Concept explainers
(1)
To determine:
The term semisynthetic in reference to an antimicrobial drug.
Case summary:
A marine sergeant suffering from leg injury shows infections. His wound starts to become worse after three days of treatment. For quick and rapid action doctors prescribed him some semisynthetic drugs.
(2)
To determine:
The name of the active site of the drug cephalexin.
Case summary:
In the given scenario a marine sergeant was prescribed an antimicrobial drug cephalexin due to microbial infections in his leg wound. Doctors prescribed him a semisynthetic drug due to strong effectiveness of semisynthetic antimicrobial drugs.
(3)
To determine:
The enzyme due to which resistance will develop if the bacterium proves to be resistant to cephalexin.
Case summary:
In the given scenario a sergeant was prescribed antimicrobial drug cephalexin. It was necessary to prescribe him antimicrobials as his wound started to become worse after three days of treatment.
(4)
To determine:
The other name for diffusion susceptibility test.
Case summary:
A marine sergeant whose wound starts to become worse after three days of treatment was prescribed semisynthetic antibiotics. For quick and rapid action doctors prescribed him some semisynthetic drugs. A sample of wound swab was sent for diffusion susceptibility test.
