Explain the mode of action of this class of antibiotics, regarding their specific molecular targets, and how they result in the death of the bacterium. (
Instructions:The assignment consists of 3 case studies involving the use of antibiotics.Questions are to be answered in detail and presented as a typed document.The questions should be answered using lecture material as well as additional sources such as recommended texts and other supplementary material. All referenced material should be cited in the text and included in a bibliography.Case study 1Barry presents with constant pain in the upper right quadrant, fever, and nausea. Upon further investigation, Barry is diagnosed with acute cholecystitis. Blood culture reports indicate evidence of sepsis, which is likely due to the enteric bacteria Escherichia coli. Barry is prescribed intravenous amoxicillin, 1 g every 6 hours.Explain the mode of action of this class of antibiotics, regarding their specific molecular targets, and how they result in the death of the bacterium. (2 marks) Initially, the treatment appears to be effective. However, after several days, the symptoms return. The prescribed antibiotic now appears to be less effective.How can bacteria produce resistance to this class of antibiotics? Why does cross- resistance occur? It is suggested that additional treatments be used to improve the effectiveness of amoxicillin.What can be used to enhance the effectiveness of this class of antibiotics in resistant bacteria?Why is it generally considered more difficult to treat infections caused by gram-negative bacteria?Case study 2Larry has been experiencing fever, pleuritic chest pain, and a new-onset cough. Chest X- ray indicates community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Patient mortality and hospital length of stay are significantly reduced if treatment is commenced within 8 hours, and so Larry is immediately administered intravenous penicillin, 1 g every 8 hours for 7 days.However, within 1 hour of initial administration, Larry develops urticaria and bronchospasm, and finally anaphylaxis.How is anaphylaxis normally treated to restore airway function in this patient?What are the allergenic determinants behind this hypersensitivity reaction?Will the patient likely experience a similar reaction to carbenicillin and cefuroxime?Due to the immediate hypersensitivity reaction, Larrys penicillin treatment has been replaced with oral moxifloxacin, 400 mg daily for 7 days.What is the mechanism of action for this class of antibiotics?Microbiological investigation of Larrys sputum reveals that the infection is due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae. As such another antibiotic, oral doxycycline (200 mg then 100 mg daily for 5 days), has been added to the treatment.What is the mechanism of action for this class of antibiotics?What adverse effects may be seen with the use of tetracyclines, and when should they not be used? What is the mechanism behind these effects?Case study 3Sally complains of frequent urination accompanied by a burning sensation. Upon examination, Sallys urine sample appears cloudy. Urinalysis confirms the diagnosis of a urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by Staphylococcus saprophyticus. Sally is subsequently administered intramuscular gentamicin, 3 mg/kg/day for 7 days, with blood concentrations of the antibiotic being monitored regularly. High fluid intake and complete bladder emptying have been recommended to Sally to assist with antimicrobial therapy for UTIs. The overall treatment has appeared effective in treating the infection.1. Describe the mechanism of action for the antibiotic gentamicin. Why must the blood concentrations of gentamicin be monitored regarding potential toxicities?This was the third UTI that Sally contracted within the last 12 months. As such, it is suggested that Sally begin antimicrobial prophylaxis to prevent future infection. Sally has been prescribed oral trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole (cotrimoxazole, 160 mg, and 800 mg respectively), to be taken at night for the next 6 months.Describe the mechanism of action for the two antibiotics, trimethoprim, and sulfamethoxazole.Why are these two drugs more effective when used in combination?Describe how bacterial resistance can develop to these two drugs.
