Provide explanation with your answers.
Explanation / Answer
Answers:
10. C. Production of Endotoxin is NOT a major target of antibacterial chemotherapy because antimicrobial agents i.e. antibiotics do not bind or target them.
11. A. Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing does NOT hasten antimicrobial chemotherapy drug resistance in bacteria because it is a procedure to quantitatively measure the susceptibility of a microorganism to an antimicrobial agent.
12. C. Antigen-Presenting Cells because they play an important role in both adaptive and innate immune responses in the form of dendritic cells and macrophages.
