MICROBIOLOGY WITH DISEASE BY TAXONOMY
- Gram positive case on the first day back to class at the local university, a student noticed a small abscess on his right elbow but didn't think much about it. Over the next couple days, however the abscess became more swollen and painful. The student decided to visit the health centet he told the doctor it looked like a spider bite but didn't recall being bitten. The doctor took a swab of the lesion and prescribed an antibiotic cream as it looked infected. The swab was sent to the lab for testing within a few days of treatment, the student lesion was healed. answer the questions: plate morphology: gram stain: catalase: coagulase: bactracin: TSIarrow_forwardClinical Case Study Four generations of the DOE family live in the southeastern United States: 72 -year old grandmother Nancy, 44-year old father Chad, Chad's oldest daughter, Gina, 23 years old, and Gina's 18 month-old son Joseph. As a whole, the family has had no previous significant medical history, yet interfaces with their primary care physician and medical specialists throughout their lifespan for various conditions. While laboratory analysis often involved the collection of routine blood and urine specimens, the cases in this chapter will highlight times when they needed other body fluids collected for diagnostic purposes. 1) Besides blood and urine, what are other body fluids that can be collected for diagnostic purposes? 2) Do you believe that there are body fluids that are only clinically relevant at certain time points in life? Or, instead, are the diagnostic utility of these fluids equal across the lifespan?arrow_forwarderythema migrans 43. Which among the following is true to Ebola? i.

- Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi) 2. Shape and arrangement of your pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi more famously known as Lyme disease has a spiral shape and an arrangement called spirochete which are spiral-shaped bacteria that resemble a long coil. 3. Type of flagella, number, and correctly named arrangement of the flagella (example: monotrichous) Because Borrelia burgdorferi is a spirochete they have a unique way in which they move. They have what’s called axial filaments. Axial filaments lap themselves around the bacteria between the cell wall and an outer sheath and are bound at the ends of the bacteria. The fibrils then spin and help move the bacteria in a spiral form. A good example of this motion would be a drill and a drill bit. They are also known as Endoflagella. 4. Capsule or not (If yes, describe what is it made from) Borrelia burgdorferi doesn’t have capsules but what’s called a slime layer. In recent studies done by researcher Misha Kudryashev he was…arrow_forwardDISEASE PATHOGEN SYMPTOMS DIAGNOSIS TREATMENT 1. Bacterial Vaginosis 2.
