Week 5: Immunity and Probiotics For this discussion, I chose Activia yogurt. 1. What part of immunity or our immune system might probiotics exert an effect, if any? 2. Explain the proposed mechanism(s) of how probiotics work? 3. Does one have to buy a special brand of the products for it to work? 4. You only chose one of the topics, but what is the common denominator from all of them (it's a microbe)?

W6: Respiratory Distress I chose Topic 2 present an argument to support lack of vaccination as a cause for resurgence.  What is the mechanism(s) that Bordetella pertussis uses to invade epithelial cells in the lungs?  Why does this Gram-negative bacteria cause the characteristic cough that it does?  Why is infant mortality high?  What role does herd immunity play in the spread of an infectious disease like Whooping cough?

Week 7: Gamma Rays and Microbial Genetics For this discussion, I chose Topic 1 Pro Gamma Irradiation of Food.  Would you eat gamma-irradiated strawberries?  Gamma-irradiation does extend the shelf-life but after some time, mold does begin to grow. Where does the mold come from?  Was the mold already present on the strawberries and the growth slowed by the gamma irradiation?  If gamma irradiation becomes the standard for processing produce, over time will the constant radiation e...
