Summary Introduction

Case summary:

Mr. White is diagnosed with cerebral palsy and is suffering from severe skeletal muscle spasms due to cerebral palsy. The drug, dantrolene, prevents the release of Ca2+ from SR (sarcoplasmic reticulum) is prescribed to him to manage his muscle spasms.

Characters in the case:

Mr. White – the cerebral palsy patient.

Adequate information:

Mr. White is suffering from cerebral palsy. He complains of severe skeletal muscle spasms brought on by his condition. He is prescribed dantrolene, a drug that can preventthe release of Ca2+ from the SR.

To determine:

The rationale behind using a drug that can prevent the release of Ca2+ from SR, in the management of skeletal muscle spasms of a cerebral palsy patient.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for?  3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
