Question
Chapter 22.4, Problem 8AYP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
An example of a xenobiotic that has been made biodegradable.
Concept introduction:
“Xenobiotic” can be represented as exogenous chemicals or any foreign substances which is not recognized by the human body such as certain drugs, pollutants, and some food additives. It is not produced naturally by the body system and has various biological effects.

Even if resistance is not an issue, the antimicrobials are found to only have a discrete range of bacteria that they can exert their effects on. Why is this the found case? Question options: Microbial components vary over different species and strains. If the organism naturally doesn't express the target component, the drug won't be able to exert an effect on it. Antimicrobials are designed to be effective for a predetermined period of time. An older antibiotic can't exert any effects on a new microbial strain. There is a different antimicrobial designed for every strain of bacteria. As a result there is no crossover in action due to selective targeting. The body filters antimicrobial compounds to interact with their target microorganism. Until research determines how to control this, antimicrobials will only ever have a very discrete range of targets.arrow_forwardA Photo credit: BSP3D- Group 5 Pharm. Bio.
