Answer 1

Answer #1

The correct answer is -DNA synthesis

Explanation- The fluoroquinolones are the class of antibiotics that inhibit the process of DNA replication in the bacteria . It works by inhibiting the DNA gyrase and DNA topoisomerase enzymes. These two enzymes are the two most critical enzymes of the DNA replication.

Why not others-

Cell wall synthesis is inhibited by penicillin group of antibiotics

Cell membrane synthesis is affected by class fo antibiotics called Polymixins

metabolic pathway is affected by the antibiotics called sulfonamides

1) Antimicrobial X targets a specific protein in the cytoplasm of the bacterial cell, causing the bacteria to stop growing, but does not kill them. A few bacteria start to grow in the presence of antibiotic X. Analysis of the bacteria that can now grow shows that they have changed the shape of the target for antimicrobial X. What conclusion can be made? a) The change in shape of the target for antimicrobial X had no effect on the effectiveness...
