The Role of E Coli in Human Health & Biotechnology

/in /by

Research: You must thoroughly investigate your topic, you can useresearch books from the library and information available on the internet (choose reputable websites). You must use at least five resources, none of which can be a textbook,Wikipedia,Encarta (or similar computer encyclopedia) or an encyclopedia. You are expected to thoroughly research your topic and include information that is recent/ current. You will be evaluated on how deep you investigate your topic.

My Chosen topic Is E.coli and I have created an outline before with the title of E.coli and Human health.

Antibiotic Resistance Develops in a Diabetic Patient

Antibiotic Resistance Develops in a Diabetic Patient Case Study

Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) was isolated from the exit site of a dialysis catheter in a 40-year-old diabetic with a history of peripheral vascular disease, chronic renal failure, and chronic foot ulcers. A few months earlier, the patient’s gangrenous toe had been amputated. Following that surgery, the patient developed bacteremia with methicillin-resistant S. aureus from an infected hemodialysis graft. Vancomycin, rifampin, and graft removal successfully treated the infection.

A few months later, when the catheter exit site infection appeared, the area was cultured and the catheter removed, successfully treating the infection. A week later, the patient’s chronic foot ulcer again appeared infected. Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis (VRE) and Klebsiella oxytoca were cultured from the ulcer. The patient recovered after wound care and systemic treatment with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole.

Analysis of the VRSA isolate revealed that it contained the van A gene for vancomycin resistance and the mec A gene for oxacillin resistance.

–How do you think the Staphylococcus aureus strain ended up with the gene for vancomycin resistance?

–What is one possible mechanism for genetic transfer of antibiotic resistance from one organism to another?

  • Why would this particular patient be at increased risk for infection with VRSA?

Choose two (2) of the eight topics to write an essay that you feels best answers the topic from what you have learned in class and read in the book. This isn’t an English class so remember to use correct APA or MLA formatting for citations and references as well as correct grammar and punctuation.Essays will be graded for originality also. If you copy and paste without citing sources, or you copy paste and cite most of the information, the instructor reserves the right to issue a zero for the essay or the entire test. Please share your thoughts, and give credit to sources.

1. Why do we have such darn big brains? Discuss the evolutionary advantages and disadvantages of our egg-headedness with reference to specific structures of the brain and their functions as understood at this time by neuroscientists.

2. Glial cells are the “unsung heroes” of the nervous system. Discuss the general functions of this nerve cell, and identify the major types along with the role each plays in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Identify one disease process that affects glia detrimentally and describe the consequences of the disease along with treatment (if it exists.)

3. Choose one legal or illegal drug of abuse and use its effects to discuss either:

– the process of communication between neurons, with special attention to synaptic transmission

OR

– the anatomy and functioning of the central nervous system, with special attention to the interaction between the “reward system” and the higher cortical levels of the brain.

4. Describe a study in neuroscience that utilized deliberate damage to the brain OR a case study in neuroscience based upon the consequences of accidental damage to the brain of a human being. What were the results of the damage? What was learned about the nervous system from this study or case? After reviewing less invasive methods available to scientists, propose a different, non-injurious way to study the same processes – unless you think it is not possible to do so, in which case please explain why.

5. 40% of your brain is devoted to the sensing and perception of visual stimuli. Describe the structures in the nervous system that make visual processing possible. Discuss the significance of the Nobel Prize-winning of research of Hubel and Wiesel. Describe one type of case of central nervous system damage that affected visual processing and what has been learned about vision from that case.
