Q

How does antibiotics obtain selectivity toxicity?

A
  • Antibiotics target cellular differences btw the host & the pathogenic microbe
  • E.g., penicillin inhibits the cell wall which is not in the mammalian cells

Q

Explain the Therapeutic ratio (index)

Selective Toxicity

A
  • Ratio of the toxic dose to the effective dose of the drug, e.g., TI=LD50/ED50 (high LD, low ED)
  • Differs for each antimicrobial agent, i.e., some more toxic than others
