explain this graph
the red liine is the drug concentration in vivo. the break point is determined for each drug and is compared to minimum inhibitor concentration for each organism. if the MIC is below the break point the organism is susceptible if above the organism is resistant.

what is stage 2 in the cell wall synthesis of bacteria
insertion of petidoglycan into the cell wall via the enzyme transglycosidase
what is the stage 3 in cell wall synthesis of bacteria?
transpeptidase facilitates cross linking of the peptidoglycans to strengthen the cell wall. by binding a 5 glycine side chain of one to a D alanin of another.
how do beta lactams inhibit cell was synthesis
they irreversibly bind transpeptidase.
what is required for beta lactams to effectively kill bacteria
bacterial growth. if no new cell wall is being made then beta lactam will not be able to effect the cell
