- An infectious dose of several million cells in enteric infections seems like a lot. a. In terms of the size and abundance of microbes, could you see a cluster containing that many cells with the naked eye? b. About how long would it take an average bacterial species to reach the infectious dose of a million cells starting from a single cell? c. Why do enteric diseases require a relatively higher infectious dose than nonenteric diseases? d. Explain why antimicrobic therapy used on gram-negative bacterial infections could actually lead to illness rather than cure itarrow_forwarda. Compare and contrast the methods used by bacteria andprotozoa to stay alive even when conditions within the environmentare unfavorable to the growth and survival of the organism. b. Based upon the presenting symptoms,you hypothesize that your patient is suffering from amoebiasis. However, when the laboratory analysis of the pathogen returns, you find out that the microbe is ciliated. Explain how this information may change your thoughts on the patient’s disease diagnosis.arrow_forwardwas used by Joseph Lister to clean wounds and surgical instruments: A.Antibiotics b.Chlorine water Carbonic acid dAntitoxins e.
