Autopsy conducted on an individual who had died of pneumonia revealed bluish-green pus filling the lung. The causative agent of pneumonia was most likely to be Proteus vulgaris

Escherichia coli

Salmonella typhi

Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Staphylococcus aureus

The agent causing the pneumonia, where bluish-green pus was found, is most likely Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Explanation:

Pseudomona aeuriginosa is a gram-negative bacteria that is one of the main causes of hospital-acquired infections, including pneumonias in mechanically ventilated patients.

One of the characteristics of P. aeuriginosa is the formation of a bluish-green pus, since it has the capacity to form cyanide-based blue pigment upon contact with the organic tissues it infects. This is the reason why previously P. aeruginosa was called a pyocyanic bacillus.

    The other options are not correct because the only bacterium that produces blue-green pus is P. aeruginosa.

Triploid egg

Explanation:

Triploid, with three copies of each chromosome. When a diploid sperm fertilizes a haploid egg cell it causes a triploid zygote, which leads to the chromosomalabnormalities in the zygote.
