Accepted Answer

Bacteriostatic

Question 2

Select the best response to the question. Which of the following statements describes the "Golden Age of Microbiology?"

Accepted Answer

The "Golden Age of Microbiology" is typically considered to be the period from the late 1800s to the early 1900s when numerous advancements were made in the field of microbiology, including the identification and cultivation of many bacterial pathogens.

Question 3

Place the following developments in microbiology in order from earliest to the most recent. 1: Koch presented the germ theory of disease.  , 2: Leeuwenhoek developed the microscope.  , 3: Fleming identified and developed penicillin.  , 4: Semmelweis utilized hand washing as an antiseptic procedure.

Accepted Answer

D

Question 4

Fill in the blanks to complete the following statements.  
Tuberculosis, botulism, and tetanus are examples of diseases caused by rod-shaped bacteria known as ______________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Fill in the blanks to complete the...

Question 5

Most antibiotics are bactericidal at low concentrations.

Accepted Answer

Most antibiotics are bacteriostatic at low concentrations, meaning they inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria rather than killing them directly. Bactericidal antibiotics, which kill bacteria, typically require higher concentrations to be effective.

Question 6

Select the best response to the question. Which of the following is a clinical indication for the use of a broad spectrum antibiotic?

Accepted Answer

Broad spectrum antibiotics are used when the pathogen has not yet been identified, as they are effective against a wide range of bacteria, allowing treatment to begin before specific identification.

Question 7

Fill in the blanks to complete the following statements.  
______________ is the study of disease patterns and the spread of disease within a population.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Fill in the blanks to complete the...

Question 8

The species name is given to a group of bacteria with similar characteristics.

Accepted Answer

The species name is given to a group of organisms that share similar characteristics and can interbreed, not specifically to bacteria. In taxonomy, bacteria are classified into species based on genetic and phenotypic similarities.

Question 9

Match between columns
                        Premises: Focuses on the identification of fungi, including yeasts and molds, which can cause infection.
Identifying a pathogen that causes disease in the body.
Specializes in identification, study, and treatment of viral infections.
Responsible for the growth, isolation, identification, and treatment recommendations of bacterial infections.
Administering antibiotic A to one group of patients with pneumonia and antibiotic B to a different group of patients with pneumonia and evaluating how each of group of patients responds to treatment.
Responsible for identifying specific parasitic infections.

Accepted Answer

The Answer of comparative research and parasitology and virology and is...

Question 10

Select the best response to the question. Which of the following is an important advantage of the broth dilution method over the disk diffusion method of susceptibility testing?

Accepted Answer

The broth dilution method can identify the drug concentration or dosage needed to inhibit organism growth, which is important in determining the appropriate dosage for treatment. The disk diffusion method only provides information on whether the organism is sensitive, intermediate, or resistant to the tested antibiotic.

Question 11

Identify all answer choices that best complete the question. Which of the following are characteristics of binary fission?

Accepted Answer

Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which the cell divides its DNA and other organelles and then divides itself in half. Therefore, options A, C, and D are all characteristics of binary fission. Option B is incorrect because binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction, not sexual reproduction.

Question 12

Place the steps for the disk diffusion method of susceptibility testing in the correct order. 1: Antibiotic-containing paper disks are placed on the bacteria.  , 2: Determinations of sensitivity or resistance are made.  , 3: Bacteria are cultured and grown in a petri dish.  , 4: Areas without bacterial growth are measured.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Place the steps for the disk diffusion...

Question 13

Identify all answer choices that best complete the question. Which of the following rules are followed when naming bacterial cells?

Accepted Answer

The genus and species names are italicized, and the genus name is capitalized and written first.

Question 14

Select the best response to the question. You are preparing a hospitalized patient for discharge home. What are the important instructions to include in your discharge medication teaching?

Accepted Answer

It is important to instruct the patient to take all of the prescribed antibiotics to ensure that the infection is fully treated and to decrease the risk of antibiotic resistance and disease recurrence.

Question 15

Select the best response to the question. What is the purpose of a simple stain?

Accepted Answer

The purpose of a simple stain is to provide contrast to better illustrate the structure and arrangement of bacterial cells. It does not identify gram-negative or gram-positive bacteria, or provide additional information about the cell based on the composition of the cell wall.

Question 16

Match between columns
                        Premises: Linked together in clusters.
A single formation.
Linked together in chains.
Linked together in pairs.

Accepted Answer

The Answer of monococci and streptococci and diplococci and staphylococci is...
