For staining flagella of bacteria use actively motile organisms 20 to 24 hours old, allow to diffuse in sterile water 20 to 30 minutes, transfer droplets of the suspension to clean slides and let evaporate without spreading. Then treat 2 to 4 minutes with the following mordant: tannic acid 10 or 20%, 50 cc.; ferric chloride 5%, 10 to 15 cc.; carbol fuchsin (Ziehl-Nielson), 5 cc.; hydrogen peroxide 3%, 6 to 8 cc. Wash and stain 2 to 3 minutes with a mixture of basic fuchsin, saturated alcoholic, 10 cc.; anilin oil (1 part) and 95% alcohol (3 parts) mixed, 5 cc.; distilled water, 30 cc.; acetic acid, 4%, 1 cc.

sammy [17]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

A) First of all, it must be considered that HIV has a RNA genome.

The reverse transcriptase is a viral enzyme able to convert a RNA molecule (in this case the RNA would be the viral genome) to DNA. This process is important for two reasons:

* The DNA molecule is more stable than RNA --> Therefore, there is a higher likely that the molecule wouldn't be degradated by the host.

* The viral genome made of DNA will be integrated into the host genome --> To do so, it requires to be DNA instead of RNA

B) The inibitor is able to target the Reverse Transcriptase --> So, the likehood of converting RNA to DNA is lower. In this case, the single RNA molecule is less stable than the DNA and the host can degradate it more easily.

C) In general, the viral will not survive the treatment and, hence, the patient will not suffer from the viral infection
