Concept map of antimicrobials
Draw a concept map using the words in the list below. Then write a paragraph summarizing your map – it should be clear from your summary that you understand the meaning and significance of each term on the list, and where it fits into the overall concept.
(Your diagram may take any form – flow chart, circle diagram with a central theme and others radiating out from it, etc – as long as it shows how the terms relate to each other and to the main idea. The only unacceptable format is a list of definitions)

An antimicrobial is a substance that kills or inhibits the growth of microbes such as bacteria (antibacterial activity) known as antibiotics, fungi (antifungal activity), viruses (antiviral activity), or parasites (anti-parasitic activity). An antibiotic is a drug that kills or prevents the growth of bacteria. They have no effect against viruses, fungi, or parasites. Antibiotics can be categorized based on their target specificity: "narrow-spectrum" antibiotics target particular types of bacteria, such as Gram-negative or Gram-positive bacteria, while broad-spectrum antibiotics affect a larger range of bacteria. They either attach DNA replication and transcription, or cell wall synthesis or protein synthesis.
