CASE 2: Mrs. Smith, а 62-yeаr-оld hоusewife, is аdmitted tо the hospital with nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps that have become severe. Mrs. Smith's daughter states that her mother was complaining of blurred vision and difficulty swallowing when they were having lunch. Upon assessment, the nurse observes drooping of the patientês eyelids and facial muscles on both sides of her face. Vital signs are stable with blood pressure at 126/84, pulse at 82, and temperature 98.3°F. However, her respirations are 10 (normal is 18-20). The physician on-call performs a neurological test that shows deficits on both sides of the body. The doctor orders blood work and asks the daughter what Mrs. Smith had eaten in the last few days. The daughter advises the doctor that Mrs. Smith cans her own vegetables and had eaten from one of the jars. Mrs. Smith begins to have weakness in her arms and legs. Paralysis starts developing in her upper extremities, and soon after she stops breathing. She is placed on a ventilator. Microscopic examination reveals Gram (+) rods. The blood work comes back positive for botulism toxin. A closely-related species to Clostridium botulinum is Clostridium difficile, which causes severe diarrhea. This organism is very problematic in healthcare facilities, particularly nursing homes. It is essential that healthcare workers constantly wash their hands to help minimize the risk of spreading the pathogen. The effectiveness of hand washing in the prevention of disease was largely proposed by _____.
CASE 3: The endоscоpy reveаled thаt Hаrоld had a peptic ulcer. Analysis of the ulcerated tissue showed that Harold had an infection of Helicobacter pylori. The doctor gave Harold prescriptions for two different antibiotics and a medication that would decrease the secretion of stomach acid. The doctor also instructed Harold to schedule an appointment for another endoscopy procedure in 6 months. Ironically, H. pylori is not an acidophile, but rather a neutrophile. This is due to the bacteria's ability to produce urease, an enzyme that catalyzes the following reaction: Urea→{"version":"1.1","math":"→"} CO2 + NH3. Based upon this information, which of the following statements is INCORRECT?
