Ways in which Chemical Control Agents May AffectBacteria
1. Describe one way an antibiotic can inhibit peptidoglycansynthesis, state how that ultimately kills the bacterium, and givean example of such an antibiotic.
2. Describe one way an antibiotic can alter bacterialribosomes, state how that ultimately inhibits or kills thebacterium, and give an example of such an antibiotic.
3. Describe one way an antibiotic can interfere with bacterialDNA synthesis, state how that ultimately kills the bacterium, andgive an example of such an antibiotic.
Ways in which Bacteria May Resist Chemical Control Agent
1. Briefly describe 3 different mechanisms, as a result ofmutation or horizontal gene transfer in a bacterium, that mayenable that bacterium to resist an antibiotic
