Question

Label the image to assess your understanding of how microbes acquire antimicrobial resistance. Binding site on target (ribosome) is altered so drug has no effect. Penicillinase Specialized membrane proteins are activated and continually pump the drug out of the cell. The drug has blocked the usual metabolic pathway, so an alternate unblocked pathway is used. The receptor that transports the drug is altered, so that the drug cannot enter the cell. Active drug pump Inactivation of a drug by an enzyme. Differently-shaped receptor
