Mrs. Jones was suffering from a progressive decrease in mental stability for the past five or six years. Her medical examination reported a low IQ (intelligence quotient) level than the normal level. A CT (computed tomography) scan showed a diffused cerebral atrophy, for which the doctor prescribed her a mild tranquilizer. Determine the condition leading to a progressive decline of mental stability of Mrs. Jones. Introduction: The brain is the most important organ in our body. All the components of our brain work in an efficient manner, which helps us to carry out our day-to-day activities. With age, the brain degenerates due to the decline in the number of neurons, an imbalance of any nutrient or chemical, or may be due to some injury.

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
