The apparent contradiction, as given in a newspaper about gangrene states that the tissue-destroying toxin, lecithinase, is an “organic compound”. But many people consider “organic” chemicals to mean something good. Introduction: Gangrene is considered as a medical condition that involves the death of tissue caused by the lack of blood supply. Gangrene is caused due to common infection, wound, and long-term conditions which obstruct the blood supply towards the body parts. Gas gangrene is a severe form of gangrene, which occurred by bacterium Clostridium perfringens . This bacterium is Gram-positive, spore-forming and anaerobic that can produce organic gas. Clostridium perfringens bacterium enters into the body through soil, unhygienic conditions and open wounds. Gas gangrene causes the conditions of septic shock, muscle damage, necrosis and lysis of neutrophils. It leads to a serious medical condition.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for? 3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
