WITH COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS/
VERIFIED/GRADED A+
What is the mode of action of penicillin?
interferes with ability to synthesize cell. (attacks cells walls)
what is the mode of action of tetracycline?
binds to the ribosomes and halts protein production
what is the mode of action of floroquinoles?
messes up DNA replication
what is the mode of action of sulfonamides?
interferes with synthesis of folic acid
What is antibiotic resistance?
when the medicine no longer affects the bacteria because they
are immune to it.

, conjugation?
A pilius bridge forms. Plasmid duplicates and is transferred to
another cell via the bridge
transformation?
naked DNA floats around and is picked up by other cells
Transduction?
phages infect bacteria bringing along genes of other cells that
have resistance
what are the categories of medical interventions?
pharmacology, rehab, genetics, medical devices, diagnostics,
surgery
What is bioinformatics?
the application of computational methods to the storage and
analysis of biological data
