Clinical application: A 44-year-old man with HIV is receiving antibiotics through a intravenous
catheter. The antibiotics are to help treat a kidney infection. The patient develops a fever.
Subsequent cultures from the patient's blood, the needle tip, and from the insertion site all show
growth of an organism with large oval-shaped cells. The cells reproduce by budding.
(a) What is your guess about the identity of the pathogen?
(b) How do you think the antibiotics may have contributed to this outcome?
(c) What do you think the portal of entry was for this pathogen?
what is plaque essay? what is the purpose of this lab?
why this lab is perform? (bacteriophage)
what techniques is used and how can we derive
information(data)?
methologies, theory, mechanism for reactions that lead to
observable results.
required information on microbial metabolism.
why is the microbe doing this?
Expline in detail, what is Mishandling cell storage case?

Since not every antibiotic is effective against every type of bacteria, knowing what caused a particular infection allows us to make correct prescriptions so patients can recover more quickly. Knowing the cause of an infection also prevents antibiotic resistance as well, since incorrect prescriptions allow bacteria to be unnecessarily be exposed to antibiotics, increasing the chances of developing resistance.arrow_forward
