Why are Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections difficult to treat?
A. Because they form biofilms, which are difficult for antibiotics to penetrate.
B. Because they have a special endotoxin that degrades many antibiotics.
C. Because we do not have any antibiotics that target P. aeruginosa.
D. Because they are gram-positive bacteria, which are harder to treat.
The broth culture of Bacillus subtilis showed growth even after extended heating in a waterbath, while Serratia marcescens did not. This is due to:
a. Bacillus subtilis is Gram-positive, while Serratia marcescens is Gram-negative
b. Bacillus subtilis is a spore former
c. the pigment of Serratia marcescens absorbs more radiation than other cells
d. Bacillus subtilis has enzymes that protect it from ozone
