Question 59

Multiple Choice

Table 20.3 The following data were obtained from a broth dilution test:
 Concentration of Antibiotic  X  Growth 2.0μg/ml1.0μm/ml0.5μg/ml0.25μgl/ml+0.125μg/ml+0+\begin{array}{|l|}\begin{array} { c | c } \hline \text { Concentration of Antibiotic }\\ \text { X } & \text { Growth } \\\hline 2.0 \mu \mathrm { g } / \mathrm { ml } & - \\\hline 1.0 \mu \mathrm { m } / \mathrm { ml } & - \\\hline 0.5 \mu \mathrm { g } / \mathrm { ml } & - \\\hline 0.25 \mu \mathrm { gl } / \mathrm { ml } & + \\\hline 0.125 \mu \mathrm { g } / \mathrm { ml } & + \\\hline 0 & + \\\hline\end{array}\end{array}
Bacteria from the 0.25 μg/ml tube were transferred to new growth media
Containing antibiotic X with the following results:
 Concentration of Antibiotic  X  Growth 2.0μg/ml1.0μm/ml+0.5μg/ml+0.25μgl/ml+\begin{array}{|l|}\begin{array} { c | c } \hline \text { Concentration of Antibiotic }\\ \text { X } & \text { Growth } \\\hline 2.0 \mu \mathrm { g } / \mathrm { ml } & - \\\hline 1.0 \mu \mathrm { m } / \mathrm { ml } & + \\\hline 0.5 \mu \mathrm { g } / \mathrm { ml } & + \\\hline 0.25 \mu \mathrm { gl } / \mathrm { ml } & + \\\hline\end{array}\end{array}
The data in Table 20.3 show that these bacteria


A) are pathogenic.
B) developed resistance to antibiotics.
C) were killed by 0.125 μg/ml of antibiotic X.
D) were killed by 0.5 μg/ml of antibiotic X.
E) were resistant to 1.0 μg/ml at the start of the experiment.
