Question

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

Here are the standardized antibiotic test results for several lab sections.
