Identify which antibiotic was used per set-up (see figure). Describe the result in the graphs provided to help you explain your answer. Listed below are some essential information.
Pathogenicity
Infection and Transmission
The infections are generated by the pathogenic organisms present in the environment. They maintain the capacity to invade a host body and establish colonies. A disease caused by such infectious agents is called a communicable disease or transmissible disease. These diseases spread through diverse means including blood, food, water, air, or vectors.
Identify which antibiotic was used per set-up (see figure). Describe the result in the graphs provided to help you explain your answer. Listed below are some essential information.
Antibiotic A: 0.5 kDa protein, targets peptidoglycan
Antibiotic B: 20 kDa protein, targets peptidoglycan
Antibiotic C: Cationic antimicrobial peptide
Antibiotic D: Targets lipopolysaccharide
Staphylococcus aureus: gram-positive bacterium
Vibrio cholera: gram-negative bacterium
Methanosarcina: an archaean bacterium
Cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs): these positively charged antibiotics are attracted to the negatively charged cell wall and membrane. They are hydrophobic, and they insert into the membranes to create pores.
