Question

Which of the following is a desirable general characteristic of antimicrobial drugs for a person suffering a generalized bacterial infection? Group of answer choices All of the choices are correct Selective toxicity Bactericidal rather than bacteriostatic Broad-spectrum of activity

Answer 1

All of the choices are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

A generalized infection is a very dangerous event that puts a person's life at serious risk. This type of infection can be described as an uncontrolled infection (usually generated by bacteria) that can spread throughout the body and affect, at the same time, several different tissues and organs, which can lead to bankruptcy, and, consequently, the death of the body.

The generalized infection is treated with antimicrobial drugs and as this infection is very serious, it is necessary that these drugs have a fast action and with selective toxicity, a wide spectrum of activity and that it is bactericidal instead of bacteriostatic (because it is necessary to kill the bacteria).
