Why make oral antibiotics into intravenous antibiotics?
When an antibiotic is taken orally, it enters the digestive system and once the capsule coating is digested, the antibiotic is absorbed by the gut and then it enters the blood stream. Then it is passed on to all the parts of the body via the blood stream. Hence, there is some time lag between the ingestion of the pill and the availability of the antibiotic in the blood.
Antibiotics, when administered intravenously, directly enter the blood stream. This has some advantages. First, the time lag is absent in this route of medicine delivery. Secondly, a higher dosage of antibiotics can be given in this method. Sometimes the dosage of antibiotics may be too high for a patient to consume it orally or a patients may not be in a position to ingest the antibiotics. Further for certain bone and lung infections IV administration is the best method of treatment as the antibiotics quickly reaches the site of infection. The dosage of antibiotics too can be increased or decreased as per the needs quickly when the antibiotic is administered as IV.

Explain why the overprescription of antibiotics by doctors, or the overuse of everyday soaps containing antibiotics, can be a health risk. O The overuse of antibiotics or antibiotic soaps can be a health risk because the repeated exposure to antibiotics can damage human cells. When antibiotics are overused, the repeated exposure triggers mutations in the bacteria that result in resistance. Resistant bacteria will then survive and multiply, reducing the effectiveness of the antibiotic treatment in the future. When antibiotics are...

Transport antibiotics generally make membranes particularly permeable to certain charged particles. There are several types of transport antibiotics including carriers and channel-forming antibiotics. The conductance (permeability) of a biological membrane containing a carrier antibiotic decreases abruptly when the temperature is lowered from 37oC to 25oC. In contrast, there is little change in conductance in the same membrane when it contains a channel-forming antibiotic. Why? (HINT: Carrier antibiotics shuttle ions from one side of the membrane to another and rely on...
