Bacteria have to do this kind of complicated metablus. They make it themselves. So we can block the ensymes that make the folit for the bacteria, so that the bacterial loses its ability to have precursors for its genetic creation. The one thing i'll add, because it condof does go with the anatomy of the bacteria, is a structure called a plasmed which is different. This is double stranded circular genetic material. It doesn't really play a role in directly the functionality of the bacteria. And an example of how it could be resistant to penecilon - it could produce ensymes to break that beetlactum ring so that it beetle act
