Name the three methods of how a bacterium deals with the immune system. (one word is fine) Explain 1 of these methods in more detail. (A short sentence is fine) 

Many posts on facebook worry about COVID becoming antibiotic resistant. Would a Kirby-Bauer method work well for detecting this? 

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–
