A COVID-19 test, which produce result in 10 minutes, has the following test characteristics. The test has a 95% sensitivity and a 95% specificity. The State of Massachusetts is in dilemma whether to test symptomatic individuals or the entire residents to decrease the spread of infection as depicted in the following two scenarios. Scenario A. The State of Massachusetts wants to administer the test on 40,000 individuals who will develop cough, fever and shortness of breath in the next 10 days to identify COVID-19 infected individuals and institute public health measures. The estimated prevalence of COVID-19 in this population is 750 per 1,000 population using a gold-standard test. Scenario B. The State of Massachusetts wants to administer the test to its entire COVID-19 uninfected population (6,750,000). The estimated prevalence of COVID-19 in this population is 5 per 1,000 population using a gold-standard test. Please help the State of Massachusetts by responding to the…
To understand the genes responsible for growth and infectivity in a disease-causing bacterial strain, you perform chemical mutagenesis on a culture of these bacteria. In the course of your investigation into the properties of the resulting mutants, you identify a set of mutant bacteria that is still viable but their virulence is significantly impaired. How might these mutants be useful for vaccine development?
In a mixed infection assay between h+r+ and hr phage, where h and r are two genes that govern plaque morphology, which of the following do you expect to observe? only h+r+ and hr only h+r and hr+ only h+r+ only hr All four types: h+r+, hr, h+r, hr+
Before development of a vaccine against this microbe, thedisease it caused accounted for two-thirds of bacterial meningi-tis cases during the first year of life but is still the number oneleading cause of mental retardation in patients who survive seri-ous disease due to permanent central nervous system disorders.What is the microorganism?(a) Haemophilus influenzae type B(b) Haemophilus influenzae type A(c) Neisseria meningitidis(d) Streptococcus pneumoniae(e) Listeria monocytogenes
If you wanted to make an assay detecting SARS-CoV-2 virus presence, like the assay shown in the previous question, what would be a logical combination of things to include in your list of supplies to obtain? rabbit anti-SARS-cov2 spike antibody, anti-rabbit IgG horseradish peroxidase-conjugated antibody, tetramethylbenzidine rabbit anti-SARS-cov2 spike antibody, anti-mouse horseradish peroxidase conjugated antibody, tetramethylbenzidine rabbit anti-SARS-cov2 spike antibody, anti-rabbit SARS-cov2 spike antibody, tetramethylbenzidine SARS-cov2 spike, anti-rabbit IgG horseradish peroxidase-conjugated antibody, tetramethylbenzidine rabbit anti-SARS-cov2 spike horseradish peroxidase conjugated antibody, anti-rabbit horseradish peroxidase conjugated antibody, tetramethylbenzidine

Several cell culture lines of epithelial cells, called “Cell Line A, B, or C,” are incubated with 104 infectious particles of influenza virus, and viral titers in the culture media are measured 2 days later. Looking at the results of this experiment, it is apparent that the three lines do not all show the same response to the virus. To investigate these differences, mixing experiments are performed, where cells from two different cell lines are mixed together at a 1:1 ratio before the Influenza infection. Based on the results shown in the figure below, propose an explanation for these data.
Discuss in detail, how you would produce recombinant protein subunit vaccines for Influenza virus.
You decide to use a plaque assay with a human lung epithelial cell line to compare the effectiveness of the drug. The results of the plaque assay for one strain of influenza are shown below. Based on these results, what can you conclude about the relative effectiveness of WJ379 at 1 mM compared to oseltamivir at 1 mM? Briefly explain your rationale.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a Gram-positive bacterium that colonizes the mucosal surface of the upper respiratory tract in humans. The presence of this bacterium in the nose and throat is widespread in the population, and in most people, colonization with Strep. pneumoniae is asymptomatic. The figure attached shows a comparison of in vitro growth curves of the wild-type strain of Strep. pneumoniae, as well as a Strep. pneumoniae mutant strain with a defect in one bacterial gene. The graph on the right shows the growth curve following addition of lysozyme during the logarithmic phase of bacterial growth. Which statement could account for the data in these graphs? Strain B is wild-type Strep. pneumoniae, and strain A is a mutant that cannot modify its peptidoglycan to be lysozyme-resistant. Strain B is wild-type Strep. pneumoniae, and strain A is a mutant that that expresses increased levels of LPS. Strain A is wild-type Strep. pneumoniae, and strain B is a mutant that cannot modify its…
