- Which area of the body has the most diverse bacterial flora: the skin, nose, or throat? What features of this area encourage diversity?arrow_forwardTwo microbiologists are writing a textbook, but they cannot agree where to place the discussion of botulism. One favored the chapter on nervous system infections, whereas the other insisted on the chapter covering digestive system infections. Where do you think the discussion should be placed, and why?arrow_forwardGiven below are the pathogens and the diseases caused by them. Which out of these pairs is not correct matching pair and why?(a) Wuchereria Filariasis(b) Microsporum Ringworm(c) Salmonella Common Cold(d) Plasmodium Malariaarrow_forward
- A California farmer developed a low grade fever, myalgia and cough. A chest X ray revealed an infiltrate in the lungs. Microscopic examination of the sputum revealed round, budding cells. A sputum culture grew mycelia and arthroconidia. What organisms is most likely the cause of the symptoms? What is causing the man’s disease? How is this disease transmitted? How might it be prevented?arrow_forwardNosocomial Infections: What Surfaces that they are mostly on? Which Equipments that carry the pathogens and possibly put the patient at risk?arrow_forwardPropionibacterium acnes is a normal member of the skin microbiome that benefits the body by lowering the skin's pH- an antimicrobial effect. However, P. acnes is also the leading cause of acne. Explain mechanistically how can a bacterium be normal and beneficial but also be pathogenic?arrow_forward
