Studentka2010 [4]3 years ago
4 0
PCPs (primary care physicians) are gatekeepers because they treat the while patient and manage referrals to specialists, rather than a patient deciding which specialist's opinions are sought. this concept became popular with the adven advent of HMOs - and services would only be paid if the PCP sought approval for major diagnostic tests and referrals. PCPs were financially rewarded if their patient population had fewer expensive tests and/or referrals.

Answer:

c)peptidoglycan synthesis and cell walls

Explanation:

The main points of action of antibiotics are inhibition of bacterial cell wall peptideoglycan synthesis, cytoplasmic membrane damage and interference with nucleic acid and protein synthesis.

The bacterial cell wall is formed by peptideoglycan. Penicillin and other antibiotics prevent its complete synthesis, consequently weaken the cell wall and the cell lyses. Because human cells lack peptideoglycan, penicillin has low toxicity to the host cell. The synthesis of peptideoglycan components is affected by β-lactam antibiotics (penicillins and cephalosporins).

For this reason, we can conclude that the antibiotics described in the above question are those that target peptidoglycan and cell wall synthesis.
