For example, you may want to discuss: the distribution/expression of the relevant cell surface receptor or other factors modulating viral entry, or you may want to focus on the environment in a specific niche that makes it conducive for infection by the virus. You can also choose to research a tangential topic like how tropism is considered in vaccine development. thank you-arrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardPlease try to answer both.Will give a like.Thanksarrow_forward.
