How many times more ampicillin does it take to treat
e. coli that has ndm-1? (hint: convert the % of wild type to how many more times ampicillin is needed.)?

Respuesta :

Answer;

-According to the data, all antibiotics requires 100% concentration to kill E.coli. So, about 100-10,000% (10^-2 to 10^-4) concentration of ampicillin is required to kill to kill E.coli.

Explanation;

-Ampicillin is a penicillin antibiotic that fights bacteria. Ampicillin is used to treat or prevent many different types of infections such as bladder infections, pneumonia, gonorrhea, meningitis, or infections of the stomach or intestines.

-A concentration of 0.125mg/mL  effectively inhibits the growth of the bacteria at 7.5mm, it is an effective dosage to treat a patient with E.Coli infection. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) should be taken to reduce the issue of antibiotic resistance.

The amount of ampicillin needed is dependent on the degree of antibiotic resistance of E. Coli

Antibiotic resistance

The term antibiotic resistance refers to the ability of a microbe to defy an antibiotic drug. This is becoming a common clinical problem worldwide leading to the development of new antibiotics.

The data set is not shown here. However, the amount of ampicillin needed is dependent on the degree of antibiotic resistance of E. Coli
