Answer:

Most glycogen is stored in the liver.

Explanation:

Glycogen is a polysaccharide made up of thousands of glucose units and, like all polysaccharides, has no sweetened taste. Thus, glycogen is a macromolecule that is chemically considered as a polymer formed by the association of glucose monomers.

The main concentrated glycogen storage organ is the liver, where this substance represents approximately 10% of its weight. Another place where we can find it is in the skeletal striated muscles, representing an important element of energy support. The amount of glycogen present in the muscles is very small (0.7% of their weight), however, due to the large amount of muscles, the stored glycogen value is higher than the amount stored in the liver.

MRSA has emerged as a serious infectious disease, with the first case of methicillin-resistant S. aureus being detected in 1961.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

All of the options are true for a MRSA infection.

Explanation:

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most frequent pathogens causing hospital and community infections. S. aureus can become very easy methicillin resistant (called MRSA isolates) and others beta-lactam antibiotics (are the ones widely used to treat infections) and usually can be resistant to other class of antibiotics, become a very strong bacteria making treatment options very limited. MRSA isolates can rapidly transfer the methicillin resistance to other species of Staphylococcus and some other bacteria. Also S. aureus can acquire other antibiotic resistant genes making a deadly bacterium for its strong resistance. It is in search how the bacterium acquire this antibiotics resistance ( and other virulence factors genes) and the mechanism involve to develop new drugs to treat MRSA infections with the hope that can´t develop resistance to this new drugs.
