The cases are sporadic and not linked to a common group or event. Preliminary reports suggest an association of illness with pre-packaged salads. Investigators identified cases by hospital and laboratory reports. Interviews were conducted on 60 patients found with laboratory confirmed listeriosis and 90 well people from randomly selected households. Case-patients and well people were similar with respect to age, sex, and level of education. Forty-five (45) people with listeriosis reported consuming pre-packaged salad. Nine (19) well people reported consuming pre-packaged salad. 2x2 table + - Total + A B A+B - C D C+D Total A+C B+D A+B+C+D List the values for each cell: A, B, C, D, A+B, C+D, A+C, B+D, A+B+C+D…arrow_forwardGive typing answer with explanation and conclusion to all parts Antibiotics selectively inhibit or kill bacterial cells. Describe three targets of antibiotics in bacterial cells. Explain how the antibiotics produce these effects at each target. Bacteria have evolved mechanisms of resistance to many antibiotics. Describe two different mechanisms of resistance, explaining how the bacterium overcomes the action of the antibiotic. Give an example of an antibiotic whose effect can be overcome by each of the mechanisms you have described.arrow_forward
