What is unique about transduction compared to normal bateriophage infection?
Transduction involves the transfer of bacterial DNA from one bacterium to another using a bacteriophage as a vector, whereas normal bacteriophage infection results in the lysis of the host bacterium after replication. Transduction is a form of horizontal gene transfer that can transfer genetic material such as antibiotic resistance genes between bacteria, while normal bacteriophage infection primarily involves viral replication and host cell lysis.
Can bacteria in the body change its form into a different bacteria?
There are many kinds of bacteria. Some bacteria is good for your body, and if you get rid of too much bacteria you can get a infection. [For example when you don't have enough bacteria in your vagina that's when you get a infection down there]. But you also can have problems if you have too much bacteria or a bad bacteria, it all depends on the type of bacteria.
What is it called when a bacteria uses a virus to transfer its DNA to another bacterium?
conjugation
What allows the bacteria to join together to transfer genes?
Bacteria can join to transfer genes through a process called conjugation. Conjugation involves the formation of a physical bridge, called a pilus, between two bacteria. This bridge allows the transfer of genetic material, such as plasmids, from one bacterium to another.
During conjugation which what structures does a bacteria form that is used to transfer DNA?
conjugation occurs between two bacterial cells and transfers DNA in the form of plasmids. this is one way to transfer of genetic material - it is not sexual reproduction, The other two ways to transfer genetic material between bacteria are transformation and transduction. In order to be able to perform coagulation (transfer of a plasmid) the bacteria must have an F factor (DNA that codes for the PILI protein, which allows the bacteria to create a bridge through which the bacteria inject the plasmid to another bacteria). Bacteria with F factor is called F+, and without it is called F-. F+ can transfer the plasmid to an F- bacteria.
Which best describes transduction in bacteria?
Bacteria transfer DNA with a bacteriophage.
What is aseptic transfer?
Transferring bacteria from one place to another and keeping the transfer pure.

What is food infection?
A food infection is an illness that a human or animal can get from eating a food that is contaminated with the virus or bacteria. Another name for this is food poisoning.
What is when bacteria temporary join and transfer genetic information to one another?
This is called conjugation.

How does the the cycle of infection help you maintain an aseptic environment?
Knowing about how infection is transferred from one organism to another is vital in asepsis considering it tells you how to prevent the transfer of microorganisms that cause the infection.
What factors contribute to the resistency of bacteria against antibiotics?
Several factors contribute to the resistance of bacteria against antibiotics, including overuse and misuse of antibiotics, genetic mutations in bacteria that make them less susceptible to antibiotics, and the ability of bacteria to transfer resistance genes to one another. Other factors include poor infection control practices, lack of new antibiotic development, and the use of antibiotics in agriculture.
What type of genetic recombination in bacteria involves DNA transfer by viruses?
Transduction is the type of genetic recombination in bacteria that involves DNA transfer by viruses. In this process, bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) transfer bacterial DNA from one bacterium to another.
Can you have throat MRSA?
The throat is a location in the body that MRSA bacteria lives (another location is the nose and groin areas). Although having the bacteria in these locations, doesn't necessarily mean a MRSA infection. MRSA infection can spread into the throat and cause serious conditions.
