a.

Summary Introduction

To explain: Why an acid-alcohol as a delocorizing agent, when there is an error is made while performing spore staining.

Introduction: Spore staining is a staining technique that is used to differentiate the bacterial endospores from the vegetative cells. Endospores are formed by a few genera of bacteria, for example, Bacillus. Bacteria are able to thrive in extreme conditions by forming spores. Spores are highly resistant to heat, chemicals, desiccation, and radiation.   

b.

Summary Introduction

To explain: If an error is made while performing spore staining, then what are the microscopic observations that differ from those observed when the slides were prepared correctly. For example, safranin is used as the primary stain and malachite green is used as the counterstain.

c.

Summary Introduction

To explain: If an error is made while performing spore staining, then what are the microscopic observations that differ from those observed when the slides were prepared correctly. For example, heat is not applied during the primary stain.

A 25-year-old woman presents to the emergency department with a 2-day history of fever, chills, severe headache, and confusion. She recently returned from a trip to sub-Saharan Africa, where she did not take malaria prophylaxis. On examination, she is febrile (39.8°C/103.6°F) and hypotensive. Laboratory studies reveal hemoglobin of 8.0 g/dL, platelet count of 50,000/μL, and evidence of hemoglobinuria. A peripheral blood smear shows ring forms and banana-shaped gametocytes. Which of the following Plasmodium species is most likely responsible for her severe symptoms? A. Plasmodium vivax B. Plasmodium ovale C. Plasmodium malariae D. Plasmodium falciparum
