Question 112
A zone of inhibition is the area around an antibiotic-infused paper disk that does not show any bacterial growth. The antibiotic impregnated on the disk will diffuse into the agar in the area surrounding the disk. If the bacteria are sensitive to the antibiotic, they cannot grow near the disk. The size of the zone is proportional to how sensitive the organism is. If the organism is resistant to the antibiotic, it will grow very closely to the disk.
The size of the zone of suppressed growth on a sensitivity plate using sensitivity disks is referred to as the zone of:
Question 113
In primary responses, the major class of antibody produced is IgM whereas in the secondary response, as mentioned in this question, it is IgG. IgG is present in the highest quantities compared to all other antibody classes and is the only antibody able to cross the placental barrier.
Which of the following antibody types is chiefly seen in the secondary immune response:
Question 114
Hemoglobin F has a high affinity for oxygen. When Hb F is elevated, cells containing Hb S are more oxygenated and do not sickle as readily as they would if Hb F were not present or present in small quantities.
Which hemoglobin, when elevated, acts as a protection against sickling in patients with HbS?
Question 115
Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be put on in the following order:
