- Which of the following is true of selective toxicity? O 1) It refers to the process of determining the correct dose of a particular drug O 2) To be effective, an antimicrobial agent must be more toxic to the patient than 2) the pathogen O 3) It contributes to antibiotic resistance O 4) It refers to the body's ability to protect the brain and eye 5) It takes advantage of metabolic and structural differences between host and pathogenarrow_forwardWrite short explanatory notes on how change of lifestyles and modernization contribute to the spread of diseases under the following concepts/topics: through food production, ability to store food longer, increasingly domesticated animals, increased consumption of raw foods, the worldwide trade of agricultural products through food production: Here you should focus on how modern processes contribute to the spread of diseases. For example, Modern processes involved in food production increase the risk of food contamination with pathogenic microorganisms. This can come from machinery used for food processing or food handlers. The answer given should have sufficient points for marks allocated. Your explanations can be supported by examples of microorganisms or diseases. ability to store food longer: growth of microorganisms in food stored for extended period. Consider factors such as temperature fluctuation, poor packaging etc. increasingly domesticated animals: How an increase in…arrow_forwardSelect all the statements that are true regarding the drug treatments available for infectious diseases.□ Antiviral drugs are harder to develop than antibiotics because viruses must use our cellular machinery replicate. □ Very few anti-parasitic drugs exist because diseases caused by Eukaryotes are extremely rare all over the world.□ Fewer drugs are available to treat Eukaryotic pathogens because their physiology and functions are very similar to our own.□ Development of antiparasitic drugs are a low priority because the diseases they treat tend to occur in poor countries, and drug companies can't make money.□ Antivirals may quit working because rates of viral mutation are very high.□ There are more antiviral drugs than atibiotics because antiviral drugs are very easy and cheap to make.arrow_forward
- Directions Consider the following article: Revisit gut microbiota and its impact on human health and disease Our gut microbiome has been shown to be a key modulator of human health. The organisms that are part of our normal gut microflora have been proven to be involved in many aspects of our overall health. There are more microbes in and on us than we have human cells. Not only bacteria, but fungi, viruses, and other microbes are present in and on the human body. Initial Post For your initial discussion post, research one of the major human diseases, longevity, or infant health that have been shown to be impacted by our gut microbiota and discuss the accuracy and validity of the claims. How can we best utilize this knowledge in our own lives? Can we help those we love with their health issues by helping to modify their gut microbiota? Include supportive information from at least one credible source and the reference for your source in APA format.arrow_forwardWhich of the following types of antimicrobial drugs make microbes more susceptible to osmotic pressure? 1) drugs that inhibit nucleic acid synthesis O 2) drugs that inhibit metabolic pathways 3) drugs that inhibit cell wall synthesis 4) drugs that block a pathogen's recognition of its host 5) drugs that inhibit protein synthesisarrow_forwardSelect all of the following that applies to the tradeoff between transmission and virulence that applies to many diseases. a) The tradeoff between transmission and virulence means that diseases always evolve to become more virulent. b) If greater virulence limits transmission, that disease will likely evolve to become less virulent than it could be. c) While making more copies of itself can increase the likelihood of transmission occurring, too much replication of the disease can make the host so sick it won't leave the house and spread the disease. d) A strain of a disease that replicates enough to be transmitted, but not so much that the host gets too sick to move, will be favored by natural selection over strains that either make the host too sick or do not replicate enough to be transmitted. e) If a disease can spread without making its host sick (e.g. when the host is asymptomatic), then the tradeoff between transmission and virulence…arrow_forward
- The type of antimicrobial drug that would be most likely to have toxic effects in humans based on the premise of selective toxicity when treating microbial infection would be a drug that O 1) inhibits the synthesis of the cell wall O 2) inhibits metabolic pathways O 3) disrupts the cytoplasmic membrane 4) inhibits protein synthesis 5) All of the above have equal potential to be toxicarrow_forwardOur food supply contains pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, and environmental contaminants. How much of a danger do you think these substances present to our health? How can we minimize our exposure? You can choose just one type of contaminant to discuss.arrow_forwardI need help answering this question to my professor: The topic for the discussion was this one: Some potentially pathogenic bacteria and fungi, including strains of Enterococcus, Staphylococcus, Candida, and Aspergillus, can survive for one to three months on a variety of materials found in hospitals, including scrub suits, lab coats, plastic aprons, and computer keyboards. What can hospital personnel do to reduce the spread of these pathogens? My answer was this one: To reduce the spread of these pathogens an infection control protocol should be followed. Some ways in which this could be reduced is by using desinfectants, sterilization, hand washing, and disposing techniques. In addition, I currently work as a dental assistant at Jackson Main and the protocol we use is hand washing our hands for at least 20 seconds before and after seeing every patient. We use CaviWipes to disinfect every surface and autoclave every single instrument after every use. Also, we make sure to…arrow_forward

Please include a picture, I’m a little confusedarrow_forwardIn terms of microbial pathogenicity, molecular Koch's postulates are a set of experimental criteria that show: A microbe is the aetiological agent of a disease A gene encodes a product that contributes to disease A gene encodes a product that contributes to immunity to a disease A mutation does not contribute to diseasearrow_forward
