Which of the following describes the most likely conclusion from this observation? A B с D The molecule that is transmitted by the virus is a protein since proteins contain nitrogen but nucleic acids do not. The molecule that is transmitted by the virus is a protein since proteins contain phos- phorus but nucleic acids do not.

In addition to surgery to clean the wound and providing botulinum antitoxin, you wish to give the patient antibiotics to stop the protein toxin synthesis immediately. Which of the following antibiotics would you NOT give your patient if you wished to immediately stop bacterial translation?
