Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed to screen a novel compound. The MIC was found to be 10ng/mL. Use the following data to determine the percent recovery for each treatment group. What is the MBC and would you describe the antimicrobial tested as static or cidal? Explain your answer. From this result, do you suggest further study of this compound as a potential antimicrobial agent and why? Percent Recovery Novel compound concentration Ong/ml 10ng/ml 20ng/ml 40ng/ml 80ng/ml 160ng/ml CFU/mL 3.4 x 105 2.4 x 105 6.4 x 104 1.4 x 104 4.4 x 103 0

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
