- 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.arrow_forwardDescribe four modes of action of antimicrobial agents, and provideexamples of how they work.arrow_forwardWhen might a broad-spectrum antimicrobial drug be a good treatment choice? When the patient has an immunocompromised condition When the pathogen is in the log phase of growth When a preventative treatment is needed prior to invasive surgery When the infection has resulted in extreme symptoms When the specific pathogen causing an infection is knownarrow_forward

- Choose the false statement below: O Using three different classes of antimicrobials in combination greatly decreases the chance of developing resistance because the drug resistance strategy for one is the same for others. O Drug resistance to antimicrobials has proven to be extensive against chemotherapeutics as well as other chemical antimicrobials. O Collateral damage is a term that refers to the killing of normal body flora as well as pathogenic bacteria when taking antimicrobials or antibiotics.arrow_forwardlist 5 different antimicrobial agents, describe their mode of action and whether the are an HLD, ILD or LLD.arrow_forwardWhat are the major actions of antimicrobial agents?
