- Please provide an example of a water-borne pathogen. Please provide the genus and species of the pathogen, along with the name of the illness the pathogen causes in humans.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is a reason that specific pathogens tend to infect specific tissues? Most tissues are resistant to microbial exotoxins There are chemical and physical differences between tissues. Microbes preferentially target external tissues, such as skin, as the environment is more favorable for their growth than inside the body. Tissues with neutral pH are colonized but those with acidic or alkaline pH are not.arrow_forwardWhat would our plate look like if no aseptic techniques were used to place the antimicrobial disks on the platearrow_forward
- Bacteria have a single circular chromosome while human cells have 46 linear chromosomes. This means bacteria are considered half lloyd having only one copy of each gene.arrow_forwardwrite out a detailed summary on E.Coli. Questions below will help yu frame your summary. Please describe the bacterium. What is its shape and size? Is it Gram-positive or negative? Pictures are always fun! If you can find a microscopic image – include it. What is/are the reservoir(s)? e.g. water, food, human, etc. Are there parameters needed for infection? (Temperature, pH) What is/are the mode(s) of transmission. If it's foodborne - is it linked to a specific food? How many cases occur each year? In the US and/or worldwide and/or in the County where you live Has it caused any outbreaks or epidemics? Thank you-arrow_forwardWhich aspects of a microbial disease make it more likely to cause an outbreak? In other words, what advantages do these microbes have that others do not? Use an example of at least one outbreak in your description. 2. What measures are taken in the United States to prevent outbreaks from occurring? 3. What disease not prevalent in the United States do you think has the potential of causing a major outbreak in the United States? Name at least one reason to support your assertion.arrow_forward
- Which of the following is NOT a true statement about microbial infections and disease? 1. Some infections are caused by normal microbiota acting as opportunistic pathogens 2. For some infections, a portion of infected people may never develop any signs or symptoms of disease 3. The time between the effective exposure and appearance of the very first signs or symptoms is called the incubation period 4. None of the other four answers (All are true statements) 5. All infectious diseases are communicable; i.e., they can be transmitted between hostsarrow_forwardThis microbe is resistant to the following anti microbials? Which apply?
