share your thoughts on three ways that society—not physicians or medical staff—can help to reduce the development of drug-resistant microbial strains.
Antibiotics have saved millions of lives since they were first observed by Pasteur and Koch and later named by Selman Waksman in 1942. Unfortunately, antibiotic-resistant microbial strains are becoming more prevalent and therefore making once easily treated infections more difficult to treat.
For your initial discussion post, share your thoughts on three ways that society—not physicians or medical staff—can help to reduce the development of drug-resistant microbial strains.
Describe the difference between vertical gene transfer and horizontal gene transfer
Use the information presented in the module folder along with your readings from the textbook to answer the following questions.
1. Compare the difference between a point mutation and a frameshift mutation:
- Describe the difference between vertical gene transfer and horizontal gene transfer:
- What is conjugation? How can it contribute to antibiotic resistance in microorganisms?
- What is a Healthcare-associated infection (HAI) or nosocomial infection? How is this different from an iatrogenic disease? How are these infections? Contracted? Give examples of each type
Explain the potential advantages and disadvantages of nanotechnology in healthcare and discuss whether you would or would not support further research.
Genetic engineering has become a part of our culture, and it is difficult to tell the difference between unmodified and genetically modified food sources, such as plants and animals. After reading this module’s material regarding vectors in biotechnology, consider the potential for nanotechnology and gene therapy.
For your initial discussion post, research nanotechnology and its potential use in biotechnology. Explain the potential advantages and disadvantages of nanotechnology in healthcare and discuss whether you would or would not support further research.
discuss three biblical examples or principles that are reflected in today’s legal system and how they are relevant in today’s culture.
For this week’s dialogue, please respond to prompt 1
Prompt 1
Using your text, the Bible, and outside research, discuss three biblical examples or principles that are reflected in today’s legal system and how they are relevant in today’s culture. You may also include examples of how our modern legal system does not mirror biblical situations or biblical principles.
Cite a minimum of two scholarly peer reviewed sources (beyond your textbook or the Bible) applying APA guidelines (250-450 word-count range).
Hints/Requirements: for your Biblical examples of legal principles, you must include Deuteronomy 5:6-21 (the ten commandments) and then any two other examples or principles you may select.
When it comes to today’s legal system, your answer should be limited (after all, this is the first week of the course, and it would be odd to suppose that you already know today’s legal system). Try your best to limit your discussion to only such elements of our legal system as are included in this week’s readings or to elements of law or “today’s culture” that are matters of common knowledge (be cautious not to introduce matters that are both beyond the scope of this week’s readings and are also somewhat speculative or not generally known).
Post replies to two of your peer’s initial posts. Your two peer replies should include either:
- additional research-based discussion that expands upon one of the key points noted in your peer’s initial post (if your peer’s initial post was in response to prompt 1) or
- additional thoughts based upon only the text or the Bible (if your peer’s initial post was in response to prompt 2).
Each of your two peer replies should be composed in a professional manner with a word count range of 150-350 words. Your initial post and your two peer replies stand as an integrated assignment in respect of timeliness and thus will only receive a full grade for timeliness if both assignments are completed on time. The timeliness of your own initial post and your two peer reply posts will allow your classmates sufficient time to consider, prepare, and post a substantive reply or follow up.
