Pharmacology Vet 202 Chapter Ten Study Guide

Question 1 of 25

Question 4 of 25

1

A strain of E. coli has been exposed to low levels of an antibiotic. The small number of remaining bacteria after this treatment results in a pathogen population that is more resistant to the antibiotic than prior to the treatment.

Select one of the following:

  • horizontal transfer.

  • Too many bacteria are killed with this combo therapy

  • Tetracycline use results in beta-lactam resistance

  • Sulfonamides are bacteriocidal drugs unless potentiated

  • Sulfonamides are effective against protozoal diseases

  • Some sulfonamides function as anti-inflammatories

  • Sulfonamides are becoming increasingly less effective because of bacterial resistance

  • Tetracycline–tooth discoloration

  • Tilmicosin–cardiotoxicity

Explanation

Select one of the following:

  • Osmotic agents such as mannitol

  • Antifungal drugs such as clotrimazole

  • Antiviral drugs such as interferon

  • Bacteriostatic drugs such as florphenicol

Explanation

Question 11 of 25

1

Select one of the following:

  • minimum incremental concentration.

  • minimum interfering concentration.

  • minimum inhibitory concentration.

  • minimum inhibitory chemical.

Explanation

Question 12 of 25

1

If a drug’s MIC is > MTD

Select one of the following:

  • The bacteria are considered to be susceptible to the drug

  • The drug concentration needed to inhibit the pathogen will not be safe

  • The drug will not be well tolerated

  • The drug will only inhibit the bacterial cycle

Explanation

Question 13 of 25

1
