Question 4My ResponsePneumonia is a lung infection that can becaused by a species of bacteria,Streptococcus aureus. The antibiotic penicillinhas been used historically to treat bacterialpneumonia. In recent years, doctors haveobserved that penicillin is less effective astreatment for pneumonia.Doctors collected data about the percent of S.aureus bacteria that were resistant topenicillin. The graph shows the percent ofpenicillin-resistant S. aureus from 1940 to2010 in one hospital.Penicillin-Resistant S. aureus, 1940 to 201010080201940 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010YearPercent of S. aureus thatare Resistant to Penicillin Which of the following best describes thechange in the percent of penicillin-resistant S.aureus bacteria since 1940 ?The percent of resistant S.aureus grew exponentiallyfrom 1980 to 2010.The percent of resistant S.aureus doubled from 1950 to1960.The percent of resistant S.aureus reached its peak in1960.The S. aureus populationreached its carrying capacityby 1990.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive, round-shaped bacterium that belongs to the Bacillota family. It is a common member of the body's microbiota, particularly abundant in the respiratory tract and on the skin. It is a facultative anaerobe that can grow without oxygen which is often positive for catalase and nitrate reduction.
