One player suffered a career-ending infection to his foot and sued the team owners for $20 million for unsanitary conditions that contributed to the bacterial infection. A settlement with undisclosed terms was reached in 2017. MRSA is highly contagious and is spread by direct skin contact or by airborne transmission and can result in amputation or death. In addition, MRSA is very difficult to treat because it is resistant to many antibiotics. For example, β-lactamβ-lactam antibiotics, such as penicillin, function by binding to and inactivating bacterial penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which synthesize the bacterial cell wall. However, MRSA expresses an alternative type of PBP, called PBP2a encoded by the mecA gene. β-lactamβ-lactam antibiotics only weakly bind PBP2a, and thus cell wall synthesis can continue in their…arrow_forward1) In an experiment, the smaller the sample size, the more credible the results of the study.

Based on the information in the case, what is the most likely neuroanatomic location for a single lesion that can explain all of the patient’s symptoms and signs? In your own words, explain how you arrived at that localization. 2.What are some possibilities for the nature of the lesion (e.g., stroke, tumor, trauma, etc.)? In your own words, explain your rationale for these options. 3. How does the laboratory data and neuroimaging demonstrate the actual lesion for the patient?
