Scenаriо fоr questiоns 10 through 24: During the Pаris Olympics mаny people were worried about events held in the Seine River (like marathon swimming and the triathlon) and potential health hazards for athletes. In fact, at the beginning of the Olympics a practice swim session was canceled in the river due to high levels of Escherichia coli. Imagine you are a MD/PhD in France during the Olympics and an athlete arrives in your clinic ill after competing in the Seine River. You isolate the potential pathogen from the athlete and run some tests on the microbe. During your research you note that the potential pathogen uses glucose as a carbon and energy source. The rest of your results are in Figure 1 below. Figure 1: Characteristics of the patient isolated microbe, including: (A) a microscopic image of the isolate, (B) results from a thioglycollate broth experiment - the negative control is an uninoculated tube of thioglycollate broth, (C) culture growth rate at varying temperatures, (D) culture growth rate at varying pH.
