1. What type of infections is Griseofulvin primarily used to treat?
Viral infections
Fungal infections
Parasitic infections
Bacterial infections
2. Describe why gram-negative bacteria are less susceptible to penicillin compared to
gram-positive bacteria.
Penicillin is ineffective against all types of bacteria.
Gram-negative bacteria have an outer membrane that acts as a barrier to
penicillin.
Gram-negative bacteria lack cell walls, making them immune to penicillin.
Gram-negative bacteria metabolize penicillin too quickly for it to be effective.
3. Describe the role of Caspofungin in treating fungal infections.
Caspofungin is a hormonal therapy for systemic candida infections.
Caspofungin is an antifungal medication used to treat invasive aspergillosis
and systemic candida infections.
, Caspofungin is used to treat viral infections.
Caspofungin is primarily used for bacterial infections.
4. Describe how Acyclovir works to combat viral infections.
Acyclovir inhibits viral DNA synthesis, preventing the replication of the virus.
Acyclovir enhances the immune response to the virus.
Acyclovir blocks protein synthesis in the host cell.
Acyclovir neutralizes viral toxins in the bloodstream.
5. Describe the significance of knowing the point value of each question on the NR566
Midterm Exam.
Knowing the point value helps students prioritize their study efforts and
manage their time during the exam.
It determines the total number of questions on the exam.
The point value indicates the difficulty level of the questions.
It is irrelevant to exam preparation.
6. Describe how NRTIs inhibit the replication of HIV.
NRTIs block the entry of HIV into host cells.
NRTIs inhibit the reverse transcriptase enzyme, preventing the conversion of
viral RNA into DNA.
NRTIs enhance the immune response against HIV.
NRTIs prevent the assembly of viral particles.
7. What is the primary route of administration for Acyclovir?
