Which population should not be given bacteriostatic antibiotics?arrow_forwardGiven that antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria are a concern to the general health of a population, what can be done to prevent their development?arrow_forwardYou infect bacteria with two phages during a cis test. This produces a lysate that contains phage particles. Before you can count outcomes, you need to work out the amount of phage to use in subsequent experiments. You start by making two ten- fold serial dilutions of the lysate and then add 1mL of the final diluted lysate to a plate of permissive strain e.coli. You observe 10 plaques. How many phage per mL were present in the original lysate? a. 10 phage/mL o b. 3,300 phage/mL c. 10,000 phage/mL o d. 1,000 phage/mL e. 33 phage/mLarrow_forward
