Question
Answer the following questions in full sentences and paragraphs
1. Diagram (draw) the Acid fast cell wall. Be
sure to label specific components of the
structure. What are the clinically relevant
features of the acid fast cell wall? How
does culture of Acid fast bacteria differ
from Gram positive and negative
bacteria? How does the structure of the
acid fast cell wall promote pathogenesis
in tuberculosis?
2. Diagram (draw) the Mycoplasma
pneumoniae cell. What cell wall type, if
any, does Mycoplasma have? Explain why
this species will not be seen on Gram
stain evaluations. Which groups of
antibiotics will be ineffective against
Мусоoplasma?
3. Construct a table to compare and
contrast Gram positive, Gram negative,
Acid fast, and Mycoplasma cell wall
structures or lack thereof. Include
peptidoglycan thickness, specific
structures within the peptidoglycan for
each group (LTAS, LPS, OM, mycolic acid
layer, O-linked side chain). The table can
be filled out with a series of + and –
symbols.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Since there are multiple questions in this particular question, I will answer the first one for you. if the answers for other parts are intended please post the question separately.

Acid fast bacteria are the type of bacteria that causes tuberculosis and certain other infections. tuberculosis affects the lungs and other parts of the body including the brain kidneys and the spine.

The acid fastness is the basic physical property of certain bacterial strains that have resistance to decolorization by acid during laboratory staining procedure.
