The Making of the Flu Vaccine: An Example of a Live Growth Medium
Have you ever wondered why health care workers ask about allergic reactions to eggs prior to immunizing patients? Live attenuated vaccines are sometimes created by culturing a virus, such as the influenza virus, in live animals, often chick embryos. The virus is inoculated into fertilized eggs, which are then incubated to encourage the replication of large numbers of virus particles. The contents of the eggs are then collected and purified to create the vaccine.
Today, influenza vaccine preparations contain such low levels of egg protein trial they can be safely administered even in most individuals with allergies though it is recommended that they be medically monitored after receiving the dose. Vaccines in which the virus has been grown in cell culture, rather than in chicken eggs, are also available.
Q. Based on the information here, do you think that influenza viruses can infect (adult) birds? Why or why not?

Each of the following statement FALSE. Tell me what is incorrect with the statement and correct it when possible.
For example, if the statement says: the sky is red during daytime. You would answer: the sky isn’t red during daytime, it is blue.
a. Staphylococcus aureus use MreB proteins to organize their morphology (shape) into cocci.
b. Most bacteria will have maximum growth in a glucose-rich environment such as maple syrup.
c. The table below shows that Streptococcus pyogenes is a facultative halophile.
d. Your lab supervisor asks you to grow a new bacterium they got from a collaborator. You grow them in the suggested nutrient-rich media, and you notice that as the log phase growth progresses, the bacteria seem to turn purple.
You mention it to your supervisor and ask whether it is the gradient from very high to low nutrient bioavailability that induces metabolic changes which induces the production of a purple pigment. Your supervisor tells you that is unlikely. What is a more…
Development of Resistance to antimicrobial drugs:
What is the difference between a natural, semisynthetic, and synthetic antibiotic?
How was the first natural antibiotic discovered? (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.)

Why may some bacteria use extracellular enzymes to form blood clots?
View Available Hint(s) for Part H
The blood clots are a necessary food source for the bacteria.
Blood clot can hide bacteria from the immune system.
A blood clot leads to tissue necrosis or death, a necessary condition for infection.
The blood clots cause disease, which is the intended purpose of the bacteria.

The virus would become lysogenic and incorporate its genome into the host cell genome. The virus would enter the host by a combination of endocytosis and fusion.

The infection was monitored by looking for specific viral inclusions using anti- rabies fluorescein isothiocynanate at 24 hours after addition of virus.

Lily was a recent science graduate of the University of Alberta and was 11 months into her 12 - month Master of Science in Global Health degree, at Dalhousie University. This relatively new program was created to provide the multidisciplinary training required of scientists working to meet the complex challenges of global public health issues. The University had partnered with the National Collaborating Centre for Indigenous Health (NCCIH) and that was why Lily now found herself doing her Global Health Field Practicum in the Northern Territories, working on a study of drug resistant TB infections among Innuit communities. The different communities included in her research were close to 7000 individuals, with multiple diagnosed cases of TB. And while she was grateful that drug-resistant TB in Canada remained below the global average (Public Health Agency of Canada, 2019), she was cognizant of the possibility…arrow_forward
