Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 2CAE
Between April 1 and May 15 of one year. 22 Children in three states developed diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. The children had each received pet ducklings. Gram-negative facultatively anaerobic bacteria were isolated from both the patients and the ducks feces; the bacteria were identified as serovar C2. What is the genus of these bacteria?

Baker part 2: The next day, the local newspaper reported an outbreak of "projectile vomitting" within
the neighborhood surrounding the bakery.
Public health microbiologists, through food surveys, discovered all those ill had bought and/or eaten
cream pies or cream puffs made by the baker.
The public health microbiologists cultured the cream from the cream puffs and pies, results below:
Blood agar plates incubated aerobically (note clearing around colonies):
Gram stain: round purple cells
Growth on MSA below:
Nodules found on the roots of leguminous plants like soybeans harbor bacteria that fix nitrogen. These nodules are an
example of the intimate and specialized partnerships that have been established over time between prokaryotes and
eukaryotes. Coevolution maintains these types of relationships because both participants benefit. Plants receive biologically
useful forms of nitrogen needed for growth, and the bacteria reside in an oxygen-free environment required by enzymes
involved in the nitrogen-fixing process.
Humans also maintain intimate associations with beneficial bacteria and even archaea. In fact, the prokaryotic cells in and
on human bodies outnumber the eukaryotic human cells by tenfold, according to some estimates. These microbial
inhabitants help humans digest food, provide essential vitamins absorbed by the intestines, and even impact the immune
system.
The microbes that coevolve with plants arrive by infection of root tissue. The microbiota that coevolve with humans…
