Which of the following agricultural practices may promote antimicrobial drug resistance? To be marked correct, you'll need to select all applicable statements, as there may be more than one correct answer.
| Use of manure-based fertilizers |
| Genetic engineering of cows to produce human hormones and other drugs |
| Use of manure-contaminated water |
| Including antimicrobials in animal feed |
Antimicrobial drug resistance is the ability of microbes to grow in the presence of a drug that would normally kill them or limit their growth. Thus methods which may promote antimicrobial drug resistance are-
1. including antimicrobials in animal feed- Ingestion of antibiotics by animals results in the development of resistance in bacteria such as in the E. coli and Salmonella species.
2. Genetic engineering of cows to produce human hormones and other drugs.

Which of the following are primary mechanisms through which microorganisms evade antimicrobial drugs? To be marked correct, you'll need to select all applicable statements, as there may be more than one correct answer. Drug target alterations Reducing drug concentration inside of the cell Drug inactivation Decreasing intracellular drug solubility
31. Which of the following is an example of intrinsic resistance? A strain of previously non drug–-resistant Bacillus subtilis acquires a ciprofloxacin resistance gene as a result of genetic transformation with a plasmid containing the drug-resistance gene. A strain of previously non-drug-resistant Escherichia coli receives an amoxicillin resistance gene during conjugation with a drug-resistant strain of Escherichia coli. The bacterium Staphylococcus aureus acquires a mutation in the ribosomal binding site for the antimicrobial drug tetracycline. The bacterium Bacillus cereus produces...

Choose the true statement(s) about keratitis. To be marked correct, you'll need to select all true statements, as there may be more than one correct answer. Keratitis is severe inflammation of the cornea. Protozoan keratitis is caused by Acanthamoeba Keratitis is less serious than conjunctivitis and does not warrant medical attention. Keratitis can be caused by viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic species.
Choose the true statement(s) about plasmids. To be marked correct, you'll need to select all true statements, as there may be more than one correct answer. Plasmid tend to be circular. Plasmids often contain genes that confer a survival advantage to a cell. Plasmids usually consist of single stranded DNA. Plasmids tend to exist outside of a cell's chromosome.
Choose the true statement(s) about the skin's normal microbiota. To be marked correct, you'll need to select all true statements, as there may be more than one correct answer. Pseudomonas species are prevalent on the skin. Staphylococcus species are prevalent on the skin. Normal microbiota reside on the epidermis as well as in sweat glands and sebaceous glands Normal microbiota reside in the subcutaneous layer and in hair follicles.
Choose the true statement(s) regarding phosphodiester bonds. To be marked correct, you'll need to select all true statements, as there may be more than one correct answer. Phosphodiester bonds are what hold the "sugar-phosphate" backbone of DNA together Phosphodiester bonds hold the "rungs" of a double-stranded DNA "ladder" together. Phosphodiester bonds are created by linking the 3' hydroxyl group to the 5' phosphate of an adjacent nucleotide. Phosphodiester bonds are only in DNA
Choose the true statement(s) about gas gangrene and cutaneous anthrax. To be marked correct, you'll need to select all true statements, as there may be more than one correct answer. The bacteria responsible for each of these diseases are naturally found in soil and can cause disease by infecting a wound. Both diseases present with the production of foul smelling gases that are present in bubbles under the skin. Both diseases present with tissue necrosis due to the production of...
