Why might it be easier to determine the bacterium that caused pneumonia than one that caused a wound infection?

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

  1. There are very few microorganisms that can cause pneumonia, while there are many that can cause wound infections.

  2. Bacteria that cause pneumonia can be identified with few tests. Many bacteria are normally found on the skin and may be in the wound complicationg indentification of the pathogen.

  3. We have much better tests for bacteria in the lungs than we do in wounds.

  4. The techniques of 16S rRNA sequencing are easier to perform on a sample taken from the lungs than a sample taken from a wound.

In a hospital laboratory, a 10.0 mL sample of gastric juice, obtained several hours after a meal, was titrated with 0.1 M NaOH to neutrality; 7.2 mL of NaOH was required. The patient’s stomach contained no ingested food or drink, thus assume that no buffers were present. What was the pH of the gastric juice?
