Antibacterial Activity: Sulfanilamide works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria by interfering with the synthesis of folic acid, which is essential for bacterial DNA synthesis and replication. It is effective against a range of bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, and skin infections caused by susceptible bacteria.
Side Effects: Like other antibiotics, sulfanilamide can cause side effects. Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, headache, dizziness, and skin rash. Some individuals may also experience allergic reactions, including severe skin reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis, although these are rare.
Hypersensitivity Reactions: Sulfanilamide can cause hypersensitivity reactions in some individuals, particularly those with a history of allergies to sulfa drugs or related medications. Hypersensitivity reactions may include rash, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing, and anaphylaxis. Patients with a known allergy to sulfanilamide or sulfa drugs should avoid sulfanilamide-containing medications.
Blood Disorders: Rarely, sulfanilamide can cause blood disorders such as agranulocytosis (severe depletion of white blood cells), hemolytic anemia (destruction of red blood cells), and thrombocytopenia (low platelet count). Patients should be monitored for signs of blood disorders while taking sulfanilamide, and treatment should be discontinued if these complications occur.
Renal Impairment: Sulfanilamide is primarily excreted by the kidneys, so patients with renal impairment may require dosage adjustments or closer monitoring to prevent drug accumulation and potential toxicity. Kidney function should be assessed before starting treatment with sulfanilamide, and dosage adjustments may be necessary in patients with impaired renal function.
Drug Interactions: Sulfanilamide may interact with other medications, potentially increasing the risk of side effects or reducing the effectiveness of other drugs. It's important for patients to inform their healthcare providers about all medications, supplements, and herbal products they are taking before starting treatment with sulfanilamide.

We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
