Question

The volleyball player was prescribed a 10-day course of methicilin to treat her infection. By day 7.her wound appeared to have healed and was no longer inflamed and warm to the touch, so she stopped taking the methicillin thinking that the infection had been eradicated While most of the bacteria had been killed, there were some still lingering in the wound site. Once she stopped taking the the wound was once a ain inflamed, warm to the touch, and very painful. The population had once again reached 1.000 individuals, with 350 of them the SS type and 650 of them the FT type. There were no bacteria left that were fully susceptible to methicillin. Now what is the percentage of each bacterial type?

Explanation / Answer

Answer

As the total individual in the population is 1000 out of which 350 are SS type and 650 are FT type

Hence percentage of SS type = (350/1000)*100

= 35%

Similarly

The percentage of FT type =(650/1000)*100

=65%
