Homework Answers
73. Antimicrobial drugs are used to treat infectious diseases and disorders by killing the bacteria. Antimicrobial drugs include different classes of drugs :
1. Antibacterial
2. Disinfectant
3. Antibiotic
4. Antifungal
antimicrobial drugs act by inhibiting bacterial growth and killing the bacteria through following mechanism:
- Inhibiting Cell wall synthesis
- Inhibiting protein synthesis
- Destroying the bacteria through cytoplasmic membrane permeability
- Inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis
- anti metabolic.
So the answer is a) killing the bacteria

1) Antimicrobial X targets a specific protein in the cytoplasm of the bacterial cell, causing the bacteria to stop growing, but does not kill them. A few bacteria start to grow in the presence of antibiotic X. Analysis of the bacteria that can now grow shows that they have changed the shape of the target for antimicrobial X. What conclusion can be made? a) The change in shape of the target for antimicrobial X had no effect on the effectiveness...

Consider that a certain antimicrobial drug prevents bacterial growth. However, when the drug treatment is stopped, the bacteria resumes growth. This antimicrobial drug would be considered. Select one: a. bacteriostatic. b. narrow-spectrum. c. toxic. d. broad-spectrum. e. bacteriocidal. Broad-spectrum drugs target a wide variety of bacterial pathogens. Even when the broad-spectrum drug is capable of killing a target pathogen, it may not be the best treatment. Which statement best explains why a broad spectrum drug might be an undesirable treatment...

Which two antimicrobial drugs inhibit sequential steps in the synthesis of folic acid? penicillin and sulfamethoxazole sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim penicillin and gentamicin erythromycin and penicillin trimethoprim and synercid True/False: Viral infections are generally easier to treat than bacterial infections because viruses do not have a cellular structure. True False 1. Superinfection is most likely to result from a narrow spectrum antibiotic an extremely invasive, pathogenic organism that is antibiotic resistant the same organism re-infecting a patient after discontinuing antibiotic therapy...
There are more antimicrobial agents that target bacteria than there are antimicrobial agents that target protozoans,...
There are more antimicrobial agents that target bacteria than there are antimicrobial agents that target protozoans, helminths and and fungi because a. bacteria are more infectious b. there are more bacterial cellular targets for antimicrobials c. parasites share many characteristics with human cells and selective drug toxicity is difficult to achieve d. parasites are only found inside human cells e. none of the above

Select one or more: a. intravenously b. orally c. intramuscularly d. topically Protein synthesis occurs in all living cells. Why, then, are some antimicrobial drugs that target protein synthesis selectively toxic to bacteria? Select one: a. The protein synthesis in human cells occurs less frequently than that in bacterial cells. b. The ribosomes found in human cells and those...
