An antibiotic is a type of medicine that is used to treat certain diseases that are caused by bacteria. Doctor Inge uses Antibiotic A to treat athlete's foot, a condition caused by a fungus. Three days later, the patient comes back and reports no change in their condition. What can we conclude about fungi? Why doesn't the antibiotic work on the fungus that causes athlete's foo

The fungus is resistant to the antibiotic

The antibiotics did not work because antibiotics do not kill fungal infections.

Explanation:

According to this question, an antibiotic is a substance/medicine that combats bacterial-caused infections or diseases. In this case, an antibiotic A was used against a fungus that caused athlete's foot, however, there was no effective result recorded.

The fungi in this case can be said to be "RESISTANT" to the antibiotic used because antibiotics are specific to bacterial infections not fungal infections. Antibiotics only kill bacteria not fungi, hence, the antibiotic A used will have no effect whatsoever on the fungus causing the athlete's foot infection.

The alpha anomer of glucose easily converts to the beta anomer

Explanation:

The enzyme glucose oxidase isolated from the mold Penicillium notatum catalyzes the oxidation of β‑D‑glucose to D‑glucono‑δ‑lactone. This enzyme is highly specific for the β anomer of glucose and does not affect the α anomer. In spite of this specificity, the reaction catalyzed by glucose oxidase is commonly used in a clinical assay for total blood glucose, that is, for solutions consisting of a mixture of β‑D‑glucose and α‑D‑glucose. The alpha anomer of glucose easily converts to the beta anomer makes it possible for this test to measure total blood glucose.
