Concept explainers
To answer:
The influence of the man’s response to the treatment.
Concept introduction:
Escherichia coli are normal flora of the intestine and, sometimes, they are opportunistic microbes. They are rod-shaped gram-negative bacteria. E. coli are found in the small intestine and they colonize in the gut region. Due to the presence of E. coli, the growth of other pathogenic bacteria is blocked; that is, they do not allow its growth.
To answer:
The condition worsened by the treatment.

- When a test tube of bacteria is treated with penicillin and left for two days, the bacteria were found to still be growing and the a changed form of penicillin is found inside of the bacterial cells. What mechanism of antibiotic resistance is likely to have occurred?arrow_forwardHow do you think a bacterial cell would respond if it was treated with the antibiotic vancomycin compared to the antibiotic erythromycin? Note: this question is asking about the bacterial response, not the specific action of the antibiotic, although you need to know this to answer the question.arrow_forwardWhy wouldn’t antibiotics work as therapy for botulism?arrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardSalmonella enterica is a gram-negative bacteria under prokaryotes which has flagella. What is the role of the flagella? *arrow_forwardwhich group of bacteria would tend to cause disease in human based on temperature and whyarrow_forward
