long introduction on super bacteria/super bugs
Homework Answers
Superbugs is the term which is used for those bacteria which are resistant to the majority of antibiotics. Antibiotic/ antimicrobial resistance is the ability of microbes to resist the effect of antibiotics/ any medication. If they become resistant to multiple antibiotics then they are known as multidrug resistant organisms. Superbugs lead to development of various diseases such as urinary tract infections, skin infections , pneumonia etc which cannot be treated easily.
Superbug develop this antimicrobial resistance through the following mechanisms:
a) Lack of entry of drug
b) Degradation of antibiotics
c) alteration of antimicrobial targets

A biologist is cultivating a kind of super-bacteria in his laboratory. In a successful experiment, the number of super-bacteria will be doubled. However, the number of super-bacteria will stay the same if the experiment fails. (a) Suppose now there are exactly 1 million super-bacteria and the experiment has a 50 % chance of failing. Also suppose that the outcomes of individual experiments are independent of each other. What is the probability that there are exactly 16 million super-bacteria after doing...

Proper hand washing helps prevent the spread of infections. Unfortunately, "smart bugs" can still find alternate ways to invade the body. Some of these bugs are viral and some are bacterial. What is the difference? For this assignment, provide the following information in a 1-page Word document: Compare and contrast bacteria versus viruses. How do bacteria and viruses invade the human body? Provide symptoms that people may experience. When is it necessary to prescribe antibiotics? What happens when antibiotics are...

Use the following information for the NEXT 5 QUESTIONS Soapberry bugs are found in the southern U.S. including Oklahoma. They feed only on plants in the family Sapindaceae by inserting their piercing mouthparts into the fruits and sucking the contents of the seeds. The lengths of the "beaks" of these bugs reflect the size of the fruits on which they feed. Those populations that feed on big fruits tend to have long beaks; those feeding on smaller fruits have short...

Froghoppers may be the insect jumping champs. These 6-mm-long bugs can spring 70 cm into the air, about the same distance as the flea. But the froghopper is 60 times more massive than a 12-mg flea. The froghopper pushes off for about 4 mm. Determine the average force that the froghopper exerts on the surface.
