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

Why are medical professionals so concerned when antibiotics exist that can kill MRSA?
MRSA can transfer methicillin-resistance to other bacteria.
Patients are not treated with correct antibiotics rapidly enough to prevent serious illness.
MRSA could acquire additional antibiotic resistance genes from other bacteria to become a "super bug."
All of the above.

Answer:

All of the options are true for a MRSA infection.

Explanation:

<em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> is one of the most frequent pathogens causing hospital and community infections. <em>S. aureus</em> 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 S<em>taphylococcus</em> and some other bacteria. Also <em>S. aureus</em> 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.

You INCORRECTLY perform an acid-fast stain on a smear from a mixed culture of Mycobacterium smegmatis (acid-fast) cells and Stap
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

In acid-fast staining, carbon fuchsin is used as a primary stain which dissolves the mycolic acid present in the cell wall of <em>Mycobacterium smegmatis </em>and penetrates through it which results in staining <em>Mycobacterium</em> red.

Staphylococcus aureus cell wall does not contain mycolic acid so carbon fuchsin does not penetrate its cell wall, therefore, it becomes colorless after destaining with acid alcohol.

After destaining step methylene blue is added to stain non-acid-fast bacteria blue. So if I mistakenly forgot to use methylene blue during the procedure <em>Mycobacterium smegmatis</em> will appear red due to carbon fuchsin present in their cell wall and S<em>taphylococcus aureus</em> will appear colorless because it is destained.

Which cells are required to process and present antigens from foreign material as the initial step in the immune response?
Alexxandr [17]
<span>The macrophage is the cell responsible for detecting, engulfing and destroying pathogens and apoptotic cells. These cells process and present antigens (foreign materials) to immunocompetent cells and thus they are the key mediators in the development of all immune reactions.</span>

In a sample of double-stranded DNA, 10 percent of the nitrogenous bases are guanine (G). What percentage of the nitrogenous base
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

40%

Explanation:

Remember that guanine always pairs with cytosine, and thymine always pairs with adenine. That means that any time there is a guanine, there is always a cytosine.

If there are 10% guanines, then there are 10% cytosines. That means the total of guanines and cytosines is 20%.

The other 2 bases (thymine and adenine) have to make up the rest of the bases. That means they have to make up 100-20 = 80%.

Again, there will be equal amounts of thymine and adenine, so 80%/2 = 40%.
