Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by mycobacteri
Individuals infected with M. tuberculosis can be treated with antit
Four of the antibiotics used to treat TB are shown in the table.
Antibiotic Mechanism of action:
| Inhibits the synthesis of a fatty acid
|[Soniazid | needed to make bacterial cell walls
Rifampicin | Inhibits bacterial RNA polymerase
| jn | Binds to bacterial ribosomes to
| Streptomycin | prevent the binding of tNA
| Not yet known, but not the same
Pyrazinamide | mechanisms asthe other three
| antibiotics
In one clinical trial lasting six months, the effect of treating TB with these antibiotics was
investigated.
All patients were treated with all four antibiotics for two months. Then they were treated with
different pairs of antibiotics or isoniazid alone for a further four months.
All patients were free of any signs of active TB at the end of the clinical trial.
‘The design of the trial and the percentage of these patients with TB three years after the trial
ended are shown in the diagram.

In 1993 the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared TB a global public health emergency.
Since then, there has been a programme to reduce the impact of this disease.
Analyse the data to deduce the effectiveness of this programme.

(b) An investigation of the effectiveness of different antibiotics on Clostridium difficile was
carried out by a hospital laboratory. Several nutrient agar plates, containing C. difficile, were
prepared.
Four discs, A, B, C and D, were placed on the surface of each plate. Each disc contained the
same concentration of a different antibiotic.
The diagram below shows the position of the four discs on each agar plate, before being
incubated.

After incubation, the scientists in the laboratory concluded that C. difficile was completely
