By what mechanisms has S. pneumoniae developed resistance to erythromycin? Select one: O a. Mutation in the tetM gene, which leads to a confrontational change in the ribosomal subunits, preventing the antibiotic from recognising the target. O b. Alterations in the 23S FRNA target sites due to mutation in ermB gene and active drug efflux encoded by the mefE gene. O c. Mutation in the parC gene and/ or gyrA gene can prevent the antibiotic from recognising its enzyme targets. O d. None of these answers e. Alterations in the membrane proteins, leads to decreased affinity between the drug and the proteins.

nich TWO of the following statements about Extended Spectrum ß-lactamases are CORRECT? O Extended Spectrum ß-lactamases can inactivate all B-lactam antibiotics except third generation antibiotics in this family. O Genetic material encoding for extended spectrum ß-lactamases are easily transferred to other bacteria via transduction. O Extended Spectrum ß-lactamases are frequently produced in Klebsiella sp. and Escherichia coli strains. O Many Extended Spectrum ß-lactamases are not inhibited by clavulanic acid and other B-lactamase inhibitors. OSome Extended Spectrum ß-lactamases-producing E. coli are still sensitive to penicillins. OA new class of Extended Spectrum ß-lactamases has emerged and these have been widely detected among S. epidermidis. O Extended Spectrum ß-lactamases are not effective against the cephalosporin family of antibiotics.
A researcher discovered Suramin as a potent and selective inhibitor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis RecA protein and the SOS response. What would be the outcome if the action of RecA was inhibited during the SOS response? O LexA would not autolyse, and therefore the transcription of DNA repair genes would not occur; the bacteria would likely not survive. O LexA would autolyse, and therefore the transcription of repair genes would not occur; that would be lethal to the bacteria. LexA would autolyse, and therefore the transcription of DNA repair genes would occur; and the bacteria will be susceptible to antibiotics. LexA would not autolyse, and therefore the transcription of repair genes would occur; essentially that would be lethal to the bacteria.

O Point mutation in which one nucleotide was changed. O Point mutation in which a length of nucleotides were changed. O A frame shift mutatuion which resulted from an insertion.
Scientists IPed a mutant version of KDM3A with serine 264 altered to aspartic acid (dubbed S/D mutation). They IPed S/D in cells that had not been subjected to heat shock (HS-) or heat shock (HS+). 1) what is the purpose of mutating serine-264 to aspartic acid? 2) what conclusions can scientists make based on results of lane5 and lane 6?
Assume that a mutation occurs in the gene that encodes RNA pol II. What would be the effect of the mutation?
The streptolysin S toxin made by S. pyogenes is encoded by a 9-gene operon, sagABCDEFGHI. Thinking about what a 3-line diagram would look like for this operon, answer the following questions. Write numeric answers only. For example, if your answer is 6 promoters, write only 6. 1) How many promoters control the expression of these genes? 2) How many locations does RNA Polymerase bind to get full expression of these genes? 3) How many ribosome binding sites are needed for full protein expression? 4) How many start codons will be needed for full protein expression? 5) How many mRNA strands will be produced with full operon expression? 6) How many proteins will be produced with full protein expression? 1

The structure of a prodrug used for treating people with HIV virus (human immunodeficiency virus) and AIDS is shown below. This molecule is a precursor of a protease inhibitor that competitively inhibits HIV protease due to its resemblance to the proteolytic site of the enzyme. Which process in the viral life cycle does this inhibitor target directly ? Group of answer choices a. viral protein processing for making new viruses b. viral mRNA synthesis c. viral DNA integration into the host cell DNA d. viral DNA synthesis
Explain the basis for tRNA synthetase genes in B. subtilis regulated by T-box RNA leaders.
In the treatment of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a possible mode of therapy is to inhibit the reverse transcriptase (RT) of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), whcih is required for the retrovirus to be propogated by RNA-directed DNA synthesis. In the figure below, one of the substrates for RT is thymidine; and two drugs, AZT and HBY097 are known to inhibit HIV RT> (a) Thymidine; (b) AZT; (c) HBY097 Look at the structures and predict the type of inhibition (i.e. competitive or non-competitive) likely to be shown by each drug. By using knowledge on enzyme, plan an experiment that would enable you to confirm the type of inhibition by investigating enzyme kinetics and explain how you would interpret the results.Remarks: Not more than 250 words.
Various antimicrobial drugs to treat microbial infection have diverse mechanism of action. Consider the following antimicrobial drugs: A. Seconeolitsine, known as DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor in bacteria. (i) Explain briefly how inhibiting DNA topoisomerase I is a good mechanism of action for an antibiotic, include possible molecular machineries being targeted. (ii) What would be an appropriate response if seconeolitsine works well by stating the state of supercoiling in bacteria. (iii) To prove your answer (ii), you test the condition of bacterial DNA by running gel electrophoresis, one has been treated with seconeolitsine (+ sample) and the other one is not (- sample). Explain the position of each + sample and – sample band on the gel in reference to the point of origin (where you load your samples) or how far each DNA sample travel across agarose gel. (iv) Explain why you would expect answer (iii) for each + sample and – sample. B.…
