DDT was a highly effective insecticide developed in the 1940s. DDT was so good at killing mosquitoes and reducing malaria that i

ts inventor, Paul Muller, won the Nobel Prize. But in the 1960's it was discovered that DDT is taken up by algae in the water, increasing in concentration at each step of the food chain, because the pesticide remains in the fat tissues of organisms. The ecological problem that resulted from DDT use is called A) biohazard. B) bioremediation. C) biomagnification. D) food chain interruption.

What are biofilms, how do they form, and how can biofilms complicate treatment of infectious diseases?
Elis [28]

Answer:

<u>Biofilms are</u> defined as complex communities of microorganisms that grow embedded in a self-produced polymeric organic matrix and adhered to a living or inert surface, and that can present a single microbial species or a range of different species

Explanation:

The bacteria that form the biofilm are in what is called sessile form, exhibiting a phenotype different from those of the same cells in unicellular or free form (planktonic form) with respect to the growth rate and gene transcription (Donlan, 2002 ).

<u> The formation</u> of biofilms is an adaptive strategy of microorganisms, since growth in biofilm offers four important advantages: (I) protects microorganisms from the action of adverse agents, (II) increases the availability of nutrients for their growth, (III) facilitates the use of water, reducing the possibility of dehydration and (IV) enables the transfer of genetic material (DNA). All of these circumstances can increase your survival capabilities. As a consequence, <u>the usual methods of disinfection or the use of antibiotics are often ineffective against biofilm bacteria</u>.

In addition to the risk of contamination, the development of biofilms can interfere with different processes and cause damage to the equipment. In drinking water systems the formation of biofilms can obstruct the pipes reducing their speed and transport capacity causing an increase in energy consumption. The formation of biofilm in heat exchangers and cooling towers can reduce heat transfer and as a consequence its efficiency in the process. The formation of persistent biofilms on metal surfaces can cause corrosion due to acid production by bacteria.

larisa86 [58]

The correct answer is: Collaborate with the care team to have the client's prothrombin time and international normalized ratio (INR) assessed.

Also, because of the use of anticoagulants like warfarin, the nurse should perform a neurologic assessment (eg, level of consciousness, pupil response, vital signs).
