Correct Option: C
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are a type of staphylococcus or “staph” bacteria that are resistant to many antibiotics. Staph bacteria, like other kinds of bacteria, normally lives on skin and in nose, usually without causing problems. MRSA is different from other types of staph because it cannot be treated with certain antibiotics such as methicillin (as it is methicillin resistant). Biofilms formed by Candida albicans are resistant towards most of the available antifungal drugs. Therefore, infections associated with Candida biofilms are considered as a threat to immunocompromised patients. Also, the fungal pathogen Candida albicans is frequently associated with catheter-based infections
infections because of its ability to form resilient biofilms. Isoniazid is an organic compound that is the first-line medication in prevention and treatment of tuberculosis. Isoniazid is a prodrug and must be activated by a bacterial catalase-peroxidase enzyme that in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is called KatG.
Bacteriocins are the bioactive peptides produced by certain bacteria like lactobacillus lactis that inhibit the growth of other bacteria. It is a gram positive bacterium used in the production of milk and cheese.
