Question

A: The Disturbing Discharge You are working in a gynecologist's office. Your first patient is a 19-year old woman who complains that she has experienced vaginal itching and a frothy greenish-white vaginal discharge with a strong odor for the past several days. When you examine her, you observe inflammation of the genital region. When you ask your patient if she is sexually active, she tells you she has had two sexual partners in the past 4 months. You swab the patient and send the specimen off to the clinical lab for analysis. Based upon the patient's symptoms, you hypothesize that a bacterium, fungus or protozoan causes the patient's infection. While you await your patient's lab results, you decide to make a table comparing the cellular structure of a bacterial cell with a fungal cell. 1. Complete the table below to show the key differences in the cellular structure of bacteria and fungi. For each question, identify which part would be found in a bacterial cell and which part would be found in a fungal cell. Bacteria Fungus nucleus or nucleoid peptidoglycan cell wall or chitin cell wall reproductive spores or endospores 60S/40S ribosomes or 50S/30S ribosomes When viewed under the microscope, your patient's sample was found to contain cells with 60S/405 ribosomes. 2. Based upon the patient's signs and symptoms and the clinical lab results above, you narrow the diagnosis down to 2 potential types of vaginal infections. Identify 2 types of microbes (Gram + bacteria, Gram - bacteria, protozoan, virus, or yeast) that could be causing your patient's infection. Explain how you know. Further examination reveals that the microbe does not have a cell wall, but does have 5 flagella. 3. Based on your patient's symptoms, history, and the lab results from the vaginal swab, what specific type of microbe (Genus species is most likely causing your patient's infection.
