Which of these best demonstrates mutualism between certain types of bacteria and humans? Bacteria in improperly prepared food is consumed by humans, causing food poisoning. O Intestinal bacteria obtain nutrients from the gut and produce vitamin K used by humans. O Bacteria become resistant to antibacterial medication that humans use for treatment. Invasive bacteria at an area of injury produce toxins that damage healthy tissues of the human body. 3 4
There have been recurring cases of mad-cow disease in the United Kingdom since the mid-1990s. Mad-cow disease is caused by a prion, an infectious particle that consists only of protein. In 1986, the media began reporting that cows all over England were dying from a mysterious disease. Initially, there was little interest in determining whether humans could be affected. For 10 years, the British government maintained that this unusual disease could not be transmitted to humans. However, in March 1996, the government did an about-face and announced that bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), commonly known as mad-cow disease, can be transmitted to humans, where it is known as variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (VCJD). As in cows, this disease eats away at the nervous system, destroying the brain and essentially turning it into a spongelike structure filled with holes. Victims experience dementia; confusion; loss of speech, sight, and hearing; convulsions; coma; and finally death. Prion diseases are always fatal, and there is no treatment. Precautionary measures taken in Britain to prevent this disease in humans may have begun too late. Many of the victims contracted it over a decade earlier, when the BSE epidemic began, and the incubation period is long (VCJD has an incubation period of 10 to 40 years). A recent study concluded that 1 in 2,000 people in Great Britain carry the abnormally folded protein that causes VCJD. In spite of these numbers, the death rate from VCJD remains low. It is not clear whether this means that the incubation period for the disease is much longer than previously thought, or whether they may never develop the disease. How can a prion replicate itself without genetic material?

In 1887 a strange nerve disease attacked the people in the Dutch East Indies. The disease was beriberi.Symptoms of the disease include weakness and loss of appetite, victims often died of heart failure.Scientists thought the disease might be caused by bacteria. They injected chickens with bacteria fromthe blood of patients with beriberi. The injected chickens became sick. However, so did a group ofchickens that were not injected with bacteria.One of the scientists, Dr. Eijkman, designed a new experiment based on his ownobservations. Before the experiment, all the chickens had eaten whole-grain rice, butduring the experiment, the chickens were fed polished rice. Dr. Eijkman researchedthis interesting case and found that polished rice lacked thiamine, a vitamin necessaryfor good health.1. State the question or problem that Dr. Eijkman investigated. 2. What was the original hypothesis? 3. What was the manipulated (independent) variable and the responding (dependent) variable? 4. Write a…
The worldwide spread ofmultidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogenicbacteria has becomean urgent threat to human and animalhealth. More than two million people inthe United States become infected withantibiotic-resistant bacteria each year, andmore than 23,000 of them will die fromtheir infections. In 2015, approximately480,000 cases of MDR tuberculosisoccurred worldwide and another 100,000cases were resistant to at least one antibiotic.In the United States, cases of drugresistantenterobacteriaceae infectionsincreased three-fold between 2001 and2012. In 2016, a woman in Nevada died ofa Klebsiella pneumoniae infection caused bya strain that was resistant to 26 differentantibiotics, including colistin, which is consideredthe “last resort” antibiotic.One factor leading to the spread ofMDR bacteria is the selective pressurebrought about by repeated exposure toantibiotics. Worldwide, livestock consume used as feed supplements. The routineuse of antibiotics in livestock feed and theoveruse of human…

It is a substance produced by microorganisms It is a substance produced totally by chemical synthesis It is a substance produced partially by chemical synthesis JEANETEN SEER E It is a substance produced by our immune system in response to a pathogen OIt kills or inhibits the growth of micro-organisms
Which of the following options best describes the process of selection for antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the presence of an antibiotic? Antibiotic resistance occurs when the human body resists an antibiotic; the bacteria are not under selective pressure Antibiotic-resistant cells are naturally stronger, so they always take over in the presence of antibiotic- sensitive cells Antibiotics kill off sensitive cells, while resistant bacteria survive and multiply O In the presence of antibiotics, most bacterial cells react by becoming resistant before they start dividing again MacBook Air DD 000 80 F9 000 F8 F7 F5 F6 F3 F4
In a series of infection experiments, a researcher discovers that the ID50 value for the infectious bacterium Parasiticum mucoides is 2,000, and that the ID50 for another infectious bacterium, Donoteatum thisbacterium, is 150. Given these data, a person exposed to 1,000 bacteria of each type would be more likely to be infected by which bacterium? O Parasiticum mucoides O Both infections are equally likely Donoteatum thisbacterium There is no way to know given the information provided MacBook Air DD F9 80 000 000 F8 F7 F6 F5 F4 F3 *
Because of overuse of antibiotics and/or weakened governmental surveillance of infectious disease, several diseasesthat had been thought to be no longer a threat to humanhealth (e.g., pneumonia and tuberculosis) are rapidly becoming unmanageable. In several instances, so-called superbugs(microorganisms that are resistant to almost all known antibiotics) have been detected. How did this circumstancearise? What will happen if this process continues?
