Infection and Transmission

The infections are generated by the pathogenic organisms present in the environment. They maintain the capacity to invade a host body and establish colonies. A disease caused by such infectious agents is called a communicable disease or transmissible disease. These diseases spread through diverse means including blood, food, water, air, or vectors.

Question

A phagehunter performs a spot titer using standard techniques (3 ul of each dilution spotted to lawn) of a lysate obtained from an optimum webbed plate experiment. The phagehunter counts 8 plaques on the 10-7 dilution spot. Which of the following scenarios is the best choice for the phagehunter to do next? a.) The phagehunter has not achieved a high enough titer lysate to move forward with characterization experiments, so they should go back to the pick-a-plaque experiment. b.) The phagehunter has not achieved a high enough titer lysate to move forward with characterization experiments, so they should adopt a phage from direct isolation. c.) The phagehunter has not achieved a high enough titer lysate to move forward with characterization experiments, so they should try to make more optimum webbed plates. d.) The phagehunter has achieved a high enough titer lysate to move forward with characterization experiments.
