Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason for having the cultivated bacteria reproduce the syphilis disease in the healthy animals even when the causative agent was isolated in pure culture in an attempt to infect the healthy animals.
Introduction:
Syphilis is an STD (sexually transmitted disease) that is caused by Treponema pallidum bacterium. This disease is only caused in humans and spreads by only sexual and oral contacts. The causal organism is an obligate

About becterial enzymes, it is CORRECT to affirm that:
a). Some becterial enzymes can help the microbe fight the immune system, by destroying lgA.b). Coagulases are enzymes that use the host's fibrinogen and form a semi-solid get that isolates amd protects the bacteria.c). Some bacterial enzymes such as hyaluronidase can help the microble move through the host's tissus by destroying the tissue's components.d). Fibrolysin is an enzymes that can help from blood clots.
1) In 2005 a typhoid outbreak in Delmas, South Africa, prompted the widespread testing of food and water sources to ascertain the origin of the outbreak. However, the origin of the outbreak could not be definitely tracesd. What could have been the possible reasons for this state of affairs?
2) A hypothetical culture media is being developed for the isolation of Salmonella Typhimurium. How will these unique characteristics be used to produce a culture media that is both selective and differential for the isolation of presumptive Salmonella Typhimurium?
Why must the top agar be supplemented with maltose?
A) Maltose allows for binding of the phage to the E. Coli and aids in the infection process
B) Maltose helps stabilize the phage within the media

- Identifying an unknown bacterium is an essential step in the diagnosis and treatment process. Since not every antibiotic is effective against every type of bacteria, knowing what caused a particular infection allows us to make correct prescriptions so patients can recover more quickly. Knowing the cause of an infection also prevents antibiotic resistance as well, since incorrect prescriptions allow bacteria to be unnecessarily be exposed to antibiotics, increasing the chances of developing resistance.arrow_forwardPropionibacterium acnes is a normal member of the skin microbiome that benefits the body by lowering the skin's pH- an antimicrobial effect.

- Penicillin was first used in the 1940s to treat gonorrhea infections produced by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. In 1984, according to the CDC, fewer than 1% of gonorrhea infections were caused by penicillin-resistant N. gonorrhoeae. By 1990, more than 10% of cases were penicillin resistant and a few years later the level of resistance was 95%. Explain the various ways this resistance could be spread among the cells. Could this resistance pass to other infectious bacteria from N. gonorrhoeae?arrow_forwardWhich one(s) is/are more harmful to the host and why?
