Vibrio is the human and as well as aquatic pathogenic organism which causes diseases to both humans and aquatic creatures like shrimp and fishes. Case summary: In New York, Patient A was hospitalized on April 26 with a 2 day history of diarrhea. Investigation revealed that on April 22, patient B had onset of watery diarrhea. Three other people (patients C, D, and E) had onset of diarrhea on April 24. All three patients had vibriocidal antibody titers >= 640. In Ecuador, on April 20, B had bought crabs that were boiled and shelled. B shared crabmeat with F and G, then froze the remaining crab in a bag. Patient A returned to New York on April 21 with a bag of crabmeat. The bag was placed in a freezer overnight and thawed on April 22 in a double-boiler for 20 minutes. The crab was served 2 hours later in a crab salad. The crab was consumed by A, C, D, and E during a 6-hour period. F and G did not become ill.

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
