Summary Introduction
To review :
The ethical issue to be considered while an attempt is being made to move the acid resistance system from Escherichia coli and Vibrio cholerae.
Introduction:
Vibrio cholerae which is the causative bacteria for cholera disease is a halophilic, comma-shaped, Gram-negative bacteria. This bacterium has pili along with flagellum at one pole. These bacteria are halophile and hence, can tolerate alkaline medium, whichis usually intolerable for intestinal bacteria. However, Vibrio cholerae is sensitive to acid.

- Choose one infectious disease from the list below and use the chain of infection to analyze how it is spread. A. Please provide a comprehensive description of cholera. B. Describe the chain of infection cholera. The chain of infection for the chosen infectious disease must clearly include the following: 1. Identification of a) the pathogen, b) the reservoir c) means of transmission d) the susceptible host 2.

A treatment method developed during the last outbreak involved patients who have recovered and then donated plasma to patients fighting an active infection. It is a remarkable treatment, with potential ethical dilemmas. Now, many people are attempting to turn to convalescent plasma treatments in lieu of vaccinations. There are articles on both Ebola and COVID-10 convalescent plasma use. Read the articles below, feel free to do more research on your own on the topic. Using the information in the lesson, the articles, and your own research, answer the following questions: 1) What are the potential ethical issues for donors, recipients, and medical providers? 2) What rules and stipulations should be applied to it's use, given that there is a limited supply for use in treatment? 3) Would you use this treatment for yourself or a loved one?
