Correct answer
Question 1
pts
Match the following terms:
Inhibit bacterial proliferation and growth
bacteriostatic
Kill bacteria
bactericidal
Targets a minimal number of types of bacteria
Narrow spectrum antibiotic
Correct answer
Question 2
pts
What differentiates an upper urinary tract infection (UTI) from a lower UTI?
Upper UTIs are less serious and affect the urethra and bladder.
Lower UTIs can lead to systemic infections like bacteremia.
Upper UTIs involve the kidneys and ureters and can be more severe.
, Lower UTIs are caused by catheters and anatomical malformations.
Correct answer
Question 3
pts
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are significant because they:
Have the lowest occurrence among healthcare-acquired infections.
A leading cause of secondary bacteremia in healthcare settings
Are easily treated with first-line antibiotics and rarely recur.
Are the least common cause of secondary bacteremia in hospitals.
Correct answer
Question 4
pts
What is intrinsic resistance in the context of bacterial defense mechanisms?
Natural resistance due to inherent structural or functional characteristics.
Resistance obtained through the mutation of genetic material.
Resistance due to previously acquired immunity from vaccines.
Resistance developed through the overuse of antibiotics in medical treatments.
Resistance that occurs due to the transmission of genes from one species to another. Correct
answer
Question 5
pts
True or False: Transformation is a process that can only occur in a limited number of bacterial species.
True
(Approximately 80 bacterial species are known to undergo transformation.)
False
Correct answer
Question 6
pts
An experiment that uses a bacteriophage to transfer antibiotic resistance genes between bacterial cells
would be an example of which horizontal gene transfer process?
