ANTIMICROBIAL CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC AGENTS QUIZ

Interfere with normal nucleic acid synthesis

Interfere with nuclear division by preventing the aggregation of microtubules needed for mitosis

Interfere with ergosterol biosynthesis and thus alter the structure of the cytoplasmic membrane as well as the function of several membrane-bound enzymes like those involved in nutrient transport and chitin synthesis
