Week 4: Antibiotic Resistance I chose to be the patient with possible MRSA. 1. Is this infection likely MRSA? 2. What would a MRSA infection look like on a patient; for example, describe how the wound presents. 3. Was the patient exposed to MRSA in the hospital prep, during the surgery the week previously or sometime afterwards (post- discharge)? 4. Where does liability for this (potential) infection rest?

BIOL202 Week 7 Project; Spicy Food and Inhibition of Pathogenic Microbial Growth

Week 7: Gamma Rays and Microbial Genetics For this discussion, I chose Topic 1 Pro Gamma Irradiation of Food.  Would you eat gamma-irradiated strawberries?  Gamma-irradiation does extend the shelf-life but after some time, mold does begin to grow. Where does the mold come from?  Was the mold already present on the strawberries and the growth slowed by the gamma irradiation?  If gamma irradiation becomes the standard for processing produce, over time will the constant radiation e...

Week 5: Immunity and Probiotics For this discussion, I chose Activia yogurt. 1. What part of immunity or our immune system might probiotics exert an effect, if any? 2. Explain the proposed mechanism(s) of how probiotics work? 3. Does one have to buy a special brand of the products for it to work? 4. You only chose one of the topics, but what is the common denominator from all of them (it's a microbe)?
