[@lalitapentamkun3007]

Thanks a lot, this helps me immensively.

[@lanap4924]

Thank you for a great lecture! I have a question that I am not able to find an answer to. Are Gram negative enteric bacilli fastidious heterotrophs? I went through 5 textbooks at least, and I still can't make up my mind. They don't seem to be fastidious. However, I'm not sure about them being heterotrophs. If they live inside of humans and animals, I would assume they are heterotrophs. What about the cases, when they are outside of the bodies?

[@super-hero8279]

Cant thank you enough !!

Hi Dr.Jim! I have a question. Are Pseudomonas distinct like when you find it on faucets and when you scrape them are they like jelly and they have this noticeably sweet odor?

[@edwardkerschen5494]

Yes, Pseudomonas are very distinct from other types of bacteria in appearance. Most infectious disease doctors and nurses can spot someone with a pseudomonas infection right away by the bluegreen appearance and the sweet smell that it gives off. Probably the nicest smelling bacteria out there but not one that you want to have as infection because it is tough to treat. Very resistant to drugs due to pumps and the alginate that it produces that makes it look slimy. Plus they can grow almost anywhere so if you have a green faucet that can be scraped off, it is probably do to psuedomonas. Thanks for the question.

[@neolunamusic]

Edward Kerschen thanks a lot Dr. Jim! your videos are very helpful :)

[@user-wm6ru9ek7p]

Please did u have the answers that present in the end of chapter I'll be thankful

[@cloiddokich8696]

Hello Dr. I just came from urgent care from a burn wound on my from 2010. Where after removing the black necrotic tissues to my ribs and a couple of skin grafts. I still have an exposed rib. Where I went in with a dark seepage which smelled a little putrid? My temperature was over 101 and I wonder ifbacteria this could a gram negative bacilli bacteria. As I was informed if the infection gets past my ribs to the plural cavity my lung may collapse?

[@edwardkerschen5494]

This sounds pretty serious. Not sure what type of bacteria it might be without proper identification like a gram stain or rapid ID test. It maybe staphylococcus aureus or even strep based on the necrotic tissue that you reported. I definitely would seek out an infectious disease doctor who will properly identify the bacterial infection and recommend or prescribe the proper treatment for this infection. Good luck and I hope for the best.

[@cloiddokich8696]

Thank you

[@cloiddokich8696]

Thank you but my doctor's now feel since it reached my ribs and I wouldn't survive surgery to remove them and pull the flap of tissue over it. I now just keep it bandaged and clean over the exposed rib and keep it clean? I was hoping some friends at HHMI would or some university studying psychology and genetics might like to take a try at it but everything is weird now with healthcare ? If it gets past my ribs and the plural cavity my lung will collapse and they can do emergency surgery?

[@rainonheadfarah7611]
