Very Often Clinically Relevant Information May Be Obtained by Examining

Question

Very often clinically relevant information may be obtained by examining
A) a wet mount.
B) the size and shape of the organism.
C) the sequence of proteins.
D) the transformation ability.
E) a wet mount AND the size and shape of the organism.

Accepted Answer

A wet mount allows for the observation of the organism's motility and presence of any cellular structures. The size and shape of the organism can provide insight into its identity and possible pathogenicity. Therefore, both options (A) and (B) are important in obtaining clinically relevant information. The other options, such as (C) sequence of proteins, and (D) transformation ability, are not necessarily relevant in most clinical settings.
