Chapter 26, Problem 11TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
The experimental design for the analysis of digestive tract of the newborn chicks, in such a way to eliminate the possibility of salmmonella infection in digestive tract of newborn chicks.
Introduction:
The gut microbial community and integrity of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) play important roles in absorption of nutrients, immunity development and resistance from the disease. The changes in the microbial community of chicken may leads to the adverse effects on productivity, feed efficiency and health of the chicken. Thus the microbiome research is essential for the improvement of poultry GI microbiome.

Many pathogenic bacteria are unable to make some of the metabolic compounds needed for growth and have instead evolved enzymes that enable the bacteria to actually invade human body cells. What do these bacteria expect to accomplish by this practice?
In a series of infection experiments, a researcher discovers that the ID50 value for the infectious bacterium Parasiticum mucoides is 100, and that the ID50 for another infectious bacterium, Donoteatum thisbacterium, is 15,000. Given these data, a person exposed to 1,000 bacteria of each type would be more likely to be infected by which bacterium?
Group of answer choices
There is no way to know given the information provided
Both infections are equally likely
Parasiticum mucoides
Donoteatum thisbacterium
A microbiologist argued that there is no such thing as “normal” microbiota of the human body, since the population is dynamic and is constantly changing, depending on diet and external environment. What would be an argument against this microbiologist’s view?

- A recent study found that 480 Streptomyces strains freshly isolated from the soil are resistant to at least six different antibiotics. In fact, some isolates are resistant to 20 different antibiotic drugs.Why do you think these bacteria (which are neither pathogenic nor exposed to human use of antibiotics) are resistant to so many drugs? What might be the implications for human bacterial pathogens?arrow_forwardIn terms of food items, bacteria typically attack: cereal grains. soft-skinned vegetables. meats and dairy products. acidic fruits.arrow_forwarde. coli is commonly found in the human Microbiome. while most strains are harmless some can cause various illnesses ranging from urinary track infections to severe gastroenteritis. which of the following is a primary mechanism by which e. coli obtains its pathogenicity?

Therefore our mouth is full of live bacteria. These bacteria are potentially dangerous if they cross our gut wall into our blood circulation. Fortunately we are protected from them by our gut's mucosal lining and the cells (macrophages, dendritic cells, B and T lymphocytes) in the lymphoid tissue called [a] (enter two words). This structure play a crucial role for the development of food tolerance or food [b] (enter one word), coeliac disease and chronic inflammatory bowel disease.arrow_forward
