Microorganisms and Disease What is common in catheters and ventilators? They are used primarily in neonatal intensive care units They bypass important defenses of the body Bacteria responsible for associated infections are usually susceptible to antibiotics They predispose patients to viral rather than bacterial infections They are used primarily in neonatal intensive care units They bypass important defenses of the body Bacteria responsible for associated infections are usually susceptible to antibiotics They predispose patients to viral rather than bacterial infections 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 survive within macrophages 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 the acid pH of the stomach survive within macrophages secrete LT (heat labile toxin) and ST (heat stable toxin) into the lumen of the intestine activate T cells to proliferate and secrete cytokines ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Microorganisms and Disease The "A" subunit of diphtheria toxin binds host cell receptors found on heart cells forms cAMP that leads to fluid accumulation lysis macrophages with the release of cytokines cause ADP ribosylation of a factor involved in protein synthesis binds host cell receptors found on heart cells forms cAMP that leads to fluid accumulation lysis macrophages with the release of cytokines cause ADP ribosylation of a factor involved in protein synthesis ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
