The correct answer is -DNA synthesis
Explanation- The fluoroquinolones are the class of antibiotics that inhibit the process of DNA replication in the bacteria . It works by inhibiting the DNA gyrase and DNA topoisomerase enzymes. These two enzymes are the two most critical enzymes of the DNA replication.
Why not others-
Cell wall synthesis is inhibited by penicillin group of antibiotics
Cell membrane synthesis is affected by class fo antibiotics called Polymixins
metabolic pathway is affected by the antibiotics called sulfonamides

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...
