Phagocytic response is considered the most effective host defenses in combating S. aureus infection.

<h3>What is phagocytic response?</h3>

Phagocytosis is a type of cell response that plays a key role in the course of an immune response as well as in the remodeling of tissues and the healing of wounds. Professional phagocytes are specialized cells that can carry out this task quite effectively.

<h3>What is S. aureus infection?</h3>

It has long been known that S. aureus is one of the most significant germs that harm humans. It is the main contributor to skin and soft tissue infections such cellulitis, furuncles, and abscesses (boils). Boils are the most typical staph infection form. This is a pus-filled pocket that forms in an oil gland or hair follicle. Typically, the skin around the infected area turns red and swells. To treat staph infections, doctors frequently administer cefazolin, nafcillin, oxacillin, vancomycin, daptomycin, and linezolid. Vancomycin may be necessary for staph infections that are severe. This is due to the fact that a large number of staph bacterium strains have developed resistance to other common antibiotics.

Thus from above conclusion we can say that phagocytic response is considered the most effective host defenses in combating S. aureus infection.

Viewed from ecliptic north, what is the direction of rotation (clockwise or counterclockwise) of Venus around its axis? Of Earth

denis23 [38]

<span>If you were to look down at the plane of the solar system from its 'north pole' you would see the planets orbiting the Sun counter clockwise, and rotating on their axis counterclockwise. Except for Venus. Venus would be rotating clockwise as it orbited the Sun counterclockwise. Venus is not alone. The axis of Uranus is inclined so far towards the plane of the solar system that it almost rolls on its side as it orbits the Sun.</span>

Describe pros and cons of genetic engineering to modify food and in-vitro fertilization.

juin [17]

Genetic engineering:Pros: produces more food, makes organisms more fit, increases knowledge and knowledge is good.Cons: Some say it's: playing God, dangerous due to recombination of DNA, contamination of the gene pool, big pharma could take over the "means of production".
In-vitro fertilization: Pros: Allows people who couldn't have children to do so, increases knowledge and knowledge is good.Cons: Expensive (really expensive), can lead to overpopulation (minor), can be done irresponsibly (minor as everything can be).
