Suppose you got ill. When you have come to the doctor,he gave you antibiotics medication without doing any kind of test. What do youthink about which type of microbe attacked the body? And why do doctors recommend antibiotics? Is it okay to have antibiotics without any test report? Do yousupport antibiotic resistance? If yes/no please elaborately discuss yourthoughts.
Clostridium difficile infection is the leading causeof hospital-associated gastrointestinal illness. It is typicallytreated with a course of antibiotics, but the infection recursin about 20% of cases. C. difficile infections are difficult toeradicate because the bacteria exist in two forms: a repli-cating, toxin-producing form and a spore form that is resis-tant to antibiotics. Fecal microbiota transplantation—thetransfer of normal gut microbiota from a healthy individ-ual—can resolve >90% of recurrent infections, a much bet-ter cure rate than further antibiotic treatment alone. Whydo you suppose microbiota transplantation is so effective?
Explain each of the following:a. why the clinical signs of infection are notpresent immediately after the microorganismenters the bodyb. why infection can often be cured without drugtreatmentc. why antibacterial agents might be prescribedfor an infection

Group of answer choices A. fimbriae B. pili C. an endospore D. a flagellum
The extensive use of antibiotics as well as gene transfer hasled to more virulent, antibiotic-resistant strains of all of thefollowing organisms except:(a) Streptococcus pneumoniae(b) Staphylococcus aureus(c) Enterococci(d) Influenza(e) Escherichia coli
Suppose you spilled two cultures of Salmonella typhimur-ium (each containing 100,000 cells) on your lab bench. You im-mediately applied the same disinfectant to both cultures at thesame time. One culture had been freshly grown for 36 hours andthe other culture is 2 weeks old. If the kill ing rate of the disin-fectant is 90% per minute, do you think that microbes in bothcultures will be completely killed after 6 minutes? Why or whynot?
At the health center, a fecal sample was taken from a feverish student. Organisms with corkscrewlike flagella and no endomembranes but with cell walls that lack peptidoglycan were isolated as the cause for the illness. These organisms probably belong to the group: a. chlamydias. b. spirochetes. c. Euryarchacota. d. Cyanobacteria. e. Archaea.
Because most pathogens cannot survive for extended peri-ods of time outside the body, they must persist within inorder to maintain their ability to infect humans.(a) Macrophages(b) Viruses(c) Reservoirs of infection(d) Endospores
