A(n) ___________ drug is defined as a substance that kills
bacteria. Most of these bacteria are produced by microbes
themselves as a defense mechanism to outcompete other

ways: Correct Answer 1. some bacteria pump an antibiotic out
of cells as fast as it enters so it never reaches a lethal
concentration inside the bacterial cell
2. bacteria block its lethal effect with proteins that bind to
antibiotic molecule
, 3. bacteria have enzymes that break down antibiotic molecule
and use components as fuel for faster growth and division
