Question
Chapter 9.3, Problem 1MM
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Whether an envelope virus or a nonenveloped virus be more likely be inactivated by an alcohol hand antiseptic along with an explanation.
Introduction:
The antiseptics are used as disinfectants. The disinfection is the process by which chemical agents are used to destroying the vegetative pathogens. The disinfectants are mainly used for viruses and not for bacterial endospores.

- 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_forwardDiscuss the rational for the use of Sulfonamide (Sufa drug) as an antimicrobial agent.arrow_forward

Because you love to work with children, you accept a job offer at a local pediatric clinic. A concerned mother brings herdaughter who had eye infection (pink eye, caused by gram-negative bacteria). The doctor prescribes her Cephalosporinantimicrobial drug. After a few days, the mother returned to the clinic and complained that the medicine did not help herdaughter. This time, the physician prescribes Penicillin antimicrobial drugs. However, based on your knowledge inmicrobiology class answer:1) why Cephalosporins does not eliminate the bacteria? 2) why do you think the Penicillin antimicrobial drugs will not help the little girl, and the physician should prescribe aStreptomycin antimicrobial drug as eye drops? 3) If the same bacteria develop resistance to Streptomycin, describe the bacteria's possible resistance method against thisantimicrobial drug?arrow_forward
