True or false if something is filter sterilized this means no infectious particles are present.  

A antibiotic has been created that is able to target and disrupt bacterial cell surface proteins, fimbriae and pili formation as well as most slime layer or capsule production. Where during the 1-5 steps of a microbe causing disease would this most likely effect? 

A novel antibiotic targets the chromosome segregation proteins ParA/ParB system in Brucella Abortus. Would you expect this to be cidal or static and explain what this would impact with the bacteria. 

Compare a true pathogen against an opportunistic pathogen 

Choose 1 topic and explain how the gut biome helps us or describe when the gut biome is disrupted the effects this can cause. (This can be very short and should be) 

You have a small rural town of 500 people 50 people have died from a unknown disease, it’s unclear how many have been or are currently infected. What is the mortality rate 

When heated, zinc and sulfur combine to form a new compound, zinc sulfide.  In this reaction, Both Zn and S are oxidized. Both Zn and S are reduced. S is oxidized and Zn is reduced. Zn is oxidized and S is reduced.

Given the accompanying partial activity series, predict which of the following reactions will occur as written. Zn –> Zn2+ + 2e– Fe –> Fe2+ + 2e– Co –> Co2+ + 2e– Ni –> Ni2+ + 2e– Cu –> Cu2+ + 2e–

Which of the following is TRUE? Hydrogen atom to hydrogen ion (H+) is reduction. Oxygen atom to oxide ion (O2–) is reduction. Tin atom to tin(IV) ion is reduction. Fluoride ion (F–) to fluorine atom is reduction.

In the context of chemical reactions, oxidation means ___. the gain of electrons the loss of electrons the loss of oxygen the loss of water
