What disease or infection can affect a cell?
Any disease or infection.
Is there more than 1 antibiotic for a disease?
That depends on what the disease is. Oftentimes, there is more than one antibiotic that can be used for a disease. There are what are known as "broad-spectrum antibiotics", which can be used for many different types of infections, and if one of these does not help, another may. But antibiotics are ONLY for the treatment of infection, not viruses nor any other disease agent.

Can adomen wound infection cause any nonfatal disease?
It depends on the type of infection, and it is best to visit your doctor for advice and the correct antibiotic. Usually a large wound gets stitches to help it heal along with directions to keep it germ free.
Why would not taking the entire course of antibiotics be counter productive in the treatments of any infection?
When antibiotics are incorrectly used and are not taken for the full term prescribed, usually from 5 to 21 days, depending on the specific antibiotic and disease, surviving bacteria develops immunity to the antibiotic.
What is Antibiotic Sensitivity Test?
Antibiotic sensitivity testing is a laboratory technique used to determine which antibiotics will be most effective in treating a bacterial infection. The test involves exposing the bacteria to different antibiotics to see which ones inhibit their growth. This information helps doctors prescribe the most appropriate antibiotic for a specific infection.
Does hydrochlorothiazide cure chlamydia?
Hydrochlortothiazide is a diuretic, not an antibiotic. It will not treat chlamydia or any other infection.
Can Impetigo harm an unborn baby?
Impetigo is a 'contagious' disease. That means it is spread by direct physical contact. If you don't touch anyone who has it you shouldn't get the infection. It is quite rare for an adult to get impetigo. This is partly because it is usually caused by the most common bacteria which are present on the skin, and adults usually have more resistance. Being pregnant does not create an extra risk. The bacteria which cause the disease are not likely to cause any harm to an unborn child if there is only an infection on the skin. The disease is often treatable with antibiotic cream, but sometimes the patient also needs to take an antibiotic by mouth. If you did catch the infection, then as long as the doctor knows that you are pregnant, you could, if required, be prescribed antibiotic that is safe to use in pregnancy.
What kind of antibiotics are used for skin infection?
Most likely the doctor will prescribe both an oral antibiotic and a topical antibiotic. Usually the topical antibiotic prescribed is called Bactroban. This is just an ointment that is applied to the affected area. They will also give you an antibiotic to be taken by mouth. The doctor will choose which antibiotic to give you depending on the severity of the infection, as well as depending on any allergies you may have to certain medications. Hope this helps!
What is the antibiotic called used in clearing URI a cold in cats?
An upper respiratory infection in cats is generally caused by a virus, against which an antibiotic would be useless. Therefore, there should not be any antibiotics being prescribed for this unless a secondary bacterial infection was also diagnosed.
Can one antibiotic be used to treat any infection?
No, different antibiotics are effective against different types of bacteria. It is important to use the right antibiotic for the specific type of infection to ensure the best results and reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance. Consulting a healthcare provider is crucial for determining the appropriate antibiotic for a particular infection.
