The microbiology lab was able to isolate one of the organisms from Tara’s blood. Using a Kirby-Bauer test (disk diffusion assay)

, they assessed the organism for antibiotic resistance. The first column of numbers shows the size of the zone of inhibition (ZOI) in millimeters (mm). The remaining columns show the values needed to define the organism as "resistant," "intermediate," or "susceptible" to that antibiotic. Based on these data, which antibiotic(s) would not be an appropriate choice for treatment? Select all that apply. (NCLEX-HESI-TEAS style)
Kirby-Bauer Assay
Measured
ZOI (mm) R I S
Amoxicillin 25 ≤28 - ≥29
Ciprofloxacin 25 ≤15 16-20 ≥21
Erythromycin 23 ≤13 14-22 ≥23
Gentamicin 16 ≤12 13-14 ≥15
Rifampin 26 ≤16 17-19 ≥20

Answer:

Amoxicillin and Tetracycline

Explanation:

Kirby-Bauer test is used to determine the susceptibility of a bacteria to an antibiotic. The target bacteria is grown on an agar plate. Antibiotic wafers are places on these plates. After some time, the plate is checked. Zone of inhibition (ZOI) is the area around the wafer where no bacteria survived. A reference table is checked for determining the susceptibility of the bacteria to a particular antibiotic. If the value of ZOI is smaller than the value required for susceptibility (S), it means that the bacteria is resistant to that antibiotic.

From the given data, ZOI for Amoxicillin is 25 and S value is ≥29 so the organism in question is resistant to Amoxicillin and Amoxicillin is not an appropriate choice for treatment. Similarly, ZOI for Tetracycline is 18 and S value is ≥19 hence it is not the appropriate choice for treatment.

Answer:  Burping (also known as "belching" or "eructation") is one way the human body expels excess gas in your digestive system. It occurs when your stomach fills with air, which can be caused by swallowing food and liquids. Drinking carbonated beverages, such as soda, is known to increase burping because its bubbles have tiny amounts of carbon dioxide in them.

As an avid soda drinker and statistics student, you notice you tend to burp more after drinking root beer than you do after drinking cola. You decide to determine whether there is a difference between the number of burps while drinking a root beer and while drinking a cola. To determine this, you select 20 students at random from high school, have each drink both types of beverages, and record the number of burps. You randomize which beverage each participant drinks first by flipping a coin. Both beverages contain 12 fluid ounces.

How are humans affecting the global food<br> supply?
Alex787 [66]
We humans are affecting the global food supply because of climate change. As you know the world is super polluted and threat of climate change is the collapse of food systems: Other threats — flooding, storms, forest fires — may be more sudden and severe in certain regions, but disruptions in food supply will affect virtually everyone.
