How many times more ampicillin does it take to treat e. coli that has ndm-1? (hint: convert the % of wild type to how many more times ampicillin is

Answer;

-According to the data, all antibiotics requires 100% concentration to kill E.coli. So, about 100-10,000% (10^-2 to 10^-4) concentration of ampicillin is required to kill to kill E.coli.

Explanation;

-Ampicillin is a penicillin antibiotic that fights bacteria. Ampicillin is used to treat or prevent many different types of infections such as bladder infections, pneumonia, gonorrhea, meningitis, or infections of the stomach or intestines.

-A concentration of 0.125mg/mL  effectively inhibits the growth of the bacteria at 7.5mm, it is an effective dosage to treat a patient with E.Coli infection. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) should be taken to reduce the issue of antibiotic resistance.

carbohydrates: (starches and sugars) composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

lipids: (fats, oils, and waxes) are made of carbon and hydrogen atoms.

nucleic acids: contain hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus. they are polymers of nucleotides. a nucleotide has three parts, a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate     (-po⬇️4) group, and a nitrogenous base.

proteins: made up of nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. they are polymers of amino acids.
