Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Disruption of selective toxicity is not considered a mode of action of antimicrobial agents. Selective toxicity is a property of antimicrobial agents that allows them to selectively target and kill microorganisms while leaving host cells unharmed. It is not a specific mechanism of action. The other three options (inhibition of protein synthesis, inhibition of cell wall synthesis, and inhibition of membrane permeability) are all well-established modes of action for antimicrobial agents.
