Chapter 24, Problem 3MCQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Mycoplasma pneumonia is gram positive bacteria, which has no peptidoglycan layer so it has the antibiotic resistance and also escapes from immune response by changing the cell membrane mimic to host, and it is detected by the PCR method. It is called as the walking pneumonia which occurs due to transmission of bacteria by means of aerosols.

- Name two methods of control of growth for Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogen in a patient with the disease and when confronted with the pathogen outside of the host. Be careful to specify if it is a physical method or a chemical method (check lecture to differentiate these two). Control of growth means how would you deal with an infection related to a person as well as how would you minimize the presence of the bacteria on a surface or object.arrow_forwardA 1.5-year-old child developed vomiting, diarrhea, and fever.
