Question

Which of the following is effective against mycoplasmal diseases?

• A. Vancomycin
• B. Penicillin
• C. Chloramphenicol
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Chloramphenicol

Chloramphenicol is effective against mycoplasmal disease as these organisms are bounded by a triple-layered membrane and also do not have a rigid cell wall thus are not susceptible to antibiotics like penicillin but require broad spectum antibiotics like chloramphenicol which though cannot kill them but inhibits their multiplication.

So, the correct answer is option C.
