in the body and be desynthesized, cost effective w/ sufficient quantities
what do we mean by the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of an antibiotic and how
does MIC relate to potency? correct answer1) - MIC = lowest concentration of antibiotic
that can stop bacteria from growing; grow bacteria with less and less of the antibiotic
and the point where it doesn't work is right below the MIC
How do you measure the MIC of an antibiotic? correct answer1) - There are multiple
ways to measure it, paper disks (Kirby Bauer method, i think), growing in test tubes
, You isolate a new compound that effectively kills many bacterial species and s harmless
when administered to animals. upon further testing, you learn the compound is stable at
25C with a half life of days, but is unstable at 37C with a half life of minutes. Would this
compound make a good AB? Why or why not? - no, natural body temp is 37C so the AB
would immediately breakdown and not have an effect
