Researchers examined how sensitive and resistant a bacterium named Clostridium difficile was to four different antibiotics. Bacterial colonies were cultured on agar plates for 24 hours, and then a separate antibiotic was applied to each plate. The numbers of bacterial colonies that died, stopped increasing in size and kept growing were then recorded. A bacterial colony is a cluster of bacterial cells that has arisen from one bacterium. Which antibiotic would be the most suitable for treating a person infected with Clostridium difficile?
- Aampicillin
- Bclindamycin
- Cmetronidazole
- Dcefoxitin
