Suppose you spilled two cultures of Salmonella typhimur-ium (each containing 100,000 cells) on your lab bench. You im-mediately applied the same disinfectant to both cultures at thesame time. One culture had been freshly grown for 36 hours andthe other culture is 2 weeks old. If the kill ing rate of the disin-fectant is 90% per minute, do you think that microbes in bothcultures will be completely killed after 6 minutes? Why or whynot?

60) An investigator is studying the immune response to an encapsulated strain of staphyloccoccus aureus. Two bacterila culture tubes are treated with human serum. Culture X contains a patient with a genetic deficiency in mannose bisning protein. Culturte Y contains serum form from a healthy individual. After 1 hour. bacterial lysis in culture Yis greater than thqatobtained in culture X. The investigator hypothesizes that the mannose bidning lectin activatesimmune system componentswith serum lysis of the bacteria. Which of the following system complements most likely performs this functions? (A) Complement (B) Eosinophil major basic protein (C) IgM (D) Lysozyme (E) Perforin (F) Toll-like receptor
Which antimicrobial agents have the narrowest spectrum of action? antivirals antifungals beta-lactams sulfanilamidesBottom of Form Penicillin is a narrow spectrum antibiotic because it only affects bacteria with mycolic acid in its cell wall, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. it only affects viruses it only affects Gram-negative organisms it only affects Gram-positive organismsBottom of Form Which of the following antibiotics might be destroyed by beta-lactamase enzymes? amphotericin B and ciprofloxacin streptomycin penicillin ciprofloxacinBottom of Form Which is incorrect about how the pharmaceutical industry has discovered drugs over the past 100 years? The process of discovery has involved custom-designing chemical compounds that we know will bind to target enzymes. The process of discovery has involved screening for chemicals that are toxic to bacteria while being less toxic to human cells. The process of discovery has involved screening thousands of randomly…
The first step for directly linking a microbe to a specific disease according to Koch's postulates is to O isolate microbes from the blood of healthy animals. obtain a sample of blood or other body fluid from a diseased animal. O culture the blood or other body fluid from a discased animal using nutrient medium. O inject a sample of blood or other body fluid from a diseased animal into a healthy animal. O compare the blood of a sick animal to blood obtained from a healthy animal.
