A 65-year-old man who has been living for years with debilitating hepatitis C finally receives a liver transplant. Tragically, a week into his recovery he contracts Pseudomonas aeruginosa enterocolitis that develops into lethal sepsis. According to the model below, these events could reasonably be explained by which? Quorum sensing Cross-species effects Microbial products affecting the host Butyrate Indole Host products affecting the microbiota Hormones Others Intestinal epithelial cells Choose one: O A. overgrowth of otherwise commensal flora O B. increased activity of methanogens O C. development of antibiotic resistance O D. surgery-induced stress O E. change in normal diet to hospital food

Name four types of antimicrobial host-derived products.
The general public takes for granted the link between an infectious agent and a given infection Discuss the requirements established by Koch, the nineteenth-century German scientist, before ascertaining, for instance, that Helicobacter pylori bacterium is the cause of the gastric ulcer. Why is it so essential to meet these conditions?
Why can Koch’s postulates not be used to identify the causes of diseases due to polymicrobial infections?
Functionally, normal microbiota is beneficial to it's host organism and on the other hand, it may cause harm, How does this normal microbiota cause harm? Explain briefly but acurately
What structures or substances that can increase microbial virulence or pathogenicity and explain the mechanism of that structure or substance?
Resistance to antimicrobial agents is more commonly seen in hospital-acquired infections with enteric bacteria than in community-based infections with the same species. Explain why this is so.
Propionibacterium acnes is a normal member of the skin microbiome that benefits the body by lowering the skin's pH- an antimicrobial effect. However, P. acnes is also the leading cause of acne. Explain mechanistically how can a bacterium be normal and beneficial but also be pathogenic?
As an illustration, a patient undergoing a laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) procedure under general anesthesia might be happier not to know the numbers of portals of entry for potential transmission of pathogenic microbes to which she will be subjected. The anesthesia provider would be accessing the patients airway and vascular system by an IV line. Which portals of entry will the surgeon be accessing?
List and explain four distinct mechanisms of innate immune responses for eliminating Gram (-) bacteria.
