Summary Introduction
To determine:
The effect of mutation occurred in E. coli that detected the gene for an adhesion, on the ability of E. coli to cause urinary tract infection.
Introduction:
When bacteria enter into the urinary tract through the urethra it causes urinary tract infection (UTI).

A) Demonstrate that the bacterium belongs to the pathogenic lineage B) Demonstrate that the bacterium is not able to live outside of humans or animals C) Isolate bacterium from an infected sick animal and demonstrate that it is the same bacterium as the one used for infection D) Isolate bacterium from an infected sick animal and demonstrate that it is susceptible to broad spectrum antibiotics.arrow_forward
- Scientists at the SEA Phages lab were asked to find a phage that might infect a strain of M. abscessus that is infecting a young patient. Because the scientists did not have any phages known to infect M. abscessus, they first tested M. smeg phages that are also known to infect M. tuberculosis to see if they could infect this specific strain of M. abscessus. Why did they start with those phages? Select the best answer. O Phages that infect M. tuberculosis will also infect M. abscessus O The phages have already been FDA approved for use in phage therapy O Phages that infect two different hosts have a broader host range and are more likely to be able to infect a third host (such as M. abcessus) O The phages are lytic, which makes them good candidates for phage therapy O More information is known about the genomes of these phages than other phagesarrow_forwardWhy are protease inhibitors an effective treatment forhuman AIDS?arrow_forwardIn a petri dish with solidified agar with escherichia coli, enterobacter aerogenes and staphylococcus aureus, you streak a loopfull of lytic T4-phage in a single line onto the center of the the dish, how do you know if bacteriophage infected the bacteria. why didn't the bacteriophage infect all 3 bacteria?arrow_forward
