To determine:
What problems must be considered to treat (drug therapy) the baby. What treatment would you guess was used for the infant?
Case summary:
A mother (Hispanic) brought her fragile son (infant) to an emergency room (Southern Texas). Her baby developed annexations and it was stabilized by the nurse. The boy diagnosed with tuberculosis, which severely affected his brain. Health-care workers revealed that his father and his uncle exposed TB to the baby, when the mom went to jail (Mexican) to meet both of them. His uncle was affected by drug-susceptible strain, whereas the jail inmates carried multi-drug resistant strain of TB. To determine which strain is infected the baby is a tedious one, because it will take weeks to come to a conclusion. Doctors must take a hard decision. Weather, the baby should be given a multi-drug-resistant strain (give painful consequences) or they should use a normal drug (less stressful drug).

- The Sentinel Cell: Nature’s Answer to Cancer?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Explain/discuss how “slow stop” and “quick/fast stop” mutants wereused to identify different protein involved in DNA replication in E. coli.arrow_forward
- Molecular Biology Question A gene that codes for a protein was removed from a eukaryotic cell and inserted into a prokaryotic cell. Although the gene was successfully transcribed and translated, it produced a different protein than it produced in the eukaryotic cell.
