A bacterium has the following characteristics:∙ It adheres to the human intestinal lining using a feature that protects it from phagocytes, bacteriophages, and dehydration∙ It can survive being boiled∙ It contains no plasmids and relatively little peptidoglycanWhich of the following statements best describe the cell wall of this bacterium?
Group of answer choices
A. Its innermost layer is composed of a phospholipid bilayer.
B. After it has been subjected to Gram staining, the cell should remain purple.
C. It has an outer membrane of lipopolysaccharide.
D. It is mostly composed of a complex, cross-linked polysaccharide.
A clinical microbiologist is studying a microbe that can cause infections and gastrointestinal disease in humans, and which can also survive and reproduce in mice. A dormant cyst form of the microbe infects human hosts through fecal-oral transmission if they come in contact with mouse droppings and don’t wash their hands before eating. The organism grows in long filaments when grown at 20-28 deg C, and forms round/ovoid cells when grown at temperatures above 28 deg C. Sexual reproduction (fusion of haploid gametes) occurs in both humans and mice. A cell wall is present, and cells contain nuclei. This microbe could be which of the following?
Bacterium
Fungus
Virus
Protozoan
Joseph, a 29 years old man, went to a local health clinic with complaints of intermittent diarrhea for a few months and trouble sleeping. A stool specimen was collected and preserved in 10% formalin and PVA. An O&P examination was performed, along with a permanent trichrome stain. The stain revealed the organism shown below that measured 10 um in diameter, with a large, centrally located vacuole and small red nuclei within the peripheral ring of cytoplasm.
