Imagine this . . .

A fly lands on your hamburger or piece of cake. They can eat only by spitting onto the food to dissolve it. Then they suck up the juices. While there, the fly defecates onto the food. And its feet drop minute pieces of whatever it was sitting on before. I forgot to mention that it just flew in from visits to a dog turd and a rotting road kill.

Anything that fly does while on the food could drop enough of a load of pathogenic bacteria to make you sick.

What did Griffth observe when he injected a mixture of heat killed disease causing bacteria and live harmless bacteria into mice?

This experiment laid the foundation for the discovery of bacterial transformation by Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty.


What result from Griffiths experiment suggested that the cause of pneumonia wasnt a chemical poison?
