A 72-year-old male Mr. Heyden suffered from abdominopelvic trauma. He met an accident at his farm. His left side of the body was pinned beneath the tractor and his lower quadrant appears to be compressed. He was shifted to the emergency room of the hospital and his blood pressure and heart rate were measured. Mr. Heyden also complained about the pain in the left part of his body. Characters in the case: Mr. Heyden and the paramedical expert. Adequate information: The paramedical reports showed that the blood pressure of the patient was 90/50 mm Hg (millimeters of mercury) and his heart rate was 116 beats per minute. His blood pressure was continuously falling. The blood potassium levels (K + ) was very high of the patient. To determine: The reason for the high blood K + levels of Mr. Heyden.

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
