Question

rue or False a The Kirby Bauer technique is a tube diffusion test for microbial sensitivity 3 Most natural antibiotics come from bacteria and protozoa 3Most natural antibiotics are derived from fungi and bacteria 3d Synthetic antibiotics are made by humans in a laboratory from dyes or chemicals as Lyphohilization is a combination of freezing and drying. It's a great way to preserve 36 37 Alexander Fleming accidentally discovered the antibiotic Penicillin He is the "Father of bacteria cultures and food (like coffee!) Dry oven heat sterilization requires 30 minutes exposure to150rc-180C Antibiotic Therapy 38 Asepsis is deliberately prohibiting pathogens access into sterile tissues 9Organic matter interferes with sterilizing agents. It must be removed before sterilizing instruments and equipment 40 A microbe's adverse effect on cells is its mode (or mechanism) of action 41 Cellular (microbial) targets of physical, chemical, and antibiotic agents include 1) cellwall2) cell membrane, 3) DNA/RNA 4) Protein Synthesis Viruses are ultramicroscopic and measured in nanometers 43 Viruses have two main shapes: cubical/icosahedral ( 4 Viruses are large enough to be seen with electron microscopes in the lab 45 Viruses are living intracellular parasites because they do cause disease round and helical long

Explanation / Answer

31 ) True

The technique is used to test the microbial sensitivity towards an antimicrobial drug and likewise.

32) false

Most of the natural antibiotics are dervied from bacteria and fungi , that act against protozoa , fungi or bacteria.

33) true

The natural antibiotics are derived from the fungi and bacteria , that act against other microorganisms such as bacteria , fungi and protozoa

34) true

The synthetic antibiotics are prepared in the laboratories by human using dyes and chemicals. These antibiotics can then be used on different microorganisms.
