- Please answer fast How does specifically the growth rate of a bacterium relate to difficulties of clinical treatment of it? Hint: Try looking up the growth rate and treatment issues for Mycobacterium tuberculosis.arrow_forwardIf a patient suspected to have sepsis or meningitis, samples for bacterial testing should be taken before giving antibiotics. Explain why?arrow_forwardHello, Can you please help me with an overview of Microbemia. A description of the causative agent, A description of the mode of transmission, A description of the treatment for the disease, A brief overview of any preventative methods for transmission. (Without AI). Thank you in advance!arrow_forward
- Consider that you are working as a laboratory technician in a local hospital and three patients at brought to the laboratory who present with the following: a)symptoms of toxic shock syndrome resulting from food poisoning b) symptoms of respiratory disease associated with the diphtheria toxin c) symptoms of a sexually transmitted disease resulting in the release of pulse from the genitals For each of these cases write the: 1. Name of the microorganisms responsible and 2. The morphological structure of the cells of this microorganismarrow_forwardPlease refer to the given scenario below. What is the most appropriate sample to be collected to isolate the causative agent of the infection? * A 46-year-old male encountered a motor-vehicular accident (MVA) resulting in multiple injuries on his anterior chest and left lower extremities. Aside from the injury, his medical history was unremarkable. The patient was admitted for nine days and underwent debridement and was discharged with an external fixator. However, during his admission, on his 7m post-operative day, the wound was noted to have persistent purulent, bloody discharge from drain site, which is highly suggestive of surgical site infection (SSI). Whole blood Debridement Serum Discharge from drain sitearrow_forwardDescribe the two most important public health measures that can be put in place to prevent a cholera outbreak.arrow_forward
- Please answer the following regaring infections diseases/viruses: a) Describe a chain of infection for how SARS-CoV-2 can be spread. b) How does contact racing help stop the spread of a disease? c) What recommendations do you have to improve the process of contact tracing?arrow_forward1.) Why is boiling water not a recommended sterilization method? 2.) List examples of transfusion-transmitted infections. How are these infections prevented?arrow_forward104) The person known to history as "Typhoid Mary" was identified by public health officials as a source of typhoid fever, although she reported she had never had typhoid fever. Which of the following is the most accurate description of her in this scenario? A) contact carrier B) human carrier C) reservoir D) both a human carrier and a reservoir E) a reservoir but not a carrierarrow_forward

Each panel of the figure represents a blood sample, showing a stain of the chlamydia bacteria. The red dots indicate the initial chlamydia bacteria, and the yellow dots indicate the mutated chlamydia bacteria. Provide detailed captions for the images under the titles, specifically indicating how the bacteria population changed over time. "The Fight Against Bacteria" by Jessie M.
