As an illustration, a patient undergoing a laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) procedure under general anesthesia might be happier not to know the numbers of portals of entry for potential transmission of pathogenic microbes to which she will be subjected.

Which antimicrobial agents have the narrowest spectrum of action? antivirals antifungals beta-lactams sulfanilamidesBottom of Form Penicillin is a narrow spectrum antibiotic because it only affects bacteria with mycolic acid in its cell wall, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. it only affects viruses it only affects Gram-negative organisms it only affects Gram-positive organismsBottom of Form Which of the following antibiotics might be destroyed by beta-lactamase enzymes? amphotericin B and ciprofloxacin streptomycin penicillin ciprofloxacinBottom of Form Which is incorrect about how the pharmaceutical industry has discovered drugs over the past 100 years? The process of discovery has involved custom-designing chemical compounds that we know will bind to target enzymes. The process of discovery has involved screening for chemicals that are toxic to bacteria while being less toxic to human cells. The process of discovery has involved screening thousands of randomly…
