Microorganisms and Disease What is common in catheters and ventilators? They are used primarily in neonatal intensive care units Bacteria responsible for associated infections are usually susceptible to antibiotics They bypass important defenses of the body They predispose patients to viral rather than bacterial infections They are used primarily in neonatal intensive care units Bacteria responsible for associated infections are usually susceptible to antibiotics They bypass important defenses of the body They predispose patients to viral rather than bacterial infections ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Microorganisms and Disease A major difference between EHEC and EPEC is EPEC passes through the placenta to infect the fetus and EHEC does not EPEC rearranges host cell actin and EHEC does not EHEC secretes a Shiga-like toxin and EPEC does not EHEC possesses a type III secretion system and EPEC does not EPEC passes through the placenta to infect the fetus and EHEC does not EPEC rearranges host cell actin and EHEC does not EHEC secretes a Shiga-like toxin and EPEC does not EHEC possesses a type III secretion system and EPEC does not 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 Which of the following is common in the disease caused by Coryne-bacterium diphtheriae and Bacillus anthracis? The most serious disease symptoms are the direct result of toxin action Both organisms are gram-positive spore formers Diphtheria toxin and edema toxin are ADP ribosylating toxins Both organisms cause skin and respiratory tract infections The most serious disease symptoms are the direct result of toxin action Both organisms are gram-positive spore formers Diphtheria toxin and edema toxin are ADP ribosylating toxins Both organisms cause skin and respiratory tract infections 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 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 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 ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
