The treatments available for AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), and how does the spread of the virus is impaired. Introduction: HIV refers to a virus, which assaults the immune system cells, that is, the body’s natural defense against the illness. The virus leads to the destruction of a kind of white blood cell known helper T cells and creates duplicates of itself within the cells. Due to the destruction of T-helper cells, the immune system of an individual slowly gets weaken. After HIV infection, AIDS, that is, the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is the later stage. When the immune system contains very minute concentrations of CD4 cells, one cannot defend against the things, which generally do not lead to illness in the majority of individuals.

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
