Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- Some antibiotics fail to kill/inhibit a pathogen simply because the microbe is naturally (intrinsically) resistant to it. True or False ?Antibiotic resistant bacteria are commonly found in hospitals. Why do you think that is?Some antibiotics show no zone of inhibition against the microbe. How is this possible? Explain how the microbe is able to combat against the antibiotic with proper reasoning.
- A certain culture of the bacteria stripped her classes and national has 10 bacteria to double every 1.5 hours estimate the number of bacteria after 35 hours after how many hours for the bacteria count reach 10,000?Hana comes from an island town of 2000 people. She goes to the mainland with a friend and there they catch a highly contagious virus. A week after their return to their island-town, 8 people are infected. How many will be affected after another week? If there are 150 bacteria after 2 hours and 900 bacteria after 6 hours, how many bacteria were present initially? How many bacteria are there after 10 hours?why Small Fraction of Bacteria Are Pathogens
- 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 correctWhen conditions are unfavorable, some bacteria:Why may some bacteria use extracellular enzymes to form blood clots? View Available Hint(s) for Part H The blood clots are a necessary food source for the bacteria. Blood clot can hide bacteria from the immune system. A blood clot leads to tissue necrosis or death, a necessary condition for infection. The blood clots cause disease, which is the intended purpose of the bacteria.
- The term "Superbug" refers to? A. Certain bacteria strain that can grow in all kinds of unfavorable conditiions B. Certain bacteria strain is more toxic than all the viruses C. Certain bacteria strain that is resistant to all available antibiotics D. Certain bacteria strain that grows faster than any other strainsBacterial capsule helps in adherence of bacteria to surface in its environment. It also protects the bacteria from cell death * BOTH statements are TRUE BOTH statements are FALSE FIRST statement is TRUE ; SECOND statement is FALSE FIRST statement is FALSE; SECOND statement is TRUECats and dogs transfer bacteria onto their fur by: SniffingLickingShakingRunning
