1. A patient comes into the hospital complaining of having symptoms that looks like to be a streptococcal infection. When treated at the hospital it was determined the patient has streptococcus. However, after a 3-day hospital stay the patient is now infected with P. aeruginosa. How is this possible? How did this pattern of infection take place? Talk about the immune system and the reasoning behind the P. aeruginosa infection.

Be sure to talk about the cholera outbreak in London and how he was able to determine how everyone was falling ill. 2.The bubonic plague is a disease caused by Yersinia pestis that infects your lymph nodes into dark-colored, swollen, and painful buboes, hence the name.

Remember to include each postulate in your own words and the describe what was done for this postulate specifically for the plague

New research suggests a link between some microbes that normally live in the body and seemingly unrelated major illnesses. The gum disease called periodontitis itself is not life-threatening, for instance, but it is a fairly good predictor for heart attacks. Bacteria that cause gum disease can trigger inflammation. Thinking back to your reading in Chapter 7, how do you suppose that this response also may be harmful to the heart?
