Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Incorporation of the drug into cell material is not a mechanism of antimicrobial drug resistance. The other options are all common mechanisms by which bacteria can become resistant to antimicrobial drugs. Enzymatic inactivation of the drug involves producing enzymes that destroy or modify the drug. Removal of the drug from inside the cell can occur through efflux pumps that actively pump the drug out of the cell. Blocking the uptake of the drug into the cell can be achieved by preventing its transport through the cell membrane. Alteration of the drug's target site involves changes to the cellular target that the drug binds to, rendering it less effective or completely ineffective.
