- We have many antimicrobial drugs to treat bacterial infections, but very few for viruses. Why is it so difficult to treat viral infections? Hint: What would the targets for the drugs be?arrow_forwardConsumer products including bandages, cotton balls, diapers, and contact lens solutions are routinely irradiated. There is no opposition to these products in the marketplace. Given this, why are irradiated foods not more accepted when they can prevent illness from E. coli and other pathogens?arrow_forwardInfections among hospitalized patients are often related to the presence of a medical device in the patient. Which conditions favor the formation of biofilms on in-dwelling catheters?arrow_forward
- Once these pathogens enter the host the difference in environmental conditions signals for them to germinate and turn into growing cells. Compare Inhalation anthrax (Bacillus anthracis) to Tetanus (Clostridium tetani). Besides endospores used in transmission, what is a simple explanation to help explain how each microbe survives and grows in each location?arrow_forwardDifferent 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)arrow_forwardSalmonella enterica is a gram-negative bacteria under prokaryotes which has flagella. What is the role of the flagella? *arrow_forward
- Cephalosporins resemble which antibiotic in their mode ofaction and their structure?(a) Penicillin(b) Bacitracin(c) Streptomycin(d) Polymyxin(e) Tetracyclinearrow_forwardHelicobacter is able to survive the acidic conditions of thestomach by producing which enzyme?(a) β-galactosidase (d) Amylase(b) Coagulase (e) Urease(c) Lactasearrow_forwardWhat conditions may cause a false positive test for phagocytic engulfment? How could these factors be avoided by a medical laboratory scientist?arrow_forward
