Textbook Question
Chapter 21, Problem 2CT
An epidemiologist notices a statistical difference in the fatality rates between cases or Gram-positive bacteremia treated with antimicrobial drugs and treated cases of Gram-negative bacteremia–that is, patients with Gram-positive bacteremia are much more likely to respond to treatment and survive. Explain one reason why this might be so.

A researcher created a group of osteoblasts with an Esp mutation that prevented the production of a functional Esp product (mutant).
