1. Explain why is each of these is often resistant to disinfectants.
Mycobacterium
Pseudomonas
Bacillus
Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia lamblia were isolated from the stool sample of a 45- year- old man, and Shigella sonnei was isolated from the stool sample of an 18- year- old woman. Both patients experienced diarrhea and severe abdominal cramps, and prior to onset of digestive symptoms both had been treated by the same chiropractor. The chiropractor had administered colonic irrigations (enemas) to these patients. The device used for this treatment was a gravity- dependent apparatus using 12 liters of tap water. There were no check valves to prevent backflow, so all parts of the apparatus could have become contaminated with feces during each colonic treatment. The chiropractor provided colonic treatment to four or five patients per day. Between patients, the adaptor piece that is inserted into the rectum was placed in a “hot- water sterilizer.” What two errors were made by the chiropractor?
Between March 9 and April 12, five chronic peritoneal dialysis patients at one hospital became infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Four patients developed peritonitis (inflammation of the abdominal cavity), and one developed a skin infection at the catheter insertion site. All patients with peritonitis had low- grade fever, cloudy peritoneal fluid, and abdominal pain. All patients had permanent indwelling peritoneal catheters, which the nurse wiped with gauze that had been soaked with an iodophor solution each time the catheter was connected to or disconnected from the machine tubing. Aliquots of the iodophor were transferred from stock bottles to small in- use bottles. Cultures from the dialysate concentrate and the internal areas of the dialysis machines were negative; iodophor from a small in- use plastic container yielded a pure culture of P….

UNIT 3 BIOLOGY LAB DB

The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion.

The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion.
At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Wednesday of each week. Two additional responses are required after Wednesday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation.
The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each week.
You are to write 1 paragraph answering the following question:
What are the 6 kingdoms used to classify all living organisms? List all six kingdoms and what organisms are in each.
Define taxonomic key.
Are viruses living organisms? If they are,what kingdom do they belong to?
Your paragraph needs to follow proper APA format and the AIU Discussion Board policy.

BIOH12008 ASSESSMENT ITEM 1 T2 2012 ESSAY TOPIC Recent unpublished research has suggested a possible reason why 1% of the human population report chronic low intensity abdominal discomfort (especially 1-2 hours after a large meal), often show slight anaemia, occasional elevated white blood cell counts and even slight vitamin deficiency, despite an apparently healthy diet. Clinical examination, including examination of the villi in the small intestine, has been inconclusive. It has often been reported that people with this condition appear to have a high density of villi per square millimetre, so there is no sign of sprue. More recently, however, the clinical physiologist Dr Esme Higgenbotham has reported clear differences in the villi of people with this condition, compared to healthy individuals. Affected individuals have 1.5 times the number of villi per square millimetre and when examined these villi appear elongated and extremely crowded together. Higgenbotham wrote ‘This difference in structure may be sufficient to explain these low-level symptoms. I have provisionally called the condition ‘Crowded Villi Syndrome or CVS.’ Normal jejunum Crowded Villi Syndrome jejunum (a) From your knowledge of normal and abnormal physiology, please argue why Crowded Villi Syndrome might cause the symptoms of low intensity abdominal discomfort (especially after large meals), slight anaemia, occasional elevated white blood cell counts and even slight vitamin deficiency. (b) Please speculate on the long term implications of this condition on the health of affected individuals. Suggested essay length – 2000 words.
