the growth of other microbes is a(n)
a. synthetic drug

b. antibiotic

c. antimicrobial drug

d. competitive inhibitor

Definition Definition Diverse group of organisms that primarily obtain nutrients through absorption. They range from single-celled yeasts to complex multi-cellular structures such as mushrooms. Fungi play important roles in ecosystems as decomposers, plant symbionts, and even pathogens. They also have practical uses in medicine, food production, and industry.

An antimicrobial agent shows selective toxicity when specifically: An antimicrobial agent is said to exhibit selective toxicity when it specifically: Select one: O does not induce the development of resistant strains of microorganisms O kills or destroys many species of microorganisms O kills or inhibits the microorganism with minimal or no damage to host cells O penetrates rapidly into host cells and tissues O does not interfere with host defense microorganisms
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 choice? Broad-spectrum antimicrobials are usually toxic to the host cells. Broad-spectrum antimicrobials only work if they are used shortly after the infection begins. Broad-spectrum antimicrobials may kill much of the normal microbiota. Broad-spectrum antimicrobials are not able to kill bacteria that are in their log phase of growth. Broad-spectrum antimicrobials may stimulate excess growth of the normal microbiota.
Some bacteria produce the enzyme penicillinase, which breaks the beta-lactam ring in the penicillin molecule and converts it into penicilloic acid, which is harmless to bacteria.
