Explain the cellular functions that occur when antibiotics attack a bacteria cell
It's a very long thing. They are two procedures by which the antibiotic attacks the bacterial cells. One is by interfering with the bacteria's ability to repair its damaged DNA, by stopping the bacteria's ability to make what it needs to grow new cells, and the other is by weakening the bacteria's cell wall until it bursts.
there are 2 basic mechanism of action of antibiotics 1.Inhibits protein synthesis of the bacteria or - Inhibit bacterial growth that does not kill the bacteria -requires immune mechanism to eliminate the germs -less effective in immune compromised individual 2. Inhibits bacterial cell synthesis -kill the bacteria - more active against rapidly dividing cells
