Answer 14

Additive effect

Question 15

It is the type of effect that occurs when one antibiotic increases the effectiveness of the 2nd drug

Answer 15

Potentiative effect

Question 16

Answer 16

Antagonistic effect

Question 17

It is the type of therapy when a drug selected is known to be the best drug that can kill the MO. Experienced by a physician and evidence-based practice

Answer 17

Empiric therapy

Question 18

It is a type of therapy that once the MO is identified in the lab, the antibiotic therapy is tailored by using the most narrow-spectrum, least toxic drug based on C&S results.

Answer 18

Definitive therapy

It is the type of therapy that when signs and symptoms do not improve

Answer 19

Subtherapeutic

Question 20

This occurs when the antibiotics reduce or completely eliminate the normal bacterial flora

Answer 20

Superinfection
