Well, B.Coli live happily in your gut and Doderleins Bacillus lives in the vagina where it helps to maintain protective acidity.

Hi Kimbo96
Did you still need help?
If so heres what i wrote for 3b
How viral replication is different to the replication of bacteria & fungi - To start with the structure of a virus is very different to the structure of bacteria or fungi. Viruses are much smaller and simpler Microorganisums than either bacteria or fungi. Most bacteria and fungi live and reproduce outside of human body cells whereas viruses have no metabolic machinery of their own therefore they have to attach and penetrate a body cell to use their metabolic processes to replicate.

Once again. What confidence can an employing pharmacist have in the qualification achieved here? One, kimbo, has asked for an answer as she/he can't be bothered to look it up and Dawn, in a fit of thoughtless support has volunteered the answer.

This is unacceptable. No wonder locum pharmacists have no faith in technicians and their qualifications obtained by distance learning. Thankfully I no longer use distance learning.

Wooooo there.. How do u know he or she cannot be bothered to look up the answer? Looking at the question and knowing how hard it is when we are all so busy to get the support we need, and understanding how that feels, i felt it was acceptable to give the answer, i hope they read it and understand it if not at least have the basis in which to learn from. Have u read any of these modules, if so you will see how mind boggling they can be. The answer will be in the text somewhere anyway. At least the person can now move on to learn more appropriate things like the 'mechanism of action of drugs' or an gain an 'understanding of illnesses' to which we dispense medication on a daily basis for

You should both be reported to the NPA, and you madame, to the GPhC.
