Conduct additional research on the use of triclosan and other chemical agents in antimicrobial products today. Develop an opinion on whether this process should continue, providing evidence and citations to support your stance. Citations are required for all responses.

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

True or false    panresistant organisms are only susceptible to the strongest of antibiotics

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.

Draw the bacteria cell and indicate all the drug target in the bacteria cell and which drugs are able to attack each part.

Describe some of the special strategies of antimicrobial therapy.

Use of chemical agents to destroy microbes on skin or tissues Reinoval of microbes from surfaces by scrubbing Removal or destruction of all microbes Use of chemical agents to destroy microbes on surfaces used by the public Use of physical/chemical agents to destroy microbes on non-living objects Free of contamination by pathogens Antisepsis (antiseptic) Aseptic Degerming Sanitization Sterilization Disinfection
