Question

What will be the state of the mouse that has been injected with the heat killed S-strain from the Staphylococcus pneumoniae?

• A. Alive
• B. Dead
• C. On the verge of dying
• D. Lives with pneumonia

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Alive

The mouse fed with the S-strain from the Staphylococcus pneumoniae, happens to naturally die. This is on an account that the S-strains are virulent. Under such conditions, the mouse will not be able to survive. But, when the heat killed S-strains from Staphylococcus pneumoniae are injected into the mouse, it will live.
