Bacteria can survive on their own, while viruses are not cells and require a host's cell to multiply in. Bacterial infections can be killed by antibiotic drugs, while viral infections have no known cure and have to run its course.Answer and Explanation: ...
This is known as antibiotic resistance. Infections exist today that are caused by bacteria resistant to some antibiotics. The existence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria creates the danger of life-threatening infections that don't respond to antibiotics. There are several reasons for the development of...
A study was carried out in abattoirs to identify certain bacterial flora in a number of samples collected from ewes' uteri with detection of phenotypic and genotypic antibiotic resistance patterns of the identified bacteria. The study was done in the South of Iraq during a period that started ...
Influence of stress and antibiotic resistance on cell-length distribution in Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates. Front. Microbiol. 21, 2296 (2017). This study shows that increased cell size and variation in cell length are found in sputum and infected macrophages compared with liquid culture...
Warning: Do not confuse antibiotics with anti-inflammatory drugs. How does antibiotic induce resistance? TOP Antibiotic resistance One of the biggest problems of modern medicine is the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, which has led to the emergence of bacteria resistant to them. When the first ...
Antibiotic Resistance Overuse and misuse of antibiotics has led to a rise in antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria are no longer sensitive to a medication that should eliminate an infection. Antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections are potentially very dangerous and increase the...

Antibiotic resistance genes in the skin microbiome The resistance of bacteria to antibiotic drugs is posing a major challenge to modern medicine. The collection of all the antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and their precursors which are expressed by both pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria has bee...
Gonorrhea is one of the oldest known sexually transmitted diseases. It is estimated that over one million women are currently infected with gonorrhea. Among women who are infected, a significant percentage also will be infected with chlamydia, another type of bacteria that causes another STD. (...
Today, this bacteria is named Yersinia pestis in honor of Alexandre Yersin. Yersenia pestis is a gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria that can infect humans, as well as other animals such as rodents. It can live in some rodents without causing significant disease, and it spreads to humans ...
