(a)You isolate a new pathogenic bacteria, from the sputum of a human patient, which you hypothesize was the cause of a severe respiratory infection. How could you use Koch’s postulates to prove your hypothesis? Which postulate would not be satisfied if the organism was a human-only pathogen? (b)What steps would you take to obtain a pure culture of the bacteria? What staining methods would you use to visualize the sample if you knew that the bacteria had a flagella? (c)...

Imagine that you are observing two human cells under a microscope. They are both from the same individual but do not look the same. You can conclude: 1.The two cells do not have the same genome 2.The two cells have the same genome but are experssing different genes 3.It is impossible to tell if the two cells have the same genome from what we know about the samples. 4.One of the cells is prokaryotic while the other is eukaryotic

After observing your adherent cells in the T75 flask under the microscope, you estimate the confluence of the cells to be around 70%. When you passage the cells, you count the cells using a hemocytometer and obtain a total cell count of 6.5 x 10 cells. (T75 cell yield = 8.4 x 106 cells) 1. What does the cell count (from the hemocytometer) suggest is the % confluence of the flask? 2. Which number would you trust to be more...

You want to diagnose if a patient has tuberculosis. A sputum sample (a respiratory tract sample taken when a person coughs) is given to you. Based on the staining procedures you conducted in lab during week 2, name the staining procedure you would conduct, the dyes used, and describe what you would see on the slide you prepare. Why is this considered a differential procedure?

1. Part A) If a random sample of cells from one of your organs such as your liver or kidneys were checked under a microscope, doctors would expect to see ALL the cells in interphase. If a measurable number of cells were in mitosis, that would be a sign that you might have cancer or be close to developing cancer. Explain why the cells in your functioning organs SHOULD all be in INTERPHASE, not in mitosis. Hint: Make sure to...

2. A middle-aged man presents to the emergency room with chest pain and is found to have suffered a heart attack. He has a past history of hypertension, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), and high cholesterol. Medical evaluation suggested the need for a triple bypass procedure. This is performed on the fifth day of his hospital stay. During recovery, he develops septic shock with fever and pneumonia. Gram-positive cocci in clusters, isolated from both his lungs (via sputum) and the surgical...

When Brian looked under the microscope, he found bacteria thriving inside the amoebae. He was surprised and called Sid over to look. “Wow, that’s unexpected. I wonder what would happen if you add antibiotics to some of the amoebae.” Brian thought about the other experiments he was supposed to be doing , but then decided he was interested enough to continue with this side project. He took Sid’s suggestion and added antibiotics to some of the amoebae. When he added...

1. What can you conclude about a patient exhibiting both hemoglobinemia and hemoglobinuria with respect to where his red blood cells are being destroyed? 2. Why would you predict that incorrect lysis of red blood cells in areas or organs that normally don’t break them down would result in jaundice? 3. You examine blood from a patient that you believe has some form of anemia. Interestingly, you establish that his neutrophils have normal nuclei but the red blood cells can...
