Neosporin consists of neomnycin, bacitracin, and polymyxin B. Which
component(s) can inhibit Gram positive bacteria and which can inhibit Gram
negative bacteria ? Discuss briefly why it is better to use 3 different
antibiotics than just one at the same time.

- About becterial enzymes, it is CORRECT to affirm that: a). Some becterial enzymes can help the microbe fight the immune system, by destroying lgA.b). Coagulases are enzymes that use the host's fibrinogen and form a semi-solid get that isolates amd protects the bacteria.c). Some bacterial enzymes such as hyaluronidase can help the microble move through the host's tissus by destroying the tissue's components.d). Fibrolysin is an enzymes that can help from blood clots.arrow_forwardAn elderly man with influenza acquires a case of pneumonia.

Describe 2 biochemical tests that can be used for the definitive diagnosis. b. Describe 2 virulence factors of this pathogen and implicate them in diseases.arrow_forward(c) Public health scientists wanted to investigate the effect of ionising radiation on the growth of Salmonella typhimurium in the presence of antibiotics. They grew bacterial colonies of Salmonella typhimurium in petri dishes labelled A, B and C. The Petri dishes were kept at 36°C for 48 hours, with scientists observing the bacteria every 24 hours. The results for this investigation are below. Petri dish A B с Treatment Was subjected to ionising radiation followed immediately by a dose of antibiotic X An equal amount of antibiotic X was added (as was added to Petri dish A) Was given neither ionising radiation nor antibiotic X After 24 hours Small spots of growth on surface No growth Growth across whole surface After 48 hours (ii) Identify the purpose of petri dish C. Large spots of growth on surface No growth Growth across whole surface (i) Explain the effect of the ionising radiation on the bacteria. (iii) Explain why scientists must continue to develop new antibiotics.arrow_forward
