ASCP-MLT Exam Dumps : MEDICAL LABORATORY TECHNICIAN - MLT(ASCP)

Which specimen should be collected last?

Question options:

CAMP is the correct answer because the case is typical of Streptococcus agalactiae(Group B strep). The main presumptive identification test is CAMP. Bile solubility is positive for Streptococcus pneumonia. Coagulase would be positive for Staphylococcus aureus. PYR is positive for Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A strep) which is ruled out by the resistance to bacitracin.

Microbiology

Spinal fluid cultures on a 3-day-old infant revealed beta-hemolytic, Gram-positive cocci occurring in pairs and chains. The organism was catalase-negative and bile esculin-negative. Resistance to 0.04 U disk of bacitracin was noted. The other test necessary to identify this organism is a positive test by:

Insulin is the hormone that is mainly responsible for the entry of glucose into the cell for energy production

Glucagon and epinephrine promote glycogenolysis, conversion of glycogen to glucose, which increases plasma glucose. Cortisol, along with glucagon, increases gluconeogenesis, formation of glucose from noncarbohydrates, which also raises plasma glucose concentration.

Chemistry

Which of the following hormones is mainly responsible for the entry of glucose into the cell for energy production?
