The use of two antimicrobial agents to treat an infectious disease sometimes produces a degree of pathogen killing that is far greater than that achieved by either drug alone. This is known as synergism. Many urinary, respiratory, and gastrointestinal infections respond particularly well to a combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole, a combination referred to as co-trimoxazole; brand names include Bactrim and Septra. There are situations, however, when two drugs are prescribed (perhaps by two different clinicians who are treating the patient’s infection) that actually work against each other. This is known as antagonism. The extent of pathogen killing is less than that achieved by either drug alone. (1 Point)TrueFalse
