It sure is. Depending on the stage or severity of the disease. Prompt treatment is necessary because it is very resistant to antibiotics and if left untreated it can cause death. Sometimes multiple antibiotics are needed, they can be taken oral or intravenous.


Bacteria containing a plasmid into which the eukaryotic gene has integrated would grow where?

The bacteria containing the plasmid with the integrated eukaryotic gene would grow in a selective medium that supports the growth of bacteria carrying the plasmid. This medium would typically contain an antibiotic or a specific nutrient that selects for bacteria with the plasmid.


What are the functions or usefulness of ampiclox?

Ampiclox is a combination antibiotic that contains ampicillin and cloxacillin. It is commonly used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, urinary tract infections, and sexually transmitted infections. Its dual action against different types of bacteria makes it a versatile and effective treatment option.


How does pBR322 work as cloning vector?

pBR322 is a plasmid vector that contains an origin of replication for replication in E. coli, as well as antibiotic resistance genes for ampicillin and tetracycline. It also has unique restriction sites for easy insertion of foreign DNA. Once the foreign DNA is inserted into the vector, the plasmid can be transformed into E. coli cells where it replicates and expresses the inserted DNA.


Why is it necessary to autoclave transformed cells immediately after experiment?

It is necessary to autoclave transformed cells immediately after the experiment to prevent their unintentional release into the environment, where they could potentially reproduce and propagate. Autoclaving helps to ensure proper containment and disposal of genetically modified organisms, reducing the risk of unintended environmental impact.

How do ampicillin resistant E. coli combat the lethal effects of the ampicillin antibiotic?

The pGlo plasmid contains an ampicillin resistance gene. This gene encodes an enzyme, β lactimase, which enzymatically degrades ampicillin. Therefore, bacteria that take up the plasmid (transformants) become resistant to ampicillin.

How ampicillin synthesised?

Ampicillin is synthesized through a series of chemical reactions starting from a compound called 6-APA (6-aminopenicillanic acid).
