Question 2

Semmelweis identified that medical students were responsible for the high mortality rate from puerperal fever in post-partum patients.&#8203;

Accepted Answer

Semmelweis discovered that medical students, who often conducted dissections between handling pregnant women, were transmitting infections to the patients and causing high mortality rates from puerperal fever.

Question 3

Which early pioneer in microbiology first theorized that disease was spread through direct contact or airborne transmission? &#8203;&#10;A)&#8203;Girolamo Fracastoro&#10;B)&#8203;Edward Jenner&#10;C)&#8203;John Needham&#10;D)&#8203;Francesco Redi

Accepted Answer

Girolamo Fracastoro, an Italian physician and scholar, proposed the theory of contagion in the early 16th century, which suggested that diseases were caused by tiny invisible particles that could spread by direct contact or through the air. He was one of the first scientists to advocate for the use of quarantine to contain the spread of infectious diseases.

Question 4

Robert Koch developed which of the following laboratory technique which is now a standard method for culturing bacterial colonies? &#8203;&#10;A)&#8203;Pasteurization by heating&#10;B)&#8203;S-shaped flasks with broth&#10;C)&#8203;Streak plate wire-loop method&#10;D)&#8203;Variolation from pustules

Accepted Answer

The streak plate wire-loop method is a technique developed by Robert Koch and is a standard method for culturing bacterial colonies. It involves using a wire loop to streak the surface of agar in a petri dish with bacteria, and then incubating the dish to allow the bacteria to grow and form visible colonies. This technique is still widely used in microbiology laboratories today.

Accepted Answer

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, a Dutch scientist and one of the pioneers in the development of the microscope, used the term "animalcules" to describe the microscopic organisms he observed in various samples. This term reflects the early observations and descriptions of microorganisms before the modern understanding of microbiology.
