Next he injected the non-virulent pneumonia into a mouse and the result was the mouse surviving. After these tests‚ to kill the virulent disease; he heated it up and then injected it into a new mouse. This trial was a success‚ as predicted.

bacteriologist whose focus was the epidemiology and pathology of bacterial Pneumonia. In January‚ 1928 he reported what is now known as Griffiths Experiment‚ the first widely accepted demonstration of bacterial transformation‚ where a bacterium distinctly changes its form and function. Griffith succumbed to his death around the year 1941 due to the air raid. His Purpose and what he derived? Griffith showed that Streptococcus pneumonia‚ could transform from one strain into a different strain. The observation

Diagnostic imaging allows doctors to find tumors‚ broken bones‚ pneumonia‚ etc. In general‚ diagnostic imaging is very helpful. X-Rays: This was one of the first types of diagnostic imaging. It uses radiation called Electromagnetic Waves. These images appear in black and white. The calcium found in the bones absorb

Griffith’s experiments Frederick Griffith‚ a bacteriologist‚ was trying to prepare a vaccine against the pneumonia-causing bacterium‚ S. pneumoniae. A vaccine is a substance that is prepared from killed or weakened microorganisms and is introduced into the body to protect the body against future infections by the microorganisms. Griffin worked with 2 types‚ or strains of S. Pneumonia. The first strain is enclosed in a capsule made of polysaccharides. The capsule protects the bacterium

How would Cari’s lung compliance (the effort required to expand the lungs) be altered as her alveoli fill with fluid due to pneumonia? a. The fluid makes it harder to expand the lungs because the fluid makes the alveoli sticky and unable to open/expand. F. How would fluid in Cari’s lungs affect her lung capacity? a. Her lung capacity would go down because the air space is already
