*If you correctly answer the question, I will provide a Thumbs Up to you.
Thank you.
I need help answering this question to my professor:
The topic for the discussion was this one:
Some potentially pathogenic bacteria and fungi, including strains of Enterococcus, Staphylococcus, Candida, and Aspergillus, can survive for one to three months on a variety of materials found in hospitals, including scrub suits, lab coats, plastic aprons, and computer keyboards. What can hospital personnel do to reduce the spread of these pathogens?
My answer was this one:
To reduce the spread of these pathogens an infection control protocol should be followed. Some ways in which this could be reduced is by using desinfectants, sterilization, hand washing, and disposing techniques. In addition, I currently work as a dental assistant at Jackson Main and the protocol we use is hand washing our hands for at least 20 seconds before and after seeing every patient. We use CaviWipes to disinfect every surface and autoclave every single instrument after every use. Also, we make sure to…

- Note that it is not appropriate to self-diagnose outside of a medical context and this is a completely hypothetical scenario. Imagine you have a rash on your foot. You're concerned that it's an infection and inoculate a sample onto an agar plate. You wonder, How can I figure out whether the pathogen is a bacterium vs a eukaryote? You decide to use lab supplies to get a basic understanding of the pathogen. Be specific about what tests you use and what you expect the results to be. Limit yourself to experiments we could do in our lab. What is one experiment you could do, involving culturing the organism?arrow_forwardNote that it is not appropriate to self-diagnose outside of a medical context and this is a completely hypothetical scenario.

Probiotics are live bacteria that balance good and bad intestinal bacteria and aid in digestion or digestive problems. For example, Lactobacillus species habituate where rich carbohydrate substances are available including the human digestive and urinary tracts. In 1900 lactobacillus acidophilus was isolated by Moro from infant feces and the intestinal tract of animals and humans. Also, it was reported in the feces of milk fed infants and older persons consuming high milk/lactose diets. This microbe is also found in plant materials and agricultural products particularly milk, cheese, fermented milk products and beverages such as wine and cider. Historically, Lactobacillus species is most often known to be capable of eliciting beneficial effects on the microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract. It helps the body break down food, absorb…arrow_forward
