We can select the resistant microbes that were survived on the second day of antibiotic application.

<h3>How can we select for the resistant ones?</h3>

We can select for the resistant ones by only taking antibiotics for 2 days instead of the full 10 days that the drugs were prescribed in order to see the microorganism that survived on the second day. Bacteria get resistance when they are exposed to similar type of chemicals for a long time. Some of bacteria mutate and make defenses against the chemical which leads to survival of that organism.

So we can conclude that We can select the resistant microbes that were survived on the second day of antibiotic application.

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The agent causing the pneumonia, where bluish-green pus was found, is most likely Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Explanation:

Pseudomona aeuriginosa is a gram-negative bacteria that is one of the main causes of hospital-acquired infections, including pneumonias in mechanically ventilated patients.

One of the characteristics of P. aeuriginosa is the formation of a bluish-green pus, since it has the capacity to form cyanide-based blue pigment upon contact with the organic tissues it infects. This is the reason why previously P. aeruginosa was called a pyocyanic bacillus.

<em>     The other options are not correct because the only bacterium that produces blue-green pus is P. aeruginosa.</em>

What happens to the actual image you see between the time you see it and it your brain registers it?
USPshnik [31]

Answer AND Explanation:

As light reflected from an external object enters the eye, it is refracted by the cornea, aqueous humour, the lens and vitreous humour so that an image is focused on the retina. The image is real, upside down and smaller than the object. The photoreceptor cells are stimulated by the reflected light and impulses are set off. The impulses are transmitted by neurons through the optic nerve to the optic region of the brain. The brain interprets the impulse as an upright impression of the object.
