A pharmaceutical scientist is developing a novel
antimicrobial agent intended for systemic use against a wide range of bacterial
pathogens. To be clinically successful, the compound must selectively target
bacteria while remaining safe for human tissues and be able to access
intracellular and periplasmic bacterial components.

Which set of physicochemical and pharmacological
properties would best support these goals?
