Which of the following is not one of the three main ways microbes evade antimicrobial drugs?ANSWERLimit production of peptidoglycanPump drugs outAlter the drug’s targetInactivate drugs

An antibiotic works by disrupting peptidoglycan cell wall biosynthesis. Which of the following statement is TRUE?Group of answer choicesIt will kill fungi because they have cell walls made of chitinIt will not kill viruses because they do not have cell wallIt will kill viruses because they have nucleocapsid structureIt will kill bacteriophage but not enveloped virus

The term antimicrobials describes Blank______.Multiple choice question.a drug given to prevent illness in someone at risk for infectionany drug that works against microbes, no matter which microbes are targetsa drug that works against a wide variety of microbesa drug that works only against bacteria

Which of the following antibacterial drugs targets the cell wall of bacteria?ANSWERCiprofloxacinVancomycinPolymyxin BClindamycin

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

Antibiotics are _________________.ANSWERwholly manufactured by chemical processesnaturally occurring antibiotics chemically modified to improve their pharmacological actions and/or stabilitynaturally occurring antimicrobial compoundsa superfamily of drugs that work by blocking cell wall construction
