Later charge nurse tell you the patient, a 3 year old girl, has not received any childhood vaccinations.

1. what is most likely causative agent .How do you know?

2.Explain your results on blood and chocolate agar.

3. Why is the fact that agent is not diplococci significant.

4. Give background info on the causative agent. Also explain what is causing the cloudiness in the CSF fluid.

5. Is this type of infection most often accompanied by increased PMNs, or increased lymphocytes. Explain.

6. Give detailed info about your choice organism: microbial characteristic, nutritional requirements, and growth characteristics(i.e facultative anaerobe, acidophile, capsule forming, lophotrichous flagella..)

You are to write a class StringPlay that has only a main method. This class contains all interaction with the user.

The main method

• Uses a Scanner to accept user input
• Maintains a “current” String
• Uses a sentinel-controlled loop to accept multiple user commands, or exit
• The program displays a message asking the user to enter one of the following commands
  • a – enter a new value for current
  • b – padLeft asks the user for the number of characters to add to the start of the current string, and the character to use for the padding
  • c – padRight asks the user for the number of characters to add to the end of the current string, and the character to use for the padding
  • d – zapLeft asks the user for the number of characters to remove from the start of the current string
  • e – zapRight asks the user for the number of characters to remove from the end of the current string
  • f – exits the program
• The loop body performs its actions using the appropriate method from StringUtils.
• After the action is completed, the loop displays the current string and prompts for another command.

Notes

Use Scanner’s next method for the “e” command; we will limit our user input to have no spaces or other whitespace. Similarly, padding characters will not be whitespace. You may assume valid user input.
