Which statements describe ways in which antibiotic resistant bacteria can spread? Health care workers become infected after have interacting with sick patients. Hospital visitors transfer resistant bacteria from patients to family or community members. Animals raised for meat or milk are routinely given antibiotics. Animal feces is used as a fertilizer for food crops. Antibacterial soaps are used at home, at schools, and in hospitals.

Identifying an unknown bacterium is an essential step in the diagnosis and treatment process. Since not every antibiotic is effective against every type of bacteria, knowing what caused a particular infection allows us to make correct prescriptions so patients can recover more quickly. Knowing the cause of an infection also prevents antibiotic resistance as well, since incorrect prescriptions allow bacteria to be unnecessarily be exposed to antibiotics, increasing the chances of developing resistance.
Which of the following are criteria for antibiotics? (select all that apply) Chemical substance produced by a microbe Kills viruses Stops the growth or kills other microorganisms Effective in small doses
Fill-in-the-Blank Antibiotics that retard the growth of bacteria are called __________ agents. Medications applied to the skin or into external body structures, such as the ear or eye, are commonly called ____________ agents. Topical agents designed to be absorbed through the skin for systemic effects are commonly called ____________ medications. Ophthalmic preparations used to dilate pupils during physical examination of the eye are commonly called ___________. _______________, a pregnancy category C agent, is a potent vasodilator that has long been the treatment of choice for acute angina pectoris.
Bacteria exhibit drug resistance only by genetic means. OPTIONS: True False
What are three public health measures that could reduce the probability that bacteria will develop resistance to antibiotics? Be specific in your description, and remember to include evidence to support your answer.
An advantage of a point-of-care (POC) test is that effective antibiotic therapy can begin without a delay of waiting for off-site laboratory results. detection of multiple infections is more likely. clinicians are able to diagnose diseases based on clinical signs and symptoms alone. health care workers have a lower risk of exposure to pathogens.
All of the following are true of antibodies EXCEPT: Each individual antibody molecule is specific for more than one type of antigen They are made of proteins They are also called immunoglobulins They are produced in response to antigens They are produced by plasma cells
Below are a list of virulence factors/ strategies paired with an example of an organism that utilizes them. How do each of the following strategies contribute to the virulence of the pathogen? Strategy - Causes the host to produce more receptors (Organism - Rhinovirus) Strategy - Produces gas as a product of fermentation (Organism - Clostridium perfringens) Strategy - Produces a capsule (organism - Klebsiella pneumonia) Strategy - Ability to move between adjacent cells (organism - Cytomegalovirus) Strategy - Ability to use pilus as a motility structure (organism - Pseudomonas aerogenosa)
The question below is one question I just separated the question marks 1) How are antibiotics, as a class of drugs, unique? 2)How does this facilitate resistance? 3)How are antibiotics misused?
Which of the following is an example of a noncommunicable infectious disease? infection with a respiratory virus food poisoning due to a preformed bacterial toxin in food skin infection acquired from a dog bite infection acquired from the stick of a contaminated needle
When a bacterium is pathogenic, how does it affect its host (the plant or animal that the bacterium lives in or on)? it causes disease in the host it benefits the host it definitely improves the host’s environment it has no effect on the host
what segment of government was designed by the obama administration to coordinate efforts to combat antibiotics resistance? NIH department of health and human services NIAID CDC
