9answer and explain the rationale A patient was infected with E. coli, a gramnegative bacteria. After taking a first dose ofciprofloxacin the patient had a fever of 38.7 dC.Explain why the patient had a fever after takingthe antibiotic?a. The patient aside from gram negativebacteria has a co-infection with grampositive bacteriab. The antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) is notappropriate for gram negative bacteriac. The antibiotic destroys the gram negativecell wall releasing the teichoic acid which isan endotoxin that can activate immuneresponse causing fever.d. The antibiotic destroys the gram negativecell wall releasing the lipopolysaccharide(LPS) which is an endotoxin that can activateсаimmune response causing fever.

Genomics

Genes are responsible for transmitting the characters located on the chromosomes from one individual to another across the generations. Genetics is the study of different genes that are involved in different functions. Genetics is a branch of biology that studies genes, genetic diversity, and heredity in living organisms. The genetic system consists of genetic notations, which is a system of signs and symbols. Genotype refers to the organism's genetic composition, and phenotype refers to the observable property of the organism.

Question

answer and explain the rationale

A patient was infected with E. coli, a gram
negative bacteria. After taking a first dose of
ciprofloxacin the patient had a fever of 38.7 dC.
Explain why the patient had a fever after taking
the antibiotic?
a. The patient aside from gram negative
bacteria has a co-infection with gram
positive bacteria
b. The antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) is not
appropriate for gram negative bacteria
c. The antibiotic destroys the gram negative
cell wall releasing the teichoic acid which is
an endotoxin that can activate immune
response causing fever.
d. The antibiotic destroys the gram negative
cell wall releasing the lipopolysaccharide
(LPS) which is an endotoxin that can activate
са
immune response causing fever.