ARGUMENTATIVE papers about a topic inspired by Pollans chapters weve read. You shouldnt try to recreate his argument; instead, you are writing about an idea he mentions or a topic related to his work
This semester, you will write three related, ARGUMENTATIVE papers about a topic inspired by Pollans chapters weve read. You shouldnt try to recreate his argument; instead, you are writing about an idea he mentions or a topic related to his work. Begin brainstorming such an idea.Your topic should span two shorter papers and a final which combines your first two essays.Generally, students will find themselves in one of two groups. 1) You may choose to write two shorter essays on different, but related, ideas. For the final, you will revise your thesis so it is comprehensive and combines both. 2) Another option is to write both essays with the same essential argument. In that case, you would combine everything into your final.In either case, you will write three independent, stand-alone essays with their own introductions, bodies, and conclusions. (No, you neednt strictly follow a five paragraph essay format drilled into your mind during high school.) Along the way, you will revise your work and make it stronger in order to avoid copying for the final. While you are allowed to use the same material, youll find you need revision to make everything work.You MUST include Pollan in each paper. (You are also encouraged to read chapters not assigned for class readings.) The rest of your sources should be a well-diversified group of materials. That includes journals, full-length researched books, reference materials, quality Web sites, etc.PAPERS MUST BE NEW, ORIGINAL WORK. If you have a paper youve used in the past even one that is closely related you need to pick a new topic! All students should be starting at the same point (and, yes, it is technically possible to plagiarize yourself when using older work). You have already written the first essay and now this week we are writing the second paper out of 3 and I have added an sample paper from the professor for a little help. There are paper checklist that you have to follow which is also been added. There are some lists of topics you have to avoid. I have also added the first essay and the sample one as well for you to look. 137793-137793-influencers-of-food-choices-final-docx.docx is the one you wrote earlier for the first paper.Topics to AvoidDo not write about the following topics:Fast foodObesityAnimal testingDiet and exerciseAnimals in captivityEnergy drinksSmoking or vapingAgricultural diversity (as argued in our sample paper)The following topics are, in general, too vague. If you have more specific environmental concerns, we can discuss more focused papers about environmental issues:Climate changeGenetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)*Your paper must be directly connected to Pollan. If your connection is not obvious, missing, or weak, I will not accept your paper.

Analyse Ginsbergs representations of America in two poems such as Howl; and America or Sunflower Sutra.
E??????????????????????ssay: (4 references altogether scholarly academic article if used briefly, the focus should be on the question).QUESTION BELOW: GINSBERG AND AMERICAAnalyse Ginsbergs representations of America in two poems such as Howl; and America or Sunflower Sutra. You might want to consider how the speaker portrays America and how Americans relate to their country. In your response you must engage with relevant ideas from the Bennett and Royle chapter on Ideology.Instructions on Constructing a Thesis for your Essay:Your Thesis/Argument should be a disputable claim. This means that other people can potentially disagree with it. If no one can disagree with your argument, then it is not a real argument. You must use additional textual examples to support your claims. Organise the analysis around a ce??????????????????????ntral argument or thesis and provide textual evidence to support its claims.An academic thesis or argument is not quite the same as an argument that you might have with a friend. An academic argument does not need to involve an angry, heated exchange between two people. However, an argument in the everyday sense of the term shares with an academic argument the common characteristic of being disputable and debatable.No Plagiarism Allowed!!Additional research, beyond the relevant chapter from the text (Bennett and Royle), is recommended. Research enhances your understanding of the texts and topic. The important thing is that the research you engage with is relevant to your essay and from a reputable source (e.g. peer reviewed material that you access). Employ an appropriate writing style with minimal spelling, gr??????????????????????ammatical, or other errors.

Provide a critical summary of BOTH readings. How was it beneficial to the study of criminology/corrections?
Provide a critical summary of BOTH readings (discuss them separately). What did you learn? What did you find interesting? Did the author(s) introduce any new or specialized terminology? Is it clear the author is in favor or against a particular topic? How was it beneficial to the study of criminology/corrections? You can incorporate your answers into your writing. Each critical summary should be at least two pages, so at least four pages total for both readings. If it is a little longer, that is fine. Be sure to apply terms/concept(s) from the readings, and/or the slide presentations. The assignment is called Critical Analysis APPLICATION Paper; therefore, you should apply and connect terms/concepts from the course.Use at least two direct quotes with citations (ASA style) from an academic source (such the articles, text, module slides, or me) per response to support your points. In your discussion, you may relate the articles to your personal lives, current events, and/or class material. Write one summary, then the next, and then include your ONE reference page. It is all one paper, but the discussions are separate.Add a citation page
