Which of the following would be the best example of the rapid growth rate of microbes impacting humans? O Some types of bacteria and fungi carry out fermentation reactions that are important in making alcoholic beverages and certain foods. O Certain strains of bacteria produce highly toxic compounds during infection, which can cause damage to human cells/tissues or systems. Prior to surgery, surfaces, equipment, and gloves must be sterilized or disinfected. Without these steps, these items are likely to be covered in various microbes, including potentially pathogenic ones. O If leftover food is left at room temperature or in a warm car for a few hours, an initially small population of gastroenteritis-causing bacteria can grow to levels likely to cause illness in someone who eats the food.

there are different methods to be used in order to control opportunistic infection and that includes cleaning, sanitizing, disinfecting, sterilizing... And that depends how they can be applied according to the area and level the health care worker or scientist is and the environment. Do you know how these methods of microbial growth are applied and where?
Which of the following statements regarding microbial death is FALSE? Question options: cell walls are targeted by many microbial control agents the effectiveness of an antibacterial agent is a funciton of its microbial death rate the rate at which microbes are killed is termed the microbial death rate all of these statements are TRUE few antimicrobial agents function through the disruption of protein structure under a given set of conditions, the fraction of a microbial population that dies per minute is typically constant over time

Some bacteria produce the enzyme penicillinase, which breaks the beta-lactam ring in the penicillin molecule and converts it into penicilloic acid, which is harmless to bacteria. This is an example of which of the following mechanisms of antibiotic resistance? which option below is the answer? Destruction or inactivation of the antibiotic by the microbe Preventing penetration to the target site within the microbe Alteration of the drug’s target site(s) within the microbe None of the other four answers are correct Rapid ejection (pumping) of the drug out of the microbial cell
Note that it is not appropriate to self-diagnose outside of a medical context and this is a completely hypothetical scenario. Imagine you have a rash on your foot. You're concerned that it's an infection and inoculate a sample onto an agar plate. You wonder, How can I figure out whether the pathogen is a bacterium vs a eukaryote? You decide to use lab supplies to get a basic understanding of the pathogen. Be specific about what tests you use and what you expect the results to be. Limit yourself to experiments we could do in our lab. What is one experiment you could do, involving culturing the organism?

In lab, sterile technique is important for what reason? none of the answers are correct to ensure that we have not introduced outside microbial variables to prevent our samples from being contaminated with human samples all of the answers are correct to prevent us from getting sick with microbes
Please put the following types of organisms/pathogens into the correct order based on their resistance to general antimicrobial compounds. The MOST resistant description will be #1 and the LEAST resistant description will be #4. Gram positive bacteria Mycobacteria (contain mycolic acids/waxy lipids) Gram negative bacteria Endospores
The survival, growth and reproduction of microorganisms are influenced by physical and nutritional factors in its environment. Give the principle of microbial destruction/microbe population control behind sunbathing sleeping mats and pillows
Besides dehydrated foods, how might the amount of water available to microbes be decreased? Group of answer choices Treatment by non-ionizing radiation. Treatment at high pressures for extended periods of time. Storage at temperatures between -2 and 4 °C. Pasteurization Addition of solutes such as salt or sugar.
