To determine:
What does the word semisynthetic mean in reference to an antibacterial agent. What is the name of the active site of the medicine cephalexin. If the microbe evidence to be resistant to cephalexin, resistance is probably due to what enzyme and the other name for a susceptible test (diffusion).
Case summary:
Ben feels honored to serve his nation as a marine sergeant, like his daddy and granddad. He was nearing to complete his second journey of duty in Afghanistan and eagerly waiting to come back to his home along with his wife and two sons. Though, before two weeks he was planning to vacate, he was extremely injured and lost his leg in a suicide bombers attack. In the beginning stage of the treatment, he responded well, but later his wound was evidently infected and become worse. His physicians suggested cephalexin, a semisynthetic cephalosporin. His wound was swabbed and the sample was sent to the lab by the nurse, for diffusion susceptibility test.
