Answer;

The above statement is true

Explanation;

-Complement is a system of plasma proteins that can be activated directly by pathogens or indirectly by pathogen-bound antibody, leading to a cascade of reactions that occurs on the surface of pathogens and generates active components with various effector functions.

-C3b is the larger of two elements formed by the cleavage of complement component 3, and is considered an important part of the innate immune system. C3b is potent in opsonization: tagging pathogens, immune complexes (antigen-antibody), and apoptotic cells for phagocytosis.

Vilka [71]

Answer:

Myelodysplastic (Ans. A)

Explanation:

Acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML): Is also called malignant blood cell cancer which can affect both adults & children. It is a fast-growing malignant disease where too many immature myeloblasts (WBS) are found in the RBC & bone marrow. Acute myeloblastic leukemia starts while chronic leukemia present from a long time & grow gradually. Symptoms of acute myeloblastic leukemia are:

High fever, a large no. of infections over a short period, pain in the joints, sweating a lot, etc.

Myelodysplastic syndrome: It is a group of disorder caused by blood cells (which is immature & don't work properly). Instead of developing properly the blood cells die in the bone marrow.

A microbiologist was surprised when he could not recover Helicobacter pylori from gastric biopsies in which organisms were seen
creativ13 [48]

A microbiologist was surprised when he could not recover Helicobacter pylori from gastric biopsies in which organisms were seen in the tissue sections. He was advised to switch from the Campy BAP selective medium to Skirrow's blood agar because the latter is free of cephalothin.

  • A broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic called cephalothin is used to treat severe bacterial infections in the urinary tract, skin, bones, and lower respiratory tract.
  • A beta-lactam, first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with bactericidal activity, cephalothin is semi-synthetic.
  • Penicillin-binding proteins (PBP) on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall are bound by cephalothin and rendered inactive.
  • PBPs take involvement in the last phases of bacterial cell wall construction as well as the remodeling of the cell wall during cell division.
  • PBP inactivation hinders the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains, which is essential for the strength and stiffness of bacterial cell walls.
