- Why are bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase good targets for antimicrobial drugs? These enzymes are not necessary for DNA replication. These enzymes are involved in energy production, so targeting them would prevent the bacteria from obtaining necessary energy. These enzymes are different from their eukaryotic counterparts, so the drugs targeting them should not affect the host. These enzymes are responsible for host cell recognition, so targeting them would prevent the host cell from being infected.Flag this QuestionQuestion 10arrow_forwardCan the below be added to the answer: Some common cytopathic effects include: Cell rounding and detachment: The infected cells may become rounded and detach from the underlying surface, leading to cell death and tissue damage. Cell lysis: In lytic infections, the virus utilizes the host cell's resources to produce new virus particles. As a result, the infected cell eventually bursts (lysis), releasing the newly formed viruses, which can go on to infect neighboring cells. Formation of inclusion bodies: Some viruses induce the formation of distinct structures called inclusion bodies within the infected cells. These inclusion bodies are often aggregates of viral proteins or nucleic acids and can be visualized under a microscope. Cell fusion: Certain viruses have the ability to cause infected cells to fuse together, forming multinucleated giant cells. This fusion enhances viral spread and can lead to the destruction of affected tissues. Cellular damage and functional impairment: Viral…arrow_forwarda Contrast the endocytic and exocytic pathways in terms of directionality, purpose, and participation of certain organelles and membranes.arrow_forward
