Questions and Answers

What is the main problem that the rule of penetration aims to address?

  • Identifying chemical features for bacterial penetration
  • Developing broad-spectrum antibiotics
  • Overcoming the barrier of Gram-negative bacterial envelope (correct)
  • Establishing a rule for human cell penetration
  • What is the objective of identifying the chemical features of compounds that enable penetration across Gram-negative bacterial cells?
