Why do antibiotics that interfere with cell wall synthesis have a high specificity and are more likely to be low in toxicity to host organisms?
They have a high specificity because the main target with regard to bacterial cell wall synthesis is peptidoglycan. This is not endogenous to humans and thus drugs which interfere with cell wall synthesis in bacteria are rather specific. The normal types of drugs that act in this way are penicillins or beta lactam drugs. They are bacteriocidal as they break down cell walls of existing bacteria. There exact mechanism of action is; they bind to the binding sites on bacterium and inhibit the transpeptidation enzyme that cross links the peptide chains attached to the backbone of the peptidoglycan. Penicillins can however cause some side effects and are not completely without toxicity (n.b. anaphalatic shock). Resistance caused by beta lactamase enzymes is of great prevalance nowadays and to get around this combination drugs which incorporate beta lactamase inhibitors as well as penicllin are used. e.g. augmentin = amoxycillin + clavulamic acid
Why aids spread so fast?
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is caused by a virus known asHuman Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). HIV is contagious and can be transmitted from person to person. HIV can be transmitted during sexual contact, sharing contaminated needles, from mother to child through breast milk or during birth. HIV has also been spread as the result of contaminated blood products. Africa is a country where education is low and for a long time the leaders of the various countries did not want to know about it. Africa was also a country with a promiscuous attitude towards sex so the spread of aids moved rapidly. Add to this the number of wars the amount of slavery and the resulting rapes that take place ind we end up with a tragic scenario.

How does a person defend the Catholic Faith?
Defense of the Faith is called "Apologetics", or the act of explaining and expounding Catholic teachings and doctrines according to Faith and reason. The best way to do so if first to know your Faith, at least the basic catechism, and if time, sources and skill allow, also history, exegesis, philosophy and theology. The next step is to know where your questioner or opponent is coming from; if you understand their position as well as or even better than they themselves, you will be better able to give relevant information to their queries or attempts to refute or defame the Catholic Faith. The third thing is to be confident in the prevalance of the Truth. Often people who seek to defend their Faith do so with emotion, allowing it to become personal and thus the main impetus of their apologetics is force of personality - often this is also the reason they believe in their own religion, because it must be true since they believe it to be so. This kind of belief shows a lack of depth and spiritual understanding. By being well educated and resigned to your limitations and to the fact others have free will to choose, you will be able to calmly and clearly explain the Catholic Faith to the best of your ability. Last, but certainly not least, all Catholic action, such as apologetics, must be backed up by prayer. If you are not praying, you delude yourself. Prayer is essential for the spiritual strength of your own soul and convictions as well as a necessity to gain graces for those with whom you may speak concerning the Faith. Even if the above action is absent in your life, or you do not have the time or ability to explain the Faith to others well, you will do more by prayer than the greatest of preachers.
