Klebsiella pneumoniae, a gram negative, lactose-fermenting, non-motile bacilli once plated in MacConkey agar plate can produce a typical mucoid colony. The organism has the following bacterial structures: a. Thin peptidoglycan, capsule, Lipoolygosaccharide (LOS), flagella b. Thin peptidoglycan, capsule, pili, Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), flagella c. Thick peptidoglycan, capsule, Lipoolygosaccharide (LOS), flagella d. Think peptidoglycan, capsule, pili, Lipopylysaccharide (LPS), flagella

Name two methods of control of growth for Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogen in a patient with the disease and when confronted with the pathogen outside of the host. Be careful to specify if it is a physical method or a chemical method (check lecture to differentiate these two). Control of growth means how would you deal with an infection related to a person as well as how would you minimize the presence of the bacteria on a surface or object.

A farmer working on a piece of machinery gets his shirtsleeve caught in a moving piece of the equipment. His shirt is sliced, and a sharp blade covered in mud slices through his upper arm. He attempts to control the bleeding and immediately seeks medical attention. After 3 days, he develops a fever and his arm becomes extremely swollen and painful. Pulling back the bandages, he finds that the wound has become blackened and is leaking bloody fluid. Microscopic analysis of the fluid reveals the presence of gram-positive bacilli. a. Discuss what condition the patient is suffering from and the likely causative agent of this infection. b. Explain how the patient contracted this pathogenic microbe and what virulence factors contributed to the pathogenesis seen at the wound site. c. In addition to antibiotics, the physician prescribes hyperbaric therapy. Describe what this treatment involves and how it could be therapeutic to this patient.
