Phage Therapy
Viruses that kill bacteria are making a comeback to fight antibiotic resistance
3 days ago
0
Why is phage therapy considered a promising alternative to antibiotics in treating bacterial infections?
Because phages specifically target and kill bacteria without harming beneficial microbes, and can evolve alongside bacterial resistance.
Because phage therapy uses broad-spectrum agents that kill all bacteria indiscriminately, similar to antibiotics.
Because phage therapy relies on boosting the immune system rather than directly attacking bacteria.

Hydrophobia (Rabies Symptom)
The dread of water signals a deadly viral siege on the brain's control of swallowing
5 days ago
0
Why does hydrophobia develop in rabies patients, and what does it indicate about the disease's progression?
Hydrophobia is a psychological fear unrelated to the physical effects of rabies infection.
Hydrophobia occurs early in rabies infection and can be easily treated with water therapy.
Hydrophobia develops due to painful throat spasms caused by brain inflammation, indicating the disease has reached a fatal neurological stage.

Sexually Transmitted Infections
Silent infections fuel the hidden spread of sexually transmitted diseases worldwide
5 days ago
0
Why is the term 'sexually transmitted infection' preferred over 'sexually transmitted disease' in medical contexts?
Because 'disease' refers only to bacterial infections, while 'infection' includes viruses.
Because it includes cases where the infection is present without symptoms, emphasizing early detection and prevention.
Because 'infection' implies a more severe condition than 'disease'.

Antifungal Resistance
Fungal foes evolve stealthy defenses, turning simple infections into deadly threats
6 days ago
0
What is a primary factor contributing to the rise of antifungal resistance and its impact on treatment options?
Fungi develop resistance mainly because antifungal drugs target human cells, not fungi.
Antifungal resistance is not a concern because fungi cannot mutate or adapt to medications.
The overuse and misuse of antifungal medications accelerate fungal adaptation, reducing drug effectiveness.

Why does highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) use multiple drugs targeting different stages of HIV replication?
Because a single drug is too expensive to produce
To cure HIV infection completely within a short period
To reduce viral load effectively and prevent the virus from developing drug resistance

Urethritis
Silent infections fuel the hidden spread of urethritis despite painful symptoms in others
10 days ago
0
What complicates the control and diagnosis of urethritis despite its common symptoms?
Urethritis always presents with severe symptoms, making it easy to diagnose.
Urethritis is never caused by non-sexual factors and always indicates an STI.
The condition can be asymptomatic in some individuals, allowing silent transmission.
