Specimens taken from a patient sample usually contain a mixture of different bacteria. But sample with only one type of bacteria, are necessary to study a bacterial species accurately. Therefore, it is necessary to isolate all of the possible disease causing organisms in order to study the sample by itself. Once isolation of individual colonies is done, then these colonies can be used for identification tests. A sample of the specimen is move very fast onto an agar plate in order to physically separate the bacterial colonies.

This is because the specimens will usually have more than one kind of bacteria, therefore they have to isolate a specimen to study it by itself.

MRSA has emerged as a serious infectious disease, with the first case of methicillin-resistant S. aureus being detected in 1961.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

All of the options are true for a MRSA infection.

Explanation:

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most frequent pathogens causing hospital and community infections. S. aureus can become very easy methicillin resistant (called MRSA isolates) and others beta-lactam antibiotics (are the ones widely used to treat infections) and usually can be resistant to other class of antibiotics, become a very strong bacteria making treatment options very limited. MRSA isolates can rapidly transfer the methicillin resistance to other species of Staphylococcus and some other bacteria. Also S. aureus can acquire other antibiotic resistant genes making a deadly bacterium for its strong resistance. It is in search how the bacterium acquire this antibiotics resistance ( and other virulence factors genes) and the mechanism involve to develop new drugs to treat MRSA infections with the hope that can´t develop resistance to this new drugs.
