- Name three bacterial species that is contributing to advancing medical therapy and indicate each contribution.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT true about Koch's postulates? First developed by Robert Koch, the pioneering German microbiologist In the first step, the microbe that causes a naturally occurring disease is cultured from a "wild" (non-laboratory) animal which has that disease None of the other four answers (All are true about Koch's Postulates) They represent a process for showing a causal association between a specific microbe and a disease If the same microbe from a diseased "wild" (non-laboratory) host causes the same disease in a lab animal and it can be cultured from that lab animal, this proves that the microbe is the cause of the naturally occurring diseasearrow_forwardA patient is suffering from a bacterial pathogenic disease and you are given the patient's sample culture. As a clinical laboratory scientist, identify the 2 tests you would perform to identify the correct course of treatment. These tests have been taught in lab. Note: Identify the tests you would perform and NOT the disease or the specific drug to treat the disease.arrow_forward
- the following are the steps, listed in random order, for utilizing koch's postulates. what should be the second step out of the four listed? a. a microorganism is found to be present in every case of a disease. 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 hostarrow_forwardhttps://courses.lumenlearning.com/microbiology/chapter/controlling-microbial-growth/ Read this Article about Controlling Microbial Growth and answer the following questions: What are some characteristics of microbes and infectious agents that would require handling in a BSL-3 laboratory? What is the purpose of degerming? Does it completely eliminate microbes? What are some factors that alter the effectiveness of a disinfectant?arrow_forwardthere are 2 domains of the microbial world. true or falsearrow_forward
- Question 16 Within the context of infectious disease, which of the following specimens would be considered irretrievable? Question 16 options: a) Wound swab b) Blood sample for therapeutic drug monitoring c) Cerebrospinal fluid d) Urine samplearrow_forwardWhat are three public health measures that could reduce the probability that bacteria will develop resistance to antibiotics? Be specific in your description, and remember to include evidence to support your answer. write a brief paragraph for each one of them. Be sure to include links / citations / references to support your answers.arrow_forwardThe following are the limitations of Koch's postulates EXCEPT: A. some pathogens cannot grow on artificial media and therefore cannot be identified as the causative agent of the disease B. some diseases involve multiple pathogens which produce similar symptoms making it difficult to pinpoint the causative agent C. some diseases are host-specific and re-inoculation may pose ethical concerns D. some microorganisms are present in the body fluids of the infected animal which make them difficult to be culturedarrow_forward

How much time is it estimated that these microbes would need to grow? What would be one biotechnological application afforded by learning more about deep subsurface microbes?arrow_forwardAnthrax-laced letters were sent to the Senior Librarian recently. After the building was evacuated and all of the potentially exposed workers had received antibiotics to prevent the establishment of infection, no one was sure how to disinfect the building to make it safe for the return of workers. Your team has been hired by the Management to develop a plan to decontaminate the Building Complex after the arrival of anthrax-laced letters. The Building Complex contains thousands of valuable documents that cannot be destroyed. Workers need to be able to return to the buildings, although they do not need to return immediately. You need to guarantee the safety of workers who return. a. Can you devise an experimental setting to test the effectiveness of your strategy?b. What advice would you give to workers concerned with contaminating their family members?arrow_forwardWhat will pose an ethical issue in these procedures are performed - mutilation, sterilization?arrow_forward
