The patient develops a fever. Subsequent cultures from the patient's blood, the needle tip, and from the insertion site all show growth of an organism with large oval-shaped cells. The cells reproduce by budding. (a) What is your guess about the identity of the pathogen? (b) How do you think the antibiotics may have contributed to this outcome? (c) What do you think the portal of entry was for this pathogen?arrow_forward
