1

Reverse transcriptase has poor proofreading activity. What is a consequence of this?

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • Mutations do not occur as often

  • The viral genome is more likely to integrate permanently into the host genome

  • Mutations arise quickly and could cause antiviral resistance

  • The host cell genomic machinery is hijacked and loses proofreading ability

A patient has unprotected sex with someone who is HIV-positive and soon tests positive for HIV. You prescribe AZT and Nelfinavir in combination therapy.

The viral load continues to increase rather than decrease. Based merely on this information, what do you think has occurred?

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • The HIV has mutated to be resistant to AZT and Nelfinavir in your patient

  • Drug-resistant HIV was transmitted to your patient

Explicación

A patient has unprotected sex with someone who is HIV-positive and soon tests positive for HIV. You prescribe AZT and Nelfinavir in combination therapy.

Your clinical microbiologist tests your patient’s HIV strain and find that it is currently not resistant to the drugs you have prescribed. Rather, your patient was not taking every dose of the antiviral cocktail. What should you, the doctor, do?

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • Tell the patient to begin taking the original drugs as prescribed

  • Change the prescription in case some viruses have gained mutations that make them resistant to the current drugs

  • Order another drug resistance test in a few weeks

  • Both a and c

  • Both b and c

Doxycycline is an Tetracycline antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, such as those causing acne, urinary tract infections, eye infections, and gum disease. However, it is imperative that children and pregnant or nursing mothers do not take this drug, as it can cause permanent yellowing/greying of teeth in babies and children.

The tooth discoloration is due to the fact that Tetracyclines can chelate (bind and sequester) the calcium ions needed for normal adult tooth development. Other than calcium, what do Tetracyclines bind to?

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • 50S ribosomal subunit

  • 30S ribosomal subunit

  • Dihydropteroate synthase

  • DNA helicase

  • RNA polymerase

A scientist discovers that a soil bacterium she has been studying produces an antimicrobial that kills gram-negative bacteria. She isolates and purifies the antimicrobial compound, then chemically converts a chemical side chain to a hydroxyl group. When she tests the antimicrobial properties of this new version, she finds that this antimicrobial drug can now also kill gram-positive bacteria. The new antimicrobial drug with broad-spectrum activity is considered to be .
