Question
A list of pathogens (Group I) and a list of anti-microbial agents (Group II) used to treat their infections are given below. Match the pathogens with the corresponding anti-microbial agents.Group I Group II [P] Influenza A virus 1. Isoniazid [Q] Fungus 2. Amantadine [R] Plasmodium 3. Fluconazole [S] Mycobacterium 4. Artemisinin 5. Iodoquinol
The correct answer is
P-2, Q-3, R-4, S-1
Matching Pathogens and Anti-microbial Agents
The question requires matching specific pathogens with their corresponding anti-microbial agents used for treatment.
Pathogen-Agent Pairings
- Influenza A virus [P]: This viral infection is commonly treated with Amantadine [2].
- Fungus [Q]: Fungal infections are treated with anti-fungal agents like Fluconazole [3].
- Plasmodium [R]: This parasite, causing malaria, is effectively treated with Artemisinin [4].
- Mycobacterium [S]: This genus includes bacteria like Mycobacterium tuberculosis, treated with anti-tubercular drugs such as Isoniazid [1].
Solution Summary
Based on the standard treatments for these pathogens:
- [P] Influenza A virus matches with [2] Amantadine.
- [Q] Fungus matches with [3] Fluconazole.
- [R] Plasmodium matches with [4] Artemisinin.
- [S] Mycobacterium matches with [1] Isoniazid.
This corresponds to the pairing P-2, Q-3, R-4, S-1.
