For each of the following: Cyanobacteria, Coronavirus, Chytrids, Ciliates, and Chronic wasting disease. Explain with details how does the pathogen invades our tissues and body after transmission. You need to include any receptors, steps etc. in its life cycle and/or the type of replication or reproduction it exhibits and how and where it exits the cells, tissues, or body. This section can also include how it spreads through the body if that is relevant.
CAN Corynebacterium diphtheriae be infected by a viruses. I know it is a bacteria but I need to know if it is possible for it to be infected by a virus. Please be specific but in terms that is easy to understand. PLEASE answer this specif question. I don't need to know the causes, effects, outcomes, etc of Corynebacterium diphtheriae. I already know that stuff, I need this specific question answered. THANK YOU.
Identifying an unknown bacterium is an essential step in the diagnosis and treatment process. Since not every antibiotic is effective against every type of bacteria, knowing what caused a particular infection allows us to make correct prescriptions so patients can recover more quickly. Knowing the cause of an infection also prevents antibiotic resistance as well, since incorrect prescriptions allow bacteria to be unnecessarily be exposed to antibiotics, increasing the chances of developing resistance.
Bacteria have a single circular chromosome while human cells have 46 linear chromosomes. This means bacteria are considered half lloyd having only one copy of each gene.
74. Clinical case, young homeless man, HIV+. You are working at the community clinic when a young, HIV+, homeless man presents with fever, fatigue and a cough of 6 months duration. You Gram stain a sample of his sputum and examine with your microscope, you see faintly staining bacilli in cords. You next perform an acid-fast stain on the sputum and see red staining bacilli in cords.
