactericidal work?
These are agents or compounds that kill or destroy bacteria. Examples include disinfectants, antibiotics, antiseptics etc. Bactericides work in different ways; some may suppress the bacteria's ability to convert glucose into energy that they require to multiply. Some interfere with the formation of the bacteria's cell wall or other cell contents. These effects are typical to penicillin. Some antibiotics only stop the bacteria from multiplying leaving it to our immune system to finish the job of killing it. Other halt the cell division of the bacteria.
Why do antibiotics not work on all bacteria?
because it doesn't want to, i mean would you really want to work on someones bacteria. didn't think so!
Is there a good bacteria?
Yes there are. Some good bacteria that help in the aid of digestion. Note, that there are some bad bacteria, but most are actually good.
What is a word for bacteria?
Bacteria, by definition, is single-celled. Some bacteria, however, contains organelles and some doesn't. Bacteria without organelles is called prokaryotic, whereas bacteria with organelles is eukaryotic.
Do Antibiotics only work on bacteria or virus?
Antibiotics only work on bacteria.
How do antiseptics work to kill bacteria?
Antiseptics work by disrupting the cell membranes of bacteria and interfering with their metabolic processes, leading to their death. They can also denature proteins, which further inhibits bacterial growth and reproduction. Additionally, some antiseptics may disrupt the DNA of bacteria, preventing them from replicating.
Do the newest FDA approved antibiotics for bacterial infections help with pneumonia?
You should only use the antibiotics that are SPECIFIC to the bacteria. If this is a viral pneumonia, antibiotics will not work. Antibiotics only work on bacteria. Antivirals work on viruses and antifungals work on fungi. The thing with antibiotics is that some only work on some bacteria and not on others. A sputum culture should be done to see which microbe is causing the problem and then see which drug will do the job. It is much quicker to do it this way and safer, in the long run, for the patient.

Why do bacteria not like fruit?
Bacteria do like fruit - at least, some bacteria will do very well on some fruit.
Do some bacteria engage in photosynthesis?
Yes, some bacteria engage in photosynthesis.
Why doesn't penicillin work on all bacteria?
Penicillin is effective against bacteria that have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan. Bacteria without this type of cell wall, such as Mycoplasma and some strains of Staphylococcus, are not affected by penicillin. This is because penicillin works by disrupting the formation of the cell wall, leading to the bacteria's death.
How do anti septics work?
they work by restricting or preventing the growth of bacteria.
Are bacteria red?
Yes, Some bacteria are red.
