Chapter 19, Problem 7SA
Summary Introduction
To describe:
Reason that Penicillin is not an effective drug of choice although in
Introduction:
Penicillin is an antibiotic drug which interferes with the synthesis of peptidoglycan in the cell wall of bacteria. This leads to the death of bacteria strains which causes infection inside the human body.

Students have asked these similar questions
The antibiotic susceptibility testing results of Staphylococcus showed zones of inhibition (absence of growth on zones) around discs of Penicilin, Teracycline, chloramphenicol, this means that
a) S. aueres is resistant to all these antibiotics.
b) S. aueres is susceptible to all these antibiotics.
c) susceptible to only a couple of them
d) neither are the correct choices
Where do true antibiotics come from in nature? Explain why this is the case.
Anthrax is
O 1) a zoonosis.
O2) only seen sporadically in the United States.
O 3) a disease that, in humans, can cause a rapidly fatal toxemia and septicemia.
4) transmitted by contact, inhalation, and ingestion.
O 5) All of these choices are correct.
