Governor’s University When antimicrobials are used to treat an infection‚ the antimicrobial used is based on selective toxicity. Selective toxicity is when the agent selected kills or inhibits the bacteria without causing serious harm to the host. The agent must interact with a function or structure of the microbe that is not present or is very different from the host. There are two different types of antimicrobial agents: antibiotics and antimicrobial chemicals. Antibiotics are substances

uniquely to a given antimicrobial makes it necessary to have methods‚ which provide researchers and clinicians with measurable susceptibilities. This need has become prevalent since the rising of later generations of antimicrobial compounds achieved by chemical modifications of the naturally occurring antibiotics. By utilizing the Kirby-Bauer method‚ researchers and clinicians are able to determine the susceptibility of given microorganisms to different antibiotics and antimicrobials. While antibiotics

Antimicrobials were created and are used “to destroy disease-causing microbes”(cdc.gov). That means that antimicrobials fight and destroy organism such as bacteria. We use antimicrobials to clean are house and protect ourselves from bacterias. One example of an antimicrobial that we use in our home is bleach. Bleach contains the ingredient hypochlorous acid.

It can survive for a prolonged period under a wide range of environmental conditions. This organism has caused outbreaks of infection and health care associated infections. Some infections include bacteremia‚ pneumonia‚ meningitis‚ urinary tract infection and wound infection

is it an important feature of antimicrobial agents? Selective toxicity is the ability of a chemical or drug to kill a microorganism without harming its host. Selective toxicity is important to microbial agents because it enables these agents to inhibit or kill a microorganism by interacting with microbial functions or structures different from those of the host thereby showing little or no effect to the host. B. What are broad and narrow spectrum antimicrobials? What are the pros and cons of

The optimum conditions for this to occur are pH 7. Nisin is a polycylic antibacterial peptide with 34 amino acid residues used as a food preservative.It is produced by bacterium and which contains antimicrobial activity and which is known as a bacteriocin. Nisin has been found to have properties that can control spoilage caused
