Question
### Silver as an Antimicrobial Agent in Medical Devices Silver may be used to coat endotracheal tubes. It is an excellent antimicrobial agent effective against a number of infectious agents, acting as a non-competitive inhibitor of enzymes. **Question:** Which of the following apply to HOW silver functions to kill bacteria? - **Option 1:** None of the statements apply - **Option 2:** Denatures enzymes and other proteins leading to cell death - **Option 3:** Induction of spontaneous mutations in the circular chromosome leading to a loss of antibiotic resistance in the bacteria **Note:** The selected answer is **"None of the statements apply"**.

### Multiple Choice Options - **Option 1:** Disruption of pH homeostasis of the environment leading to cell death - **Option 2:** Mimics the shape of the true substrate blocking enzymatic reactions leading to cell death Each option represents a potential mechanism affecting cellular processes and could be used to explain how certain factors lead to cell death. This is often studied in the context of toxicology, pharmacology, or cellular biology to understand how cells respond to environmental stress or chemical substances.
