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...
