Ed. With Correct Solutions
Aerobic - Ans--bacteria that depend on oxygen for survival
Anaerobic - Ans--bacteria that survive without oxygen, which are often
found in chronic infections and the GI tract
antibiotic - Ans--A chemical that inhibits the growth of specific bacteria or
causes the death of susceptible bacteria
Gram-negative - Ans--Bacteria that have only a thin layer of peptidoglycan,
making them less likely to absorb stain or become decolorized by alcohol;
these bacteria are frequently associated with infections of the genitourinary
or GI tract.
Gram-positive - Ans--Bacteria that have cell walls with more peptidoglycan
layers, which absorb more stain or resist decolorization with alcohol during
preliminary identification; these bacteria are frequently associated with
infections of the respiratory tract or soft tissues.
Gram staining - Ans--A process used to identify between types of bacteria
based on differences of components in their cell walls.
synergistic - Ans--drugs that work together to increase drug effectiveness
Bacteriostatic - Ans--inhibits growth of bacteria
Bactericidal - Ans--Killing bacteria directly
acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) - Ans--collection of
opportunistic infections and cancers that occurs when the immune system
is severely depressed by a decrease in the number of functioning helper T
cells; caused by infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
