Return of the Whoop the Resurgence of Pertussis
I’m studying for my Biology class and need an explanation.
responses 1.Part II
What is a Gran-negative organism? How does the structure of a Gram-negative organism contribute to its virulence?
Gran-negative bacteria cause infections and are resistant to multiple drugs and most antibiotics. These bacteria have built-in abilities to find new ways to become resistance an can pass along their genetic material. The outer membrane of Gram-negative organisms contains lipopolysaccharide (LPS), proteins, and phospholipids and contribute to its virulence. LPS is toxic and is classified as an endotoxin that elicits a strong immune response when infecting organisms.
What is an antibiotic? Which class of antibiotics works best for Bordetella pertussis?
Antibiotics are any substance that inhibits the growth and replication of a bacterium or kills it. For Bordetella pertussis, the class of antibiotics that works best are Azithromycin, Erythromycin, and Clarithromycin.
Part III
What is a vaccine?
A vaccine contains the same germs that cause a disease that have been killed or weakened in order to stimulate an individual’s immune system to produce antibodies.
Compare the difference between a cellular and acellular vaccine.
Cellular vaccines are made from inactivated Bordetella Pertussis bacteria while acellular vaccines are created with inactivated pertussis toxin and one or more bacterial components……response 2:
- Why is it difficult to grow Bordetella pertussis in a laboratory?-Bordetella pertussis is a gram-negative bacterium and is the causative agent of pertussis or whooping cough. Pertussis is respiratory disease that can be transferred from an infected person to others. As mentioned in the passage, the bacteria grows at 35-37 degrees which makes it very difficult because of the specific temperature required to grow. It is imperative that the media in the laboratory is made up of potato fusion, peptic digest from animal tissue and sheep blood also including many more. All these factors make it very difficult to grow the bacteria in a laboratory.
- Discuss and evaluate the methods used to identify Bordetella pertussis.-There are several methods used to identify the bacteria. In many cases it appears smooth, raised and glistening with a zone of hemolysis. This is done through biochemical tests and direct fluorescent including serologic tests as well.
PART III1. What is a vaccine?-A vaccine is a substance described to help build up antibodies against the bacteria which minimizes the spread or growth of the bacteria. In this case, it is created by growing the bacteria to build the foundation of the vaccine. It Is explained in the article how the vaccine can have numerous side effects in the process such a high fevers, however an acellular vaccine has much less concentrated form than that found in whole-cell vaccines which reduced the side effects.
- Compare the differences between a cellular and an acellular vaccine.-Cellular and acellular vaccine are both capable of generating high levels of antibodies against bacteria presented. There are multiple differences and the first being that acellular was created as an alternative to the whole-cell vaccine, including that it is also safer than the cellular. Although acellular has a positive in the reduction of side effects, it was made an alternative because the protection that it has against the bacteria does not last as long as it should.

Elements of the required response may also be lacking. |
40 points out of 50: The essay illustrates solid understanding of the relevant material by correctly addressing most of the relevant content; identifying and explaining most of the key concepts/ideas; using correct terminology; explaining the reasoning behind most of the key points/claims; and/or where necessary or useful, substantiating some points with accurate examples. The answer is complete. |
50 points: The essay illustrates exemplary understanding of the relevant material by thoroughly and correctly addressing the relevant content; identifying and explaining all of the key concepts/ideas; using correct terminology explaining the reasoning behind key points/claims and substantiating, as necessary/useful, points with several accurate and illuminating examples. No aspects of the required answer are missing. |
Use of Sources (worth a maximum of 20% of the total points). |
Zero points: Student failed to include citations and/or references. Or the student failed to submit a final paper. |
5 out 20 points: Sources are seldom cited to support statements and/or format of citations are not recognizable as APA 6th Edition format. There are major errors in the formation of the references and citations. And/or there is a major reliance on highly questionable. The Student fails to provide an adequate synthesis of research collected for the paper. |
10 out 20 points: References to scholarly sources are occasionally given; many statements seem unsubstantiated. Frequent errors in APA 6th Edition format, leaving the reader confused about the source of the information. There are significant errors of the formation in the references and citations. And/or there is a significant use of highly questionable sources. |
15 out 20 points: Credible Scholarly sources are used effectively support claims and are, for the most part, clear and fairly represented. APA 6th Edition is used with only a few minor errors. There are minor errors in reference and/or citations. And/or there is some use of questionable sources. |
20 points: Credible scholarly sources are used to give compelling evidence to support claims and are clearly and fairly represented. APA 6th Edition format is used accurately and consistently. The student uses above the maximum required references in the development of the assignment. |
Grammar (worth maximum of 20% of total points) |
Zero points: Student failed to submit the final paper. |
5 points out of 20: The paper does not communicate ideas/points clearly due to inappropriate use of terminology and vague language; thoughts and sentences are disjointed or incomprehensible; organization lacking; and/or numerous grammatical, spelling/punctuation errors |
10 points out 20: The paper is often unclear and difficult to follow due to some inappropriate terminology and/or vague language; ideas may be fragmented, wandering and/or repetitive; poor organization; and/or some grammatical, spelling, punctuation errors |
15 points out of 20: The paper is mostly clear as a result of appropriate use of terminology and minimal vagueness; no tangents and no repetition; fairly good organization; almost perfect grammar, spelling, punctuation, and word usage. |
20 points: The paper is clear, concise, and a pleasure to read as a result of appropriate and precise use of terminology; total coherence of thoughts and presentation and logical organization; and the essay is error free. |
Structure of the Paper (worth 10% of total points) |
Zero points: Student failed to submit the final paper. |
3 points out of 10: Student needs to develop better formatting skills. The paper omits significant structural elements required for and APA 6th edition paper. Formatting of the paper has major flaws. The paper does not conform to APA 6th edition requirements whatsoever. |
5 points out of 10: Appearance of final paper demonstrates the student’s limited ability to format the paper. There are significant errors in formatting and/or the total omission of major components of an APA 6th edition paper. They can include the omission of the cover page, abstract, and page numbers.
