How does our immune system interact with bacteria living within us that are important (or even essential) for our survival? How can an immune response contribute to disease? Discuss how some microbes that produce infections in humans have become resi...
How does temperature influence the growth of bacteria? How does the structure of gram negative bacteria contribute to their ability to cause disease? Why isn't one antimicrobial agent equally effective against different kinds of bacteria? Explain why some microbes produce antibiotics in the environment...
Inhaled TB bacteria settle in the lungs. People with strong immune systems are usually able to combat bacteria and prevent the bacterium from multiplying by the immune system that contains the bacterial colony in a membrane built by cells (tubers). These structures have the potential to burst if...
Antibiotics are used to kill bacteria but are ineffective against viruses. As the majority of illnesses in childhood are viral in origin, antibiotics are not useful at all. Consider the common illnesses in children: common cold, flu, gastroenteritis and hand foot mouth disease. These conditions ar...

which starts after the other symptoms, feels like sandpaper and may or may not be itchy. The bacteria release a toxin that produces the rash. Scarlet fever is very contagious, and although it will resolve on its own, it is necessary to treat the underlying strep infection with antibiotics. ...
Probiotics are certain "good" bacteria found in the intestines. They can also be found in supplements and certain foods, like yogurt. Some studies suggest they may be helpful to treat or prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea. But there's no final consensus on if they are helpful to prevent ...
Official answer: Yes, doxycycline is an oral tetracycline antibiotic that works by slowing the growth of acne-producing bacteria and...
