Answer:

The correct answer is - Susceptible organism and mechanism of action

Step-by-step explanation:

1. susceptibility is a term utilized when microorganisms, for example, microscopic organisms and fungi can't develop within the sight of at least one antimicrobial medications. susceptibility testing is performed on microscopic organisms or parasites causing a person's infection after they have been recovered in a culture of the specimen .

A bacterial strain is supposed to be helpless to a given anti-microbial when it is restrained in vitro by a concentration of this medication that is related with a high probability of therapeutic achievement.

2. According to their primary actions on microbial cells, antimicrobial antibiotics can be divided into four categories: 1. Inhibitors of the biosynthesis of the bacterial cell wall 2. Inhibitors of the bacterial protein synthesis 3. Inhibitors of the nucleic acid metabolism 4. Alteration of Cell Membranes.
