Summary Introduction

To determine:

The reason why scalded skin syndrome is dangerous.

Introduction:

Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogen that cause disease in human and animals. It causes a wide variety of skin-infections and life-threatening systematic conditions. They cause secretion of certain exotoxins related to particular diseases, such as enterotoxins, shock syndrome toxin-1 and exfoliative toxins. Such toxins are responsible for most of the S. aureus infections in humans and animals.

Some strains of Staphylococcus aureus cause the production of exoflavin toxin. The exoflavin toxin is a chemical which causes removal of the entire layer of the skin in a disease called scalded skin syndrome.

Students have asked these similar questions
From your previous experiment, you found that this enhancer activates stripe 2 of eve expression. When you sequence this enhancer you find several binding sites for the gap gene, Giant. To test how Giant interacts with eve, you decide to remove all of the Giant binding sites from the eve enhancer. What results do you expect to see with respect to eve expression?
What experiment could you do to see if the maternal gene, bicoid, is sufficient to form anterior fates?
You’re curious about the effect that gap genes have on the pair-rule gene, evenskipped (eve), so you isolate and sequence each of the eve enhancers. You’re particularly interested in one of the enhancers, which is just upstream of the eve gene.  Describe an experimental technique you would use to find out where this particular eve enhancer is active.
