To be acceptable, an antimicrobial agent must inhibit or destroy the pathogen without damaging the host (i.e., the infected person). To accomplish this, the agent must target a metabolic process or structure possessed by the pathogen but not possessed by the host. The five most common mechanisms of action of antimicrobial agents are as follows, except: (1 Point)• Inhibition of cell wall synthesis• Damage to cell membranes• Inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis (either DNA or RNA synthesis)• Inhibition of protein synthesis• Inhibition of toxins
