Short Answer Question: Imagine that you are a clinical microbiologist interested in Lyme Disease. This disease is caused by one species of bacterium, which is well-known and well-studied. You want to see if the bacteria that cause this disease may persist in the human body after people are treated for the disease. You have 30 blood samples from different people treated for Lyme Disease, and you want to determine which samples still have the bacteria that can cause Lyme Disease in them. Part 1: Describe one test (or one type of test) that could show in one step whether or not these samples contain the one species of bacterium that causes Lyme Disease. Explain why this test would be useful for you to detect the bacteria in these samples. Part 2: Describe another test that would NOT be able to quickly detect one species of bacterium in these samples. Explain why this test would not be a good choice for your goal of rapidly screening samples for one species of bacterium.
