Florida State University Microbiology Discussion

I’m working on a microbiology discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Pick two of the following to discuss

• Explain the diagnostic methods used in identifying unknown organisms (ie: microscope, metabolic, etc).
• List differences between pathogens (fungi, bacteria, protozoan, etc) that could be a selective target for drug treatment.
• Describe the modes of action of antimicrobial drugs (ie: cell membrane, cell wall, protein synthesis, etc). Please provide an example drug for each.
• Explain how antiviral drugs work and how do they differ from other organisms’ treatment?
• Discuss antimicrobial resistance. Be sure to include the mechanisms used by organisms and the implication on treatment options.
• Discuss the methods used to select appropriate drugs (ie Kirby Bauer). Why is it important for the clinician to select the most appropriate drug?
• Discuss the misuse of antibiotics in the clinical setting. How does this misuse play a role in antibiotic resistance?

There is no specific word count, just be sure to include references. It;s just a simple discussion, which means a couple sentences.
