Across
  1. 4. inactivates beta lactam ring of certain antibiotics
  2. 7. amphipathic molecules, like soap, that aid in the physical removal of microbes
  3. 10. dormant bacterial cells, very difficult to kill
  4. 11. targets 50S ribosome, prevents ribosome from moving along mRNA
  5. 13. antibiotic that works on a wide range of bacteria
  6. 16. targets cell membranes, similar mode of action to isopropanol
  7. 18. targets cell wall, too large to get through outer membrane of gram negative bacteria
  8. 23. halogen, often used as an antiseptic, interferes with protein bonding
  9. 24. antibiotic that kills bacteria
  10. 27. removal of most microbes
  11. 29. heavy metal, inactivates enzymes
  12. 30. chemical used on surfaces/inanimate objects to kill or remove microbes
  13. 33. gaining new genes from a bacteriophage
  14. 34. produces free radicals, hydrogen peroxide belongs to this category,
  15. 36. removing all water to halt growth of microbes
  16. 37. antibiotic that works on a small number of bacteria
  17. 38. targets RNA polymerase, shuts down mRNA synthesis
  18. 40. blocks attachment of tRNAs
  19. 41. test to look at susceptibility of a bacterium to a chemical agent
  20. 42. removal or destruction of all microbes, including endospores
Down
  1. 1. active ingredient is alcohol, used on skin to remove most pathogens
  2. 2. using good bacteria to displace or prevent the growth of bad bacteria
  3. 3. using viruses that can infect bacteria to target bacterial infections
  4. 5. a type of phenolic, targets cell membranes/respiration
  5. 6. shuts down DNA replication in herpesvirus
  6. 7. targets 30S ribosome, causing misreading of mRNA
  7. 8. halts DNA synthesis in HIV infections
