Concept explainers
To answer:
The influence of the man’s response to the treatment.
Concept introduction:
Escherichia coli are normal flora of the intestine and, sometimes, they are opportunistic microbes. They are rod-shaped gram-negative bacteria. E. coli are found in the small intestine and they colonize in the gut region. Due to the presence of E. coli, the growth of other pathogenic bacteria is blocked; that is, they do not allow its growth.
To answer:
The condition worsened by the treatment.

- If the bacterium in question during the perlo outbreak had beenE. coli instead of S. aureus, how might the outbreak have changed?arrow_forwardMycobacterium tuberculosis is very difficult to stain because of the A) presence of ribosomes in the cytoplasm. B) location of the DNA within the cell. C) large amounts of a waxlike lipids present in its cell wall. D) lack of a cell wall.arrow_forwardDonna suddenly developed a sore throat accompanied by a fever of 103°F. When over-the-counter medication was ineffective, Donna sought the advice of her doctor. He took a throat culture and, anticipating that it might be a bacterial infection, he began her on a 10-day regime of antibiotics. Why is it important that the doctor confirms this is a bacterial infection, before prescribing antibiotics? Would the doctor prescribe antibiotics if this was a viral infection?arrow_forward
- Which is the most common bacteria found in the skin flora and caused catheter-related infections?a) Streptococcus pyogenesb) Enterococcus spp.c) Staphylococcus epidermisd) Pseudomonas aeruginosae) Escherichia coliarrow_forwardHello, Beside this, what else do you think I can say about "Staphylococcus aureus"? "is a common bacteria that causes skin infections. Usually harmless, this bacterium can be found in our noses and on our skin. On the other hand, infections may result if it enters the body through cuts or scrapes. In order to infiltrate tissues and cause inflammation, Staphylococcus aureus can create toxins and enzymes. This can lead to symptoms like painful boils, red pimples, or even a more serious infection called cellulitis, which causes the skin to become swollen and red. Antibiotics are usually used to treat MRSA; resistant strains, such as those that are resistant to penicillin, need stronger drugs like vancomycin. To aid in the healing process, doctors may occasionally need to extract any pus-filled lumps. For instance, a 25-year-old man may develop a staph infection if he has painful, swollen lumps on his thigh following a camping trip. To prevent problems, it's critical to make an accurate…arrow_forwardWhy are certain anti-bacterial agents more effective at killing bacteria?arrow_forward
