drug resistance. Because of drug resistance there are new ways of treating catheter associated urinary tract infections. Cranberry juice and cranberry extract consumed by women may interfere with microorganism attachment. Silver alloy catheters have also been shown to effect the adherence of microorganism. Silver also minimizes the formation of biofilm and migration to the bladder. Bacterial lysate is another UTI prevention method‚ which is a vaccine that introduces a small amount of E. coli into

lab A. Define the term selectively toxic. Why 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
