Microorganisms and Disease What is common in catheters and ventilators? They predispose patients to viral rather than bacterial infections Bacteria responsible for associated infections are usually susceptible to antibiotics They bypass important defenses of the body They are used primarily in neonatal intensive care units They predispose patients to viral rather than bacterial infections Bacteria responsible for associated infections are usually susceptible to antibiotics They bypass important defenses of the body They are used primarily in neonatal intensive care units ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Microorganisms and Disease Plastic implants can pose a serious nosocomial infection problem because phagocytes have trouble engulfing bacteria embedded in a biofilm phagocytes have trouble moving on the plastic surface All of these infected implants usually have to be surgically removed phagocytes have trouble engulfing bacteria embedded in a biofilm phagocytes have trouble moving on the plastic surface All of these infected implants usually have to be surgically removed ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Microorganisms and Disease Cholera toxin is an A-B type toxin in which the B portions bind to a receptor on a host cell and the A portion enters the cell to cause ADP ribosylation of adenylate cyclase that stops production of cAMP ADP ribosylation of guanylate cyclase that stimulates production of cGMP cleavage of rRNA that results in disruption of ribosome function ADP ribosylation of a G protein that locks it into an active form that stimulates adenylate cyclase to make cAMP ADP ribosylation of adenylate cyclase that stops production of cAMP ADP ribosylation of guanylate cyclase that stimulates production of cGMP cleavage of rRNA that results in disruption of ribosome function ADP ribosylation of a G protein that locks it into an active form that stimulates adenylate cyclase to make cAMP ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Microorganisms and Disease Type III secretion systems are used to inject "effector" proteins directly into a host cell. Salmonella uses a type III secretion system to help the pathogen to survive the acid pH of the stomach secrete LT (heat labile toxin) and ST (heat stable toxin) into the lumen of the intestine activate T cells to proliferate and secrete cytokines survive within macrophages survive the acid pH of the stomach secrete LT (heat labile toxin) and ST (heat stable toxin) into the lumen of the intestine activate T cells to proliferate and secrete cytokines survive within macrophages ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
