Once these pathogens enter the host the difference in environmental conditions signals for them to germinate and turn into growing cells. Compare Inhalation anthrax (Bacillus anthracis) to Tetanus (Clostridium tetani). Besides endospores used in transmission, what is a simple explanation to help explain how each microbe survives and grows in each location?
Consider the given bacterial growth curve (X axis is time, Y axis is log number of viable cells). At which time point would you expect the greatest sensitivity (ability to be killed) by a drug like penicillin? 100 120 NO 20 time (minutes) O 100 minutes O 45 minutes O 15 minutes O 140 minutes Log a of viablk cells

Bacillis brevis are lysed using a valve-type homogenizer. The extent of disruption depends on the applied pressure and the number of passes through the homogenizer chamber and can be described by the equation, ln(1 − ?) = −????. Is Bacillis brevis a gram-positive or gram-negative bacterial cell? Based on this response, describe the cell wall structure and how it differs from the other type. Develop an equation for calculation of pressure as a function of the number of passes through the homogenizer. What factor(s) did you take into consideration when selecting the number of passes? Escherichia coli cells are lysed with the same homogenization, is this organism gram-positive or gram-negative? What impact does increasing the value of the constant, a, have on the required number of passes at a given pressure? What factors impact the value of a?

A clinical microbiologist is studying a microbe that can cause infections and gastrointestinal disease in humans, and which can also survive and reproduce in mice. A dormant cyst form of the microbe infects human hosts through fecal-oral transmission if they come in contact with mouse droppings and don’t wash their hands before eating. The organism grows in long filaments when grown at 20-28 deg C, and forms round/ovoid cells when grown at temperatures above 28 deg C. Sexual reproduction (fusion of haploid gametes) occurs in both humans and mice. A cell wall is present, and cells contain nuclei. This microbe could be which of the following? Bacterium Fungus Virus Protozoan
