Question

Based on this passage, what is campylobacter?

Answer 1

Answer: a drug-resistant bacteria

Explanation: in the passage, we can read that:

"Campylobacter is estimated to cause approximately 1.3 million infections, 13,000 hospitalizations, and 120 deaths each year in the United States. "

from this, we can expect that the campylobacter is some form of bacteria or virus.

" The CDC is seeing resistance to ciprofloxacin in almost 25 percent of campylobacter tested and resistance to azithromycin in about 2 percent. "

And here we can see that the campylobacter shows resistance to some drugs.

Then the option that makes sense is:

2) a drug-resistant bacteria

Answer 2

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option 4. Base from the passage given above, it is very clear that the Campylobacter is a bacteria used to test in identifying drug-resistant bacteria. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
