"Only those bacteria that carry the ampicillin resistance and, therefore, the gene can survive." This sentence needs more verbs. Does the author mean "Only those bacteria that carry the ampicillin resistance survive and, therefore..."? It seems likely, but I don't know the first thing about genes or ampicillin.

« ... It is suspected to cause certain types of cancer in animals, including humans. »
I translated the page Ampicillin in the French language, but can someone confirm this carcinogenic risico as I am not sure of this and I didn't find any sources (not ever in a global internet search)... Friendly yours Eras-mus18:43, 23 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, influenza is caused by a virus; the (unfortunately) named Haemophilus influenzae is a bacterium which was once thought to cause the flu. (While this turned out to be false, H. influenzae does cause a number of other - largely pediatric - disesases.) -- MarcoTolo (talk) 19:41, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Is is worth adding that ampicillin is very common in molecular biology as a selection marker?
Lab bacteria are given a plasmid with amp resistance and then grown on ampicillin agar plates, so only the lab bacteria with the plasmid can grow. 2001:7C0:28E0:108:8DD8:E249:1572:B2D7 (talk) 12:34, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
