Semi-synthetic and extended-spectrum penicillins have proven more effective than natural penicillins for two of the following reasons: 1-Interfere more effectively with the development of the peptidoglycan layer in cell-walls 2-Are less sensitive to penicillinases than natural penicillins 3-Do not contain the b-lactam ring thus making them less susceptible to b-lactamases 4-Are less susceptible to the development of resistance 5-Have a broader spectrum of activity

min+ = confers resistance to minocycline cep+ = confers resistance to cephalexin van+ = confers resistance to vancomycin The following table shows the results of your experiments. Transformation of the recipient cells was conducted, using the DNA of the donor cells. You next selected for recipient cells that had undergone transformation by plating the transformed cells on media containing minocycline. This enabled you to select for min+ cells. The min+ cells were then replica plated onto media containing cephalexin or vancomycin in order to determine the antibiotic resistance phenotypes with respect to these other two antibiotics Questions a) Of the three potential orders of these genes, which orders are possible and which are impossible based on your knowledge of the relative distance? b) Finally, determine the correct order of the three genes. Please include a DIAGRAM to illustrate how you deduced the correct gene order, as well as an explanation of your reasoning.
A 44-year-old man develops temperatures to 38.3℃ (101℉), chills, malaise, and nausea 3 days after starting intravenous drug therapy for systemic candidiasis. His serum potassium concentration has decreased from 3.6 to 2.7 mEq/L, and serum creatinine concentration has increased from 1 to 2.5 mg/dL. Since he started the medication. This patient most likely received a drug with which of the following mechanisms of action? Decreases CYP450-dependent ergosterol synthesis. Decrease squalene epoxidase Increases ionic permeability of cell membrane Increases thymidylate biosynthesis Prevents mitosis by binding tubulin
There are many bacterial-antimicrobial resistance combinations. Which one of the following is of maior international concern? a. Sulfonamide resistance in Neisseria meningitides b. Penicillin G resistance in N. gonorrhoeae C. Ampicillin resistance in H. influenza d. Erythromycin resistance in S. pyogenes (group A streptococci) e. Vancomycin resistance in S. aureus
Data shows that people living with non-communicable diseases (PLWNCDs) are already at a higher risk of severe complications from COVID-19, more likely to be hospitalized, and at a higher risk of death. To make matters worse, the conditions under which they are living during thepandemic have potentially compromised their health even further and increased their risk of falling victim to the virus a. Discuss FIVE factors which may have exacerbated the health of PLWNCDs during theCOVID-19 pandemic exposing them to greater risk. b. For any of the factors mentioned above, comment on TWO approaches that countries may use to curb these challenges.
Which of the following statements is true of antiviral drugs? Multiple Choice Famciclovir (Famvir) is an analog of acyclovir that is rapidly converted to acyclovir in the tissues. Valacyclovir (Valtrex) is converted to the active antiviral penciclovir. Acyclovir is designated FDA Pregnancy Category D. Acyclovir is used to treat infections of Herpes that occur after a bone marrow transplant.
Cytotoxic drugs cause immunosuppression by killing dividing cells and have serious side-effects. Mycophenolate mofetil is a cytotoxic drug that is commonly used in patients receiving kidney transplants, as part of a combination therapy with other immunosuppressive drugs. Studies have been performed to assess whether reductions in mycophenolate mofetil dose given to transplant patients starting around 4 months post-transplant have deleterious effects on the transplanted kidney function or on episodes of graft rejection. The motivation for this type of study is: The high expense of combination therapies that require multiple different drugs The side effects of the cytotoxic drug on healthy dividing cells in the body The convenience to the transplant patient of fewer medications to take on a daily basis The off-target effects of mycophenolate mofetil on non-dividing cells 5. The possibility that transplant patients develop an allergic reaction to the mycophenolate
Different strains of Streptococcus pyogenes have different virulence factors, giving these microbes much versatility. Virulence factors include which of the following? Choose one or more: A.A capsule that, when thick, will help the organism avoid phagocytosis by macrophages B.A cell wall containing lipoteichoic acid, thought to facilitate adherence to pharyngeal epithelial cells C.Enzymes that lyse blood cells (streptolysins) D.The production of several endotoxins called streptococcal pyogenic endotoxins (SPEs)

A young adult is taking part in a hepatitis B vaccine phase III clinical trial. Her specific antibody titers are measured several days after each injection as part of the trial. She develops joint aches and swelling, as well as a slight rash, several hours after the third injection. After the study, an examination of her records reveals that she had high antibody titers after the first dose, with increasing titers with each subsequent dose. Which of the following is most likely to be the cause of her negative reaction?a. reaction to the vehicle (a substance in which the viral antigen is suspended).b. Anaphylaxis reactionc. Arthus-type hypersensitivity reactiond. production of antibodies cross-reacting with synovial (joint) antigens and epidermal antigens.
