How will doctors most likely respond to someone who has an active case of drug-resistant tuberculosis?
Doctors will not be able to do anything to help someone with drug-resistant TB.
Doctors will expose other people to the patient to help those people develop a resistance to TB.
Doctors will use other drugs that are known to be able to treat TB, even if they are less effective than the common drugs.
Doctors will use the patient to test the effectiveness of new antibiotics that have not been tried on people yet.

Ans.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that affects mainly respiratory tract and can be transmitted from one to another person through contaminated air. The causative agent of tuberculosis, <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> has developed resistance against many antibiotics, such as rifampin and isoniazid, which is known as tuberculosis drug resistance.

If a person infected with TB shows drug resistance against some TB drugs, 'doctors should give other TB drugs to that person, even if these drugs show less effect than common drugs'. This is because these drugs can prevent or kill the bacterium more effectively than the common drugs for which, bacterium is resistance.

A newborn baby dies soon after birth because her diaphragm and rib cage muscles failed to contract and she was unable to breathe
kozerog [31]

Answer:

Troponin

Explanation:

This is a complex of three proteins  (Trop C, I, T) that are responsible for muscle contraction of  the skeletal and cardiac  muscles . its binds with protein tropomysin  to lie in the grove between the actin filaments.  its prevents contraction by blocking  myosin crossbridge  in a relax muscles.Inorder to aid contractions  calcium ions binds with troponin, which leads to confrontational change.This exposes myosin on actin filaments,  leading to formation of crossbridge and therefore contraction of muscles.

Therefore if there is  a mutation in the gene that encoded Troponin, as explained above, calcium ion  will not be able to bind with tropinin, and there will be no exposure of myosin on actin filaments, no binding of  myosin on actin to cause crossbridge, and consequently no  muscle contraction,

Thus the intercoastal  muscle and diaphragm will not contract leading to death of the baby.
