Textbook Question
Chapter 27, Problem 4TY
Place the following steps in the correct order, according to Koch’s postulates:
I. Determine if pure cultures of bacteria cause disease symptoms when introduced to a healthy host.
II. Determine if disease symptoms correlate with presence of a suspected pathogen.
III. Isolate the suspected pathogen and grow it in pure culture, free of other possible pathogens.
IV. Attempt to isolate pathogen from second-infected hosts.
- a. II, III, IV, I
- b. II, IV, III, I
- c. Ill, II, I, IV
- d. II, III, I, IV

b. the same microbe discovered previously is isolated from the purposely infected host
c. the pathogen is isolated and grown in pure culture
d. the same disease results after isolated organism is inoculated into healthy host
Answer the following questions:
1. What was the first antibiotic and what was its importance?
2. What does resistance mean?
3. Who is affected by resistance?
4. What if the resistance problem is not solved?
5. Describe the structure of the bacterium (its parts)
6. Can bacteria change? explain
7. Why do Bacteria communicate, what is the purpose?
8. Explain how a bacterium achieves its resistance.
9. What is the use given to antibiotics in production animals?
10. Is this use in animals good practice?
11. Once resistance occurs, what has the scientific community had to do?
12. Do antibiotics only affect negative bacteria? explain.
13. What are the most feared diseases due to antibiotic resistance?
14. Should antibiotics be used against viruses? explain.
15. How can we avoid antibiotic resistance?
A patient with a diagnosis of "Staphylococcal pneumonia" was admitted to the clinic. For successful etiological treatment we should select an effective antibiotic. For this purpose, was recommended to determine the antibioticogram of the pathogen.
1. What method can be used to determine antibiotic sensitivity?
2. The principle of the method and accounting for results.
