You are a doctor and patient of yours comes in with an infection related to a medical device that they recently had implanted. You discover that there is a complex microbial communities grown tightly adhered to the surface of the medical device, making it harder to treat. This microbial community is a called a ________. (Check spelling before submitting.)
Which of the following statements describe a culture or molecular technique in the study of microbes? a Molecular techniques are relatively cheap. b Molecular techniques can be used for mixed cultures. c All statements are acceptable. d Microbial cultivation is costly, time requiring and labor intensive.
which of the following definitions is not technically correct? a. broad spectrum - effective against many different types of microbes b. bacteriostatic - prevents microbes from growing c. antibiotic - microbial or synthetic product that kills or inhibits growth of microbes. d. all of the above are correct
Which of the following factors is NOT significant in determining the effectiveness of a microbial treatment? Group of answer choices The toxins secreted by the microbe being treated. The susceptibility of the microbe to the treatment. The concentration of the treatment. The length of exposure to the treatment
The study of Environmental Microbiology showcases the enormous impact of microbes on the environment. Based on your understanding, discuss five ways by which the human societal setting is impacted by microorganisms and microbiology on the whole.
Humans have learned through history how to use the abilities of microbes to their advantage. Considering ways that we use them (not how they naturally have become part of our microflora), describe 3 methods used in the environment, industry, and in our daily lives.
What statement describes the danger of using heavy metals to control microbe growth? Group of answer choices Heavy metals promote biofilm formation in humans. Heavy metals stimulate some microbes to reproduce even more. Heavy metals can assist with virus attachment to host cells. Heavy metals are toxic to many organisms besides microbes.
Imagine yourself being assigned to a very poor, remote village to educate the people about sanitation and microbial control. What method of microbial destruction or microbe population control will you teach them in order to kill/destroy the microorganisms that may be found in: 1. the gallon of pond water collected for drinking
A drug failed to work. Even if resistance is not an issue, the antimicrobials are found to only have a discrete range of bacteria that they can exert their effects on. Why is this the found case? Question options: Microbial components vary over different species and strains. If the organism naturally doesn't express the target component, the drug won't be able to exert an effect on it. Antimicrobials are designed to be effective for a predetermined period of time. An older antibiotic can't exert any effects on a new microbial strain. There is a different antimicrobial designed for every strain of bacteria. As a result there is no crossover in action due to selective targeting. The body filters antimicrobial compounds to interact with their target microorganism. Until research determines how to control this, antimicrobials will only ever have a very discrete range of targets.
What is the difference between culture media and cultural environment? Are environmental conditions related to specific microbes? If so, which conditions for which type of microbes? If you were a field researcher collecting microbes in the wild, what kind of data would you take to make sure you know the exact environment the samples require in order to culture them in a lab?
Which of the following statements regarding microbial death is FALSE? Question options: cell walls are targeted by many microbial control agents the effectiveness of an antibacterial agent is a funciton of its microbial death rate the rate at which microbes are killed is termed the microbial death rate all of these statements are TRUE few antimicrobial agents function through the disruption of protein structure under a given set of conditions, the fraction of a microbial population that dies per minute is typically constant over time
What is the difference between a probiotic and prebiotic? Group of answer choices Prebiotics are natural chemicals present in food, whereas probiotics are artificial chemicals added to food to improve their nutritional value Prebiotics are living microbes that transform food, whereas probiotics are microbes grown in the lab and added to food. A prebiotic is a microbe acquired before birth, whereas a probiotic is a microbe acquired after birth A prebiotic serves as food for probiotics, which are consumable live microbes with health benefits
