Attached below is the study about the effects of handwashing and the effectiveness of soap against bacteria. What conclusions can be generated from this result?
A
C
before washing hands
10 second hand wash
B
D
hot water only rinse
30 second hand wash
Figure 8: Agar plates with bacteria A) before washing hands B) after rinsing hands in hot water C) After washing
hands with soap for 10 seconds and D) after washing hands for 30 seconds. Images show that the number of
bacteria on the plate are not greatly reduced after a hot water rinse or 10 second handwash but bacterial levels are
reduced after a proper hand wash for 30 seconds.
A patient that received a knee replacement implant is experiencing high fever,
inflammation, and pus secretion near the incision area. Laboratory test results
indicate a bacterial infection and due to the patient’s recent surgical history, it is
determined that the infection is a consequence of a bacterial contaminated prosthesis.
a. How would you suggest these bacteria survived on the prosthesis?
b. Enlist two techniques to prove your hypothesis. Please give me the answer quickly I will give you upvote

His methods established four criteria that must be met for a specific pathogen to be considered the cause of a disease. These four criteria are listed below. Discuss in detail how Warren and Marshall fulfilled each criteria. a. The pathogen should be found in the bodies of animals having the disease. b. The suspected pathogen should be obtained from the diseased animal and grown outside the body. c. The inoculation of that pathogen, grown in pure cultures, should produce the disease in an experimental animal. I d. The same pathogen should be isolated from the experimental animal after the disease develops. 31arrow_forwardWhat is an original research? Do you think the following are ideas that may be considered as original? Support your answer with logical reasons in each case : a. Investigation of size of bacterial cells b.
