Soil. The soil of the temperate grasslands is deep and dark, with fertile upper layers. It is nutrient-rich from the growth and decay of deep, many-branched grass roots. The rotted roots hold the soil together and provide a food source for living plants. Each different species of grass grows best in a particular grassland environment (determined by temperature, rainfall, and soil conditions). The seasonal drought, occasional fires, and grazing by large mammals all prevent woody shrubs and trees from invading and becoming established.
Dicloxacillin is penicillin-like antibiotic, prescribed for certain types of bacterial infections such as pneumonia, infections of the ear, urinary tract, bone and skin.
1 Much research has been done on the duration of antibiotic therapy for pneumonia. 2  Limiting exposure to antibiotic therapy where possible is generally preferred in order to minimize antibiotic resistance. 3  In many cases, shorter courses of 7 - 8 days compared to the standard 10 - 15 days may be just as effective. Pneumonia is a major complication of the flu (including H1N1, or swine flu) and can be very serious. 2  Influenza-associated pneumonia is particularly risky for the elderly and people with heart disease. 3  It can develop about 5 days after flu symptoms start.
