Question 1 Identifying infectious agents is important because O pathogens must be identified before antibiotics are effective. O antibiotics are only effective against viruses. O it costs less money to run numerous tests than to treat with antibiotics empirically. O antibiotic-resistant bacteria are becoming a major global threat.

Question 1 Note that it is not appropriate to self-diagnose outside of a medical context and this is a completely hypothetical scenario. Imagine you have a rash on your foot. You’re concerned that it’s an infection and inoculate a sample onto an agar plate. You wonder, How can I figure out whether the pathogen is a bacterium or a eukaryote?  You decide to use lab supplies to get a basic understanding of the pathogen. What is one experiment you could do, involving culturing the organism? Be specific about what tests you use and what you expect the results to be. Limit yourself to experiments we have done/could do in our lab. What is a procedure you could do, involving making a slide of the organism? Be specific about what tests you use and what you expect the results to be. Limit yourself to experiments we have done/could do in our lab. Without testing anything, how do you know this is not a viral infection?
Question 5 Microbiolgy BIOL 2420 Suppose you do this test on a hypothetical Staphylococcus species with the antibiotics penicillin (P10) and chloramphenicol (C30). You record a zone of inhibition size of 25 mm for both disks. Which antibiotic would be more effective against this organism? Question 6 options: a) both would be equally effective b) chloramphenicol c) penicillin
Question 7 Microbiology BIOL 2420 What does the line at the end of the arrow represent? Question 7 options: a) therapeutic index of the antibiotic b) minimum inhibitory concentration c) end of diffusion of the antibiotic d) more than one of these

Enlist all the “Four Sources” from which the “microorganism in milk” come from. Enlist the “Diseases” transmitted through “Milk” like the “diseases of bovine (esp. Ox and Cow) origin. Enlist the “Diseases” transmitted through “Milk” like the “diseases of human” origin. Define and briefly discuss the “pasteurization of milk”. (c) Define “air pollution”. Enlist the “Sources of Air Pollution”. Enlist the “Pollutants causing Air Pollution”. What is “Water Pollution”? Enlist the “Sources of Water Pollution”.
Question 14 a) Radioactive decay produces ionising radiation. Like all ionising radiation this can lead to harmful effects on living tissue due to cell damage including damage to DNA, mutation and cell death. Contrast the differing health risks associated when working with alpha, beta or gamma radiation sources. b) Describe some ways in which those working with radioactive sources and people in general can be protected against the risks of radiation exposure from such sources.
