Answer:
1. A. Pseudomonas and E. coli
2. B. Red without black center
3. B. Salmon/orange
Explanation:
Pseudomonas is referred to as an oxidase positive bacteria while E. Coli is an oxidase negative bacteria. The use of the oxidase test will be helpful in the differentiation of the two Bacteria according to their oxidase activity/properties.
Colonies of Red without black center color is what is expected on HE agar if shigellosis is suspected.
Colonies of Salmon/Orange color is what is expected on HE agar if Enterococcus sp. is suspected.
The answer is B I'm pretty sure of it.
Answer:
Opportunistic, endogenous pathogen
Explanation:
Opportunistic infection is an infection that is caused by the microbes that are otherwise the component of one's own normal microbiota. Under particular conditions, the microbes become pathogenic and cause infection. The pathogen-derived from one's own microbiota is called endogenous pathogen.
According to the given information, <em>Candida albicans </em>is a part of the microflora of mouth but becomes pathogenic under certain conditions. In healthy individuals, they do not produce disease as their overgrowth is suppressed by other microbiota and other host resistance mechanisms. The infection occurs only in those individuals with predisposing factors such as weakened immune system or after consumption of antibacterial medications that disturb the normal microbiota and immune competency. This makes it an opportunistic, endogenous pathogen.
Answer:
After constructing a prototype of the device, the student concludes that in many regions the monetary cost of building and installing the device would be higher than the cost of acquiring water from other sources. Which of the following would be most appropriate for the student to do next?
redesign the device without the solar panel so that it plugs into an electrical outlet
Explanation:
Because of cost implication, the device is redesigned in order to use other source rather than water which would be cost-effective and generally accepted for use.
