Answer: Another strain of bacteria must have caused your own sickness

Explanation:

Bacteria are microorganisms that can cause diseases. They exist in different strain (i.e different subtype, though of the same specie).

So, the strain of bacteria that caused illnesses in you and your sister must have been different, and because different strains have unique metabolic machinery, enzymes, and other proteins; the same antibiotics that was effective in curing your sister's bacterial infection would rather be ineffective in your own case.

Thus, your doctor must prescribe a different antibiotic tailored to your bacteria strain

Como se representa la molecula de agua y en cuantas partes
Hitman42 [59]
<span>¡La opinión de un químico sobre el mundo no es tan estrecha como se podría pensar! Sí, empezamos con el átomo, y luego pasamos a las reglas que gobiernan los tipos de unidades estructurales que se pueden hacer con ellos. Se nos enseña tempranamente a predecir las propiedades de la materia en masa de estos arreglos geométricos. Y luego llegamos a H2O, y estamos sorprendidos al descubrir que muchas de estas predicciones están muy lejos, y que el agua (y por implicación, la vida misma) ni siquiera debería existir en nuestro planeta. Pero pronto aprendemos que esta pequeña combinación de tres núcleos y ocho electrones posee propiedades especiales que lo hacen único entre los más de 15 millones de especies químicas que conocemos actualmente. Cuando nos detenemos a reflexionar sobre las consecuencias de esto, la química pasa de ser una ciencia arcana a un viaje de maravilla y placer mientras aprendemos a relacionar el mundo microscópico del átomo con el mundo mayor en el que todos vivimos.</span>

The organic matter, or hydrocarbon raw material, is derived primarily from __________.
GarryVolchara [31]
The organic matter, or hydrocarbon raw material, is derived primarily from petroleum and natural gas.
Over 90% of the organic chemicals are produced from petroleum and natural gas routes nowadays. Even though the manufacturers search for alternatives because of the prices of the petroleum and natural gas, and look to replace them little by little, still these two are by far the dominant ones.
