1.Explain the concept of selective toxicity.
2. Trace the development of penicillin antimicrobials, and identify which microbes they are effective against.
3.Describe the action of beta-lactamases, and explain their importance in drug resistance.
4.Identify the targets of several antibiotics that inhibit protein synthesis.
5.Identify the cellular target of quinolones, and provide two examples of these drugs.
6.Discuss two possible ways that microbes acquire antimicrobial resistance.
7. Distinguish between drug toxicity and allergic reactions to drugs.
8. List five cellular or structural mechanisms that microbes use to resist antimicrobials.
