Consider the photos here which demonstrate antibiotic sensitivities of Staphylococcus aureus strains as determined by the Kirby-Bauer method. Abbreviations are as follows: C = chloramphenicol; CC = clindamycin; CZ = cefazolin; E = erythromycin; NOR = norfloxacin; OX = oxacillin; P = penicillin; RA = rifampin; SAM = sulbactam-ampicillin; SXT = sulfatrimethoprim; TE = tetracycline; VA = vancomycin.
Imagine that only two cellular changes occurred in the original strain (the first image, on the top) that resulted in the resistance pattern of the strain in the second image (on the bottom). Which combination of mechanisms could explainthese results?Choose one or more:
A.expression of efflux pumps
B.overproduction of PABA
C.production of β-lactamase
D.altered penicillin-binding protein
E.modification of either 50S or 30S ribosomal subunits
F.altered DNA gyrase

- A culture of S. cerevisea has an overnight OD of 2.3 (1.0 OD is approx 1.0x107 cells/ml) You will be plating 100µl onto agar and want the final count of colonies on the plate to be around 300 colonies. How much of the 2.3 OD culture must you use to get a 500µl subdilution (with sterile water), so that you have diluted enough to get approx 300 colonies per 100ularrow_forwardWhich among the groups would be affected when the pH is 6.5, and what antibiotic panel will be affected the most.

Explain. b. the etiologic agent of gastric ulcers, Helicobacter pylori? Why would this activity be advantageous in this environment?arrow_forwardIdentify which antibiotic was used per set-up (see figure). Describe the result in the graphs provided to help you explain your answer. Listed below are some essential information.Antibiotic A: 0.5 kDa protein, targets peptidoglycanAntibiotic B: 20 kDa protein, targets peptidoglycanAntibiotic C: Cationic antimicrobial peptideAntibiotic D: Targets lipopolysaccharideStaphylococcus aureus: gram-positive bacteriumVibrio cholera: gram-negative bacteriumMethanosarcina: an archaean bacteriumCationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs): these positively charged antibiotics are attracted to the negatively charged cell wall and membrane. They are hydrophobic, and they insert into the membranes to create pores.arrow_forward

You have an overnight culture that you want to know the starting concentration of, so do a set of six 1:10 serial dilutions (putting 1 mL from the stock into a 9 mL blank), with tube #1 being 1:10, #2 is 1:100, etc. You plate 0.1 mL from tube 5 onto a blood agar plate and the next morning count 134 colonies. How many bacteria (measured in CFU/mL) were in the overnight culture flask? A. 1.34 x 10^4 CFU/mL B. 1.34 x 10^5 CFU/mL C. 1.34 x 10^6 CFU/mL D. 1.34 x 10^7 CFU/mL E. 1.34 x 10^8 CFU/mL F. cannot tell based on the data given - you'd need to know the volume of the original culture flaskarrow_forward
