The worldwide spread ofmultidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogenicbacteria has becomean urgent threat to human and animalhealth. More than two million people inthe United States become infected withantibiotic-resistant bacteria each year, andmore than 23,000 of them will die fromtheir infections. In 2015, approximately480,000 cases of MDR tuberculosisoccurred worldwide and another 100,000cases were resistant to at least one antibiotic.In the United States, cases of drugresistantenterobacteriaceae infectionsincreased three-fold between 2001 and2012. In 2016, a woman in Nevada died ofa Klebsiella pneumoniae infection caused bya strain that was resistant to 26 differentantibiotics, including colistin, which is consideredthe “last resort” antibiotic.One factor leading to the spread ofMDR bacteria is the selective pressurebrought about by repeated exposure toantibiotics. Worldwide, livestock consume used as feed supplements. The routineuse of antibiotics in livestock feed and theoveruse of human…
Imagine that you have been given several bacterial strainsfrom various countries around the world and that all thestrains are thought to cause the same gastrointestinal diseaseand to be genetically identical. Upon carrying out a DNAfingerprint analysis of the strains, you find that four differentstrain types are present. What methods could you use to testwhether the different strains are actually members of the samespecies?
Because of overuse of antibiotics and/or weakened governmental surveillance of infectious disease, several diseasesthat had been thought to be no longer a threat to humanhealth (e.g., pneumonia and tuberculosis) are rapidly becoming unmanageable. In several instances, so-called superbugs(microorganisms that are resistant to almost all known antibiotics) have been detected. How did this circumstancearise? What will happen if this process continues?
As described in Figure, host DNA is hydrolyzed into smallpieces, which are occasionally assembled with phage proteins, creatinga phage with bacterial chromosomal DNA. If the breakage ofthe chromosomal DNA is not random (i.e., it is more likely tobreak at certain spots as opposed to other spots), how might nonrandombreakage affect cotransduction frequency?
In a series of infection experiments, a researcher discovers that the ID50 value for the infectious bacterium Parasiticum mucoides is 2,000, and that the ID50 for another infectious bacterium, Donoteatum thisbacterium, is 150. Given these data, a person exposed to 1,000 bacteria of each type would be more likely to be infected by which bacterium? O Parasiticum mucoides O Both infections are equally likely Donoteatum thisbacterium There is no way to know given the information provided MacBook Air DD F9 80 000 000 F8 F7 F6 F5 F4 F3 *
Groups 9, 10, and 11 all had H1N1 variants that caused a largenumber of infections at the same time in Taiwan. Does this meanthat the scientists’ hypothesis, that new variants cause new wavesof infection, was incorrect? Explain your answer.
Katelyn had been working for Dr. Johnson for a month, and while she had become quite good at measuring inhibitionzones, she didn’t know why she was doing all this work. She had gotten very curious after she began doing all themeasurements on a new set of antibiotics. # is experiment involved infecting mice with MRSA and tracking how theMRSA grew over time.Data were collected by counting the cells of MRSA taken from $ uid samples from the mice. # e cells were measuredby taking one gram of the $ uid and spreading it over plates, but now Katelyn counted the colonies that grew on theplate after 24 hours. Because there were so many, she actually measured the colonies as “log CFU/g.” A CFU is acolony forming unit, or essentially a cell that will divide into a colony that can be seen. Because there can be so many,Katelyn measured them on a logarithmic (log) scale. # e raw data in her lab notebook looked like the following:Table 1. E% ect of treatment on MRSA in mice after 24 hours of drug…

It appears that infection by Plasmodium is negative for Anopheles. We also showed in class that the mosquito immune system can be upregulated to limit or terminate Plasmodium infection of these mosquitoes. So why don’t we see natural selection to upregulate the mosquito’s immune system and get rid of that parasite? Best explanation. Upregulating the immune system comes at the cost of shortening life span and thus (most probably) reproductive success Having a Plasmodium infection is negative for the mosquito, but it protects against much worse pathogens Upregulation of the immune system in Plasmodium leads to more rapid development of Plasmodium, causing even greater problems for Anopheles Statement is wrong. This upregulation was done with genetic engineering in a lab. Alleles to do something like that do not exist in nature
In 1887 a strange nerve disease attacked the people in the Dutch East Indies. The disease was beriberi.Symptoms of the disease include weakness and loss of appetite, victims often died of heart failure.Scientists thought the disease might be caused by bacteria. They injected chickens with bacteria fromthe blood of patients with beriberi. The injected chickens became sick. However, so did a group ofchickens that were not injected with bacteria.One of the scientists, Dr. Eijkman, designed a new experiment based on his ownobservations. Before the experiment, all the chickens had eaten whole-grain rice, butduring the experiment, the chickens were fed polished rice. Dr. Eijkman researchedthis interesting case and found that polished rice lacked thiamine, a vitamin necessaryfor good health.1. State the question or problem that Dr. Eijkman investigated. 2. What was the original hypothesis? 3. What was the manipulated (independent) variable and the responding (dependent) variable? 4. Write a…
