Different antibiotic
* Many different antibiotics are available, including amoxycillin, clarithromycin, and metronizadole
  - can treat group A streptococcal infections
* are effective in eliminating specific bacteria.
* fight different bacteria.
* have different spectrums of effectiveness.
* kill different bacteria.

Intravenous antibiotic
* add cost and complexity.
* allow for greater profusion of the sinus cavities and underlying structures.
* are highly successful when orals have truly failed
  - more effective than oral antibiotics

Natural antibiotic
* Many natural antibiotics target various aspects of ribosome function.
* can also fight fungal infections.
* have the unique ability to destroy pathogens.
* overcome the problems inherent with synthetic antibiotics.

Oral antibiotic
* Most oral antibiotics work best if taken on an empty stomach.
* appear to be equal to intravenous antibiotics for prophylaxis.
* have an antibacterial effect as well as an anti-inflammatory effect.
* tend to produce faster results than topical medications.
* work the same way.

Overuse of antibiotics
* can complicate the treatment of human illnesses from food-borne bacteria
  - lead to diarrhea, other infections and a more resistant bacteria
  - select for antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria
  - weaken the body's immune system and put it out of balance
* helps bacteria acquire extra resistance more quickly.
* is one of the factors that leads to the superbug.

### drug | medication | antibiotic:

Penicillin
* All penicillins act by interfering with synthesis of the cell wall
  - inhibit the biosynthesis of the bacterial cell wall
* act by inhibiting the formation of a cell wall.
* appear to be safe.
* are also the antibiotic type with the most frequent allergic reaction
  - antibiotics that interfere with proper cell wall formation in bacteria
* are antibiotics used for treatment of a wide variety of infections
  - to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections
  - bacteriocidal
  - generally bacteriocidal at clinically relevant doses
  - ineffective, tending to suppress the bacterium without killing it
* can cause substantial inactivation of aminoglycosides.
* exert their action on actively dividingcells by causing abnormal cell wall development.
* is an antibiotic drug
  - drugs
  - located in cabinets
  - medicine
  - prescription drugs
* produce most hypersensitivity reactions.
* work best when there constant amount circulating in the body
  - by damaging the cell wall of the bacteria

Several antibiotic
* are available to treat amebiasis.
* cause a fatal toxicity in hamsters.
* seem to work consistently in skin disease.

Sphagnum moss
* are the dominant plants forming a thick layer of peat.
* can contain a fungus that can effect some people.
* form the major component of peat.
* forms a spongy mat over ponded water.
* has many uses.
* helps create the very conditions that allow it to thrive.
* is abundant
  - also a good substrate choice
  - available in the form of long or short fibers, alive or dried
  - different from sphagnum peat moss
  - found in very wet soils in the floodplain
  - prevalent, making an insulating blanket
  - required for certain frog species though, like mantellas and dendrobates
* is the dominant plant in bogs and often forms a living mat across the water of a bog
  - gray stringy stuff used in craft or floral projects
  - living moss that grows on top of a sphagnum bog
  - mainstay of muskeg
  - major plant in a bog, which forms most of the bog mat
  - most common plant in coastal bogs
  - preferred rooting medium
* is used as soil conditioner because gametophyte cells hold water well
  - in the floral industry to line wire baskets and make wreaths
  - widely in the floral industry for wreaths or to line hanging baskets
* lives in bogs.
* living carpet of colour on the bog surface.
* requires a constant source of suitable water.
