Dr.T.V.Rao MD. Dr.T.V.Rao MD. 1. Cholera affects Millions. CHOLERA AFFECTS millions, in endemic areas and causes thousands of deaths especially during seasonal epidemics. Robert Koch, the famous microbiologist of Germany, discovered Vibrio cholerae, the causative organism. Because of its characteristic shape he originally referred to it as comma bacilli. Nearly 7-8 epidemics caused by the pathogen `Vibrio cholerae affected different parts of the world.. C483 Spring 2013. 1. Which . of the following is true about . transcription regulation? . A) A repressor protein activates transcription of a negatively regulated gene. . B) A positively regulated gene can be transcribed only in the absence of active repressor. . By: Nadia Nagy. What is Cholera?. Cholera is . a diarrheal . infection caused by ingestion of food or water contaminated with the bacterium . Vibrio . cholerae. . Bhujel. 2013. 3-5 million cholera cases currently with ~120,000 deaths each year (WHO 2013). Prokaryotes and eukaryotes precisely regulate gene expression in response to environmental conditions. In multicellular eukaryotes, gene expression regulates development and is responsible for differences in cell types. Questions to Ponder…... How do your cells “know” what kind of cell they are?. How do your cells “know” when to make a particular protein? When to stop making it?. How does the environment affect your cells?. I). bÐ (line 3) shows no §-gal activity and by eliminationmust represent the lacZ gene.Mutations in the operator will be cis-dominant and will cause constitutiveexpression of the lacZ gene only if i DIAGNOSTIC LABORATORY TESTS. a) Specimens:- specimens from culture consist of mucus flecks from stool.. b) Smears:- Dark field or phase contrast microscopy may show the rapidly motile vibrios.. University of . Mustanisiriya. College of Medicine. Department of Microbiology . Third stage . The Vibrio . There are more than 35 species recognized for the genus vibrio, only 12 of them are responsible for human infection (gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal infections).. by . Dr. Susan A. Ibrahim . What is a gene. ?. A . gene is a sequence of nucleotides in DNA . that . codes for a molecule that has a function. During gene expression, the DNA is first copied into RNA. The RNA can be directly functional or be the intermediate template for a protein that performs a function. The transmission of genes to an organism's offspring is the basis of the inheritance of phenotypic trait. These genes make up different DNA sequences called genotypes. Genotypes along with environmental and developmental factors determine what the phenotypes will be. Most biological traits are under the influence of polygenes (many different genes) as well as gene–environment interactions. Some genetic traits are instantly visible, such as eye color or number of limbs, and some are not, such as blood type, risk for specific diseases, or the thousands of basic biochemical processes that constitute life.. : Facilitator : Dr.NAVEEN Professor & HEAD, Department of Community Medicine Professor & HEAD, Department of Community Medicine Govt.MedicalCollegeHospital,Chandigarh.
