Why might clinical medicine have an interest in understanding bacterial cell division at the molecular level? Explain why a hyperthermophile would probably not be a human pathogen. Describe four factors that may have an influence on the effectiveness of an antimicrobial treatment. Explain why 70% or 80% alcohol is more effective than 100% alcohol in controlling microorganisms

Why is the effectiveness of an antimicrobial agent determined using an exponentially growing bacterial culture? Please explain.
The type of antimicrobial drug that would be most likely to have toxic effects in humans based on the premise of selective toxicity when treating microbial infection would be a drug that O 1) inhibits the synthesis of the cell wall O 2) inhibits metabolic pathways O 3) disrupts the cytoplasmic membrane 4) inhibits protein synthesis 5) All of the above have equal potential to be toxic
How is UV radiation a good type of control mechanism against microbial growth? Explain what happens to the microbe and effects this control causes.
A common mechanism by which sensor cells in the host detect micro-organisms relies on the production of unique microbial components not found in the host. Propose a strategy by which a clever microbe could evade this type of response.
Why are antimicrobial processes inhibited in the presence of extraneous organic matter?
If a bacterial isolate shows intermediate to moderate resistance to an antimicrobial, how might this drug still be successfully used in the treatment of this microbe?
Broad-spectrum drugs target a wide variety of bacterial pathogens. Even when the broad-spectrum drug is capable of killing a target pathogen, it may not be the best treatment. Which statement best explains why a broad spectrum drug might be an undesirable treatment choice? Broad-spectrum antimicrobials are usually toxic to the host cells. Broad-spectrum antimicrobials only work if they are used shortly after the infection begins. Broad-spectrum antimicrobials may kill much of the normal microbiota. Broad-spectrum antimicrobials are not able to kill bacteria that are in their log phase of growth. Broad-spectrum antimicrobials may stimulate excess growth of the normal microbiota.
