The larger the therapeutic index, the better the chemotherapeutic agent. Which of the following is an antibiotic? Ampicillin, Ciprofloxacin, Sulfonamide, Penicillin, all of the above. Which of the following tests is not used to determine the minimal lethal concentration? E-test strips, Agar dilution test, Dilution susceptibility tests, none of the above, all may be used. The most selective antibiotics are those that interfere with the synthesis of bacterial DNA, bacterial RNA, bacterial cell walls, bacterial plasma membrane. Quinolones are antimetabolites, bacteristatic, broad-spectrum, narrow-spectrum. Which antibiotic has a beta-lactam ring? Cephalosporin, Penicillin, Tetracycline, Chloramphenicol. Patients with penicillin allergies are frequently allergic to another class of antibiotics. Which one? Cephalosporins, Macrolides, Aminoglycosides, Fluoroquinolones. Which of the following is not a mechanism of action for an anti-viral drug? killing extracellular viruses, stopping virus synthesis, inhibiting virus maturation, blocking virus receptors. The highest degree of selective toxicity would be exhibited by an antimicrobial whose mechanism of action interrupting ribosomal function, dissolving the cell membrane, preventing cell wall synthesis, inhibiting DNA replication. Which of the following would be least effective against a gram negative? a beta lactam, polymixin, a macrolide, a glycopeptide.
