The manner in which macrophage deficiency affects an infant's immune response and non-specific defenses is to be described. Neutrophil deficiency is to be described which results in immunodeficiency. Introduction: Macrophages are an important part of immune cells. They are formed to fight against the pathogen and bacterial infection and are known as scavengers because they remove dead cells, bacteria, or any pathogen by ingesting them. Neutrophils are a type of leukocytes or white blood cells. Their function is also to protect the body from bacterial infection. These cells reach the infected site first. But the bacterial capacity of neutrophils is less than the macrophages.

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
