Question
Chapter 1.1, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
The tiny organisms which could be viewed only under the aided eye are referred to as microorganisms. In general, microorganisms lack highly differentiated tissues. They can occur in both multicellular and unicellular forms. The cellular organisms are divided into three domains, namely Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Numerous acellular infectious agents are also included in the microbial world.

Clinical application: A 44-year-old man with HIV is receiving antibiotics through a intravenous
catheter. The antibiotics are to help treat a kidney infection. The patient develops a fever.
Subsequent cultures from the patient's blood, the needle tip, and from the insertion site all show
growth of an organism with large oval-shaped cells. The cells reproduce by budding.
(a) What is your guess about the identity of the pathogen?
(b) How do you think the antibiotics may have contributed to this outcome?
(c) What do you think the portal of entry was for this pathogen?
Q10) What genera produce endospores?
- What culture would have more endospores? A bacterium in broth culture for 24 hour or 72 hours?
- How specifically does a flagella stain let us see the flagella? (they’re too thin to be seen with 1000X magnification)
BAX vs VIDAS: Two automated methods for detection of pathogenic microbes
How are these methods similar?
Are there advantages to one vs the other?
Describe the technology behind each system.
