Methylene blue a basic stain is generally used to identify the external morphology of bacteria.
The other stain which is used as differential stain and which can also differentiate the baceteia on the basis of their cell wall is gram stain i.e. Crystal voilet and is counter stained with Saffranine

What is an MIC 90 as a measure of antibiotic activity?

MIC 90 refers to the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) at which 90% of a particular bacterial population is inhibited by an antibiotic. It is a useful measure to determine the effectiveness of an antibiotic against a specific microorganism. MIC values help clinicians select the most appropriate antibiotic therapy for treating infections.


How might a bacteriophage prove to useful?

Bacteriophages can be useful for targeted bacterial infection treatment, known as phage therapy. They can also be used in food safety to kill harmful bacteria, in bacterial detection methods, and as tools for genetic engineering and biotechnology research.


Does penicillin cure footnail fungus?

No. Penicillin is useful for a variety of bacterial infections, but not fungal infections. There are some options for the infection about which you are inquiring. You should ask your physician about treatment options for your condition.


Name two useful fungi and state how are they useful to man?

Penicillium chrysogenum: Used to produce the antibiotic penicillin, which is effective against many bacterial infections. Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Used in baking to ferment dough and produce bread, as well as in brewing to ferment beer and wine.


How might the bacterial cell produced in step 6 be useful?

The bacterial cell produced in step 6 can be useful for various purposes, such as producing insulin for diabetes treatment, enzymes for industrial processes, or proteins for scientific research. By engineering bacteria to express specific genes, we can harness their ability to rapidly multiply and produce desired substances efficiently.

Can you use evalon in vaginal infection?

You can. But there should be a background of reduced estrogen. It is useful in bacterial vaginosis ( where you suffer bad odour) and in recurrent urinary tract infections. But consult your doctor to decide on the condition.


Are antibacterial agents useful in viral infections?

No, antibacterials agents are specifically used to fight bacterial infections and do not effect a viral infection in any way.


Does sinus infection make you tired?

Tonsils will not, in and of themselves, make you tired. After all, tonsils are a source of useful immunologic tissue. However, tonsillitis will usually occur in association with bacterial infection (e.g. strep) and the process of the body needing to combat the infection produces fatigue.


Can anitibiotic be useful for pancreatitis?

Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas. The name itself doesn't say what the cause is but it may be due to an infection but most are caused by gall stones and heavy alcohol use. Antibiotics should not be used for anything but bacterial infections.


Are white blood cells useful?

yes extremely useful as they are the cells that defend the body from infection


What are symptoms of bacterial vaginosis?

This infection is not a yeast infection (candidiasis) nor trichomoniasis (not a bacteria). Often there is a "fishy" smell and there isn't the normal change seen through the monthly cycle. Douching is the main cause for this disorder. There is no itching or redness. Lab testing can confirm the disease. Antibiotics can be used or probiotics have been found useful.


If you have been to the doctor and he has prescribed penicillin what do you most likely have flu chickenpox mumps sinus infection?

Fly, chickenpox, and mumps are always viral illnesses and cannot be cured with penicillin. Sinus infection is almost always viral, but can occasionally be bacterial. When it is, penicillin is not a useful antibiotic for the typical pathogens that cause sinus infection. I understand this question was probably on a secondary school homework assignment, but it's rather goofy.


How did the white blood cell different confirm that might have appendicitis?

Symptoms and signs are more useful in combination, however, a high WBC with a high Neutrophil count helps to indicate Appendicitis.

Discuss why it would be fruitless to prescribe penicillin for a viral infection?

Penicillin's mode of action is dependent on the beta-lactam ring. This ring is analogous to the D-ala-D-ala peptide chain on glycan strands in peptidoglycan, the component that makes up the bacterial cell wall. Penicillin inhibits cell wall synthesis; therefore, it has no effect on a viral infection due to the structure of a virus. It is sometimes useful to prescribe antibiotics to prevent secondary infection by bacteria in the event that a viral infection damages the immune system.


Why is the alternative pathway of complement useful in the early stages of an infection?

It does not rely on activation by antibodies.
