There are basically four mechanisms of microbial resistance

There are basically four mechanisms of microbial resistance. This activity asks that you drag the statement describing each mechanism to the appropriate area of the image that represents the mechanism. Drag each statement to the appropriate area of the diagram.

Solution

Mechanisms involved for microbial resistance in order are (from top to bottom);

1. Entry of antiniotic into the cell is blocked......To be filled in the top block.

2. Cellular enzyme inactivates an antibiotic......To be filled the (second from top) right corner block.

3. Target site to which antibiotic binds is altered........To be filled in the (third from top) left corner block.

4. Efflux mechanism pumps antibiotic out of the cell........To be filled in the last (bottom most) block.
