Below, you can see a picture of an antimicrobial drug. Regarding semi-synthetic antimicrobial drug development to try to avoid development of antibiotic resistance, use 1 sentence to address what is the significance/value of the presence of the various R-groups (e.g. R4, R5, R6, etc.)?
A bacterium can protect itself against antibiotics in different ways. Describe 4 fundamentally differentmechanisms of antibiotic resistance. Discuss whether there are any basicdifferences or similarities between these 4 mechanisms and, if so, describe them.
Whether an antimicrobial is broad spectrum or narrow spectrum depends on its mode of action. For the following 2 hypothetical drugs, predict whether they are broad spectrum or narrow spectrum. Explain your reasoning: 4. a. Drug A interferes with peptidoglycan synthesis - b. Drug B interferes with 70S ribosome function- c. Drug C interferes with synthesis of a vitamin –
Match the following drug targets with the type of antibiotic that uses them (answers may be used more than once or not at all). a. Cell wall b.Cell membrane c. Protein synthesis (Transcription/Translation) d. Metabolic Pathway e. Nucleic Acid synthesis Chloramphenicol Clindamycin Erythromycin Doxycycline Sulfonamides Answer these multiple-choice questions as well. Please give just the answer and no explanation. 1. Which is not true of virus capsids?a. They surround and protect viral nucleic acidb. Always icosahedral in shapec. Remain outside of host bacterial cells while the nucleic acid is injected into the bacterial celld. Enters host animal cells together with the nucleic acid e. Made up of protein subunits called capsomeres 2. All viruses have: a. DNA b. RNAc. Envelopesd. Glycoprotein spikes e. Host specificity 3.

I have a research study entitled Garlic as platform to overcome drug resistance of bacteria. May I ask for help about the statement of the problem.. can you give me at least 3 questiins with regards to my topic.. thank you very much
Match each of the descriptions in Column A with the correct panel listed in Column B. Description Panel Resistant bacteria share resistance genes with each other Resistant bacteria survive and reproduce Treatment with methicillin kills nonresistant bacteria Some bacteria carry a mutation that provided resistance to methicillin Predict the possible outcome(s) if the antibiotic tetracycline was applied after panel 4. Check all that apply. O The tetracycline will act as a selective pressure, causing bacteria to mutate in order to survive. O Since the population is resistant to methicillin and not tetracycline, none of the bacteria will survive. O Treatment with an antibiotic will not affect the overall survival of the population. Any bacterium that has a mutation for tetracycline resistance would be able to survive.
nich TWO of the following statements about Extended Spectrum ß-lactamases are CORRECT? O Extended Spectrum ß-lactamases can inactivate all B-lactam antibiotics except third generation antibiotics in this family. O Genetic material encoding for extended spectrum ß-lactamases are easily transferred to other bacteria via transduction. O Extended Spectrum ß-lactamases are frequently produced in Klebsiella sp. and Escherichia coli strains. O Many Extended Spectrum ß-lactamases are not inhibited by clavulanic acid and other B-lactamase inhibitors. OSome Extended Spectrum ß-lactamases-producing E. coli are still sensitive to penicillins. OA new class of Extended Spectrum ß-lactamases has emerged and these have been widely detected among S. epidermidis. O Extended Spectrum ß-lactamases are not effective against the cephalosporin family of antibiotics.
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.

What does the zone of inhibition imply? Does the measurement of the zone ofinhibition imply that one antibiotic is better than the other? Support your answer.
You perform a Kirby-Bauer assay with two antibiotics. Antibiotic X has a zone of inhibition of 9 mm. Antibiotic Y has a zone of inhibition of 11 mm. Which antibiotic is better at killing this particular microorganism? Group of answer choices 1Antibiotic Y 2Antibiotic X and Y, which have identical antimicrobial activities 3Antibiotic X4 4It is impossible to tell from the information given
Spectrum of activity describes how many species of microbes a drug works against. Broad-spectrum antibiotics are effective against many different groups of bacteria, while narrow-spectrum antibiotics work well against a particular group or species, but have little effect on the rest. Based on our class results, which of the following are narrow-spectrum? Group of answer choices Amoxicillin/Clavulanic acid Ampicillin Kanamycin Ciprofloxacin Vancomycin Bacitracin Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole
