Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 6RQ
Bacterial transformation is a major concern in many medical settings. Why might health care providers be concerned?
- Pathogenic bacteria could introduce disease-causing genes in non-pathogenic bacteria
- Antibiotic resistance genes could be introduced to new bacteria to create “superbugs. ”
- Bacteriophages could spread DNA encoding toxins to new bacteria
- All of the above.

- One of the reasons why phage therapy has not been applied widely is that bacteria can become resistant to bacteriophages as well, through mutations in genes encoding for specific proteins. What would be a protein in the bacterial cell that, if mutated, would make that cell resistant to phage infection?arrow_forwardIn which of the four processes shown can material from a bacterial genome be transferred from one cell to another? Which are forms of horizontal transmission? Place the answer(s) in the cell highlighting that process. Partial genome transfer by DNA uptake Transformation Answer Bank material from a bacterial genome horizontal gene transfer Conjugation Plasmids Conjugation Genome Plasmid transfer during conjugation Partial genome transfer during conjugation Virus Transduction Transfer as part of viral genomearrow_forwardBacterial conjugation has medical consequences. For example, certain plasmids contain genes that code for toxins. The causative agent of a deadly form of food poisoning, E. coli 0157, synthesizes a toxin that causes massive bloody diarrhea and kidney failure. This toxin is now believed to have originated in Shigella, another bacterium that causes dysentery. Similarly, the growing problem of antibiotic resistance is partly attributable to the spread of antibioticresistant genes among bacterial populations. Antibiotic resistance develops because antibiotics are overused in medical practice and in livestock feeds. Suggest a mechanism by which this extensive use promotes antibiotic resistance.arrow_forward
- When an E. coli donor cell duplicates a strand of plasmid DNA, and passes this DNA strand to a recipient E. coli cell, without the use of naked DNA in solution or of a viral vector, this is: an example of horizontal gene transfer by means of lysogenic bacteriophages an example of horizontal gene transfer by means of lytic bacteriophages an example of horizontal gene transfer by means of transformation an example of horizontal gene transfer by means of transduction an example of horizontal gene transfer by means of conjugationarrow_forwardThe clustered, regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) system is like a bacterial adaptive immune system. After a bacteria is infected by a bacteriophage, CRISPR prevents the same type of phage from infecting the cell in the future by... integrating a phage DNA fragment into the chromosome, and transcribing it into a short RNA that binds a Cas nuclease to target and destroy invading phage DNA. modifying the attachment sites on the cell so the phage can't bind. O recognizing a molecule on the phage's surface and secreting a protein that prevents the phage from binding to the cell. recognizing a protein on the phage's surface and secreting an enzyme that destroys the phage.arrow_forwardIn Figure 5-2, in which of the four processes shown can acomplete bacterial genome be transferred from one cellto another?arrow_forward
- Recent scientific studies show that the plasmid plays a vital role in gene transfer not only in the field of bacteriology but microbiology on the whole. Give a detailed account of how bacterial gene transfer can be carried out as Medical Laboratory Scientist.arrow_forwardDrug resistance in a population of bacteria is inevitable for all of the following reasons EXCEPT.. O Bacteria share genetic material through gene transfer mechanisms of conjugation, transformation and transduction. OBacteria quorum sensing leads to the activation of drug resistant genes. O Bacterial drug resistance genes generally have inducible promoters that are activated when the drug is present. Bacteria mutate rapidly because of radiation and chemical mutagens.arrow_forwardPlease help understandarrow_forward
- E. coli Hfr cells can transfer genes to F cells. can form sex pili (F pili). typically do not transfer their entire genome during conjugation. carry the F plasmid in their chromosome. All of the abovearrow_forwardBacteria exposed to viruses incorporate sections of the virus’s DNA into the CRISPR array sequences in their genome. This mechanism allows bacteria to fight off the viruses, like an immune response: the information in CRISPR spacers served as “coordinates” for recognizing and cutting up invading DNA sequences. Describe what might happen under the conditions described after a bacteriophage infects a bacterial cell and releases its DNA into the bacterial cell. Explain why: 1. The invading phage DNA is recognized by the Cas proteins but not inserted into the CRISPR array region of the bacterial genome: The bacteria will be unable to elicit an immune response and will succumb to the phase infection 2. The cas genes on the bacterial genome contains a missense mutation that increases its cleavage/cut activityThe bacteria will elicit an immune response that will successfully fight the phage infectionarrow_forwardE. coli Hfr cells Choose an answer below: can transfer genes to F- cells. can form sex pili (F pili). typically do not transfer their entire genome during conjugation. carry the F plasmid in their chromosome. all of the abovearrow_forward
