Bacterial cells are markedly different from eukaryotic cells in
many aspects. Differences in these cells are the foundation of drug
development as researchers look for ways to combat bacterial
infections in humans. For this unit’s Discussion, imagine that you
have been asked to design a drug that will target and destroy a
broad spectrum of bacteria. You will need to identify two cellular
parts of a prokaryotic cell (e.g., ribosomes, etc.) as targets for
this drug.

What two cellular structures would you target? Why did you
choose these targets?

Would your drug be harmful to human cells? Why or why not?

Would this drug also be effective against parasitic and fungal
infections? Why or why not
