To describe: The treatment process for a person who is diagnosed with H. pylori infection and ulcer by analyzing Marshal and Warren experimental data.
Introduction: Ulcer is the breaking of the inner wall of the stomach which protects the cells from the acid produced in the stomach. In this situation, the patient feels inflammation and pain in the stomach. It can be controlled by giving antacids which provide sufficient time for the healing of cells.
To describe: Whether some ulcers can heal on their own.

- Question:- List and describe the infections caused by the organism Enterobacteriaceae.arrow_forwardAnswer the following questions in complete sentences and paragraphs. Draw the diagram by hand: Diagram the 5 step pathogenesis cycle for coli O157:H7, an extracellular, intestinal pathogen acquired by consuming contaminated food/water. Be sure to include the role of exoenzymes and the Shiga exotoxin in your diagram. Explain the pathogenesis of Listeria monocytogenes. Be sure to include temperature regulation, intracellular growth, and at risk groups in your discussion.arrow_forwardWithin six months of effectively using methicillin to treatS. aureus infections in a community, all new S. aureus infectionswere caused by MRSA. How can this best be explained?(A) A patient must have become infected with MRSA fromanother community.(B) In response to the drug, S. aureus began making drugresistant versions of the protein targeted by the drug.(C) Some drug-resistant bacteria were present at the startof treatment, and natural selection increased theirfrequency.(D) S. aureus evolved to resist vaccinesarrow_forward

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. Describe how one could break the chain of cholera, such as breaking the pathogen link, by providing a specific intervention. 3. Include references and relevant data.arrow_forward
- Nodules found on the roots of leguminous plants like soybeans harbor bacteria that fix nitrogen. These nodules are an example of the intimate and specialized partnerships that have been established over time between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Coevolution maintains these types of relationships because both participants benefit. Plants receive biologically useful forms of nitrogen needed for growth, and the bacteria reside in an oxygen-free environment required by enzymes involved in the nitrogen-fixing process. Humans also maintain intimate associations with beneficial bacteria and even archaea. In fact, the prokaryotic cells in and on human bodies outnumber the eukaryotic human cells by tenfold, according to some estimates. These microbial inhabitants help humans digest food, provide essential vitamins absorbed by the intestines, and even impact the immune system. The microbes that coevolve with plants arrive by infection of root tissue. The microbiota that coevolve with humans…arrow_forwardExplain the difference between enterohemorrhagic, enterotoxigenic,enteroinvasive, enteropathogenic, enteroaggregative, anddiffusely adherent strains of E. coli.arrow_forwardA parent calls to ask about giving a medication for diarrhea to his child, 12 years of age, who is recovering from the flu.

Explain the pathology going on here and provide apreliminary diagnosis.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT true about dental plaque?(a) It is an intermittently formed coating of microbes andorganic matter on tooth surfaces that serve as the firststep in tooth decay and gum disease.(b) It begins as positively charged salivary proteins adhereto negatively charged enamel surfaces, forming a pellicle(film) over the tooth surface.(c) Streptococcus mutans attaches to the pellicle where ithydrolyzes sucrose to fructose and glucose, or polymersof glucose that serve as bridges, holding together cells inplaque.(d) Plaque consists of up to 30 different genera of bacteriaand their products, such as polymers of glucose (dex-tran), saliva proteins, and minerals.(e) Plaque that is allowed to accumulate in crevices near thegumline can change into anaerobic pockets full of bacte-ria that can irritate the gums or destroy underlying bone.arrow_forward
