Choose the false statement: O Penicillin is a ß lactam which inhibits bacterial growth by inhibiting DNA polymerase. O Resistance to ß lactamase inhibitors arises when bacteria duplicate the ß lactamase gene. O B lactamase inhibitors are prescribed together with antibiotics like penicillin in order to combat resistance to these antibiotics.

Question
**Choose the false statement:**

- Penicillin is a β lactam which inhibits bacterial growth by inhibiting DNA polymerase.
  
- Resistance to β lactamase inhibitors arises when bacteria duplicate the β lactamase gene.

- β lactamase inhibitors are prescribed together with antibiotics like penicillin in order to combat resistance to these antibiotics.

---

**Question 10**

**Choose the false statement below:**

- Using multiple antimicrobials in combination is an ineffective strategy because they generally are redundant in effect and the chance of drug resistance will be increased.

- Because of its complex structure and multiple binding sites, the ribosome is the target for multiple types of antibiotics.

- Choice of an antimicrobial agent may be dependent upon the material treated as well as the susceptibility of the microbe.
