Across
  1. 3. this spectrum is Antimicrobials effective against a limited array of microbial types
  2. 5. are the bacteriophage enzymes that lyse/kill bacteria
  3. 7. these cells are eukaryotic, present special problems in drug treatment
  4. 9. all inclusive term for any antimicrobial drug, regardless of its origin
  5. 12. use of a drug to prevent infection of a person at risk
  6. 14. the goal for this is to administer a drug to an infected person that destroys the infective agent without harming the host’s cells; NO SIDE-EFFECTS
  7. 17. this technique/test is more sensitive and quantitative than the Kirby-Bauer test
Down
  1. 1. these viruses target bacteria very specifically
  2. 2. this spectrum is Antimicrobials effective against a wide variety of microbial types
  3. 4. a system found in bacteria that can cause very specific cuts in resistance genes (dsDNA) to deactivate them
  4. 6. these drugs are chemically modified in the lab after being isolated from natural sources
  5. 8. the smallest concentration of drug that visibly inhibits growth
  6. 10. this should be considered before antimicrobial therapy (of the microorganism causing the infection)
  7. 11. these drugs produce entirely by chemical reactions
  8. 13. The closer the effective dose is to the toxic dose the more risky drug treatment is considered ___ TI.
  9. 14. are originally metabolic products of bacteria and fungi
  10. 15. The ratio of the dose of the drug that is toxic to humans compared to its minimum effective dose
  11. 16. this techniques first step is the surface of an agar plate is first spread with a measured amount of test bacterium
