He was appointed to a ward in Vienna’s most modern hospital, the Allegemeine Krankenhaus. He noticed that in his ward, patients were dying at a rate that far exceeded that of the other wards, even the wards with much sicker patients. Semmelweis observed the situation for several weeks, trying to figure out what was different about his ward as compared to all others in the hospital. He finally determined that the only noticeable difference was that his ward was the first one that the doctors and medical students visited after they performed autopsies on the dead. Based on his observations, Semmelweis hypothesized that the doctors were carrying something deadly from the corpses upon which the autopsies were being performed to the patients in his ward. In other words, Dr. Semmelweis exercised the first step…arrow_forwardMicrobes and humans. 1. At what age is an individual considered to have their full complement of normal resident microbiota? 2.

(To answer this question, identify the antibiotic, distinguish between the fungus and the antibiotic, explain where the antibiotic came from, and explain how people knew the antibiotic had antibiotic properties.) Give an example of a strain of bacteria (Genus and species) that is now resistant to commonly used antibiotics (identify the specific antibiotic). Describe the physiological mechanism used by individual bacteria to resist the antibiotic listed in part “3” of this Thought Question. For example, the mechanism could be modification of drug, modification of target, prevention of drug penetration, overproduction of target, or target mimicry. (This means that you must choose a strain of bacteria that we know the characteristic of the bacteria that allows the bacteria to be resistant.)
