(M. Animation)



How do capsules enable bacteria to evade the immune system

Capsules block the compliment binding sites on the surface of a pathogen

Because some flu victims had no H. Influenzae in their lungs

A patients immune system is fully responsive during what stage of a disease

At decline

A patients immune system is fully responsive during what stage of a disease

At decline

As an asymptomatic individual ____ can still be detected

Leukopenia

In early years of microbiology, what was a major flaw in their experimental process

They did not isolate pure cultures of the suspected agent

What is NOT a reason that bacteria capsules are effective in the inhibition of Phagocytosis

They contain chemicals that are lethal to phagocytes

Fecal-oral infectionsare usually a result of

Waterborne transmission

Fecal-oral infectionsare usually a result of

Waterborne transmission

Ten patients contracted the same disease in the same hospital ward, what mode of transmission is most applicable

Vehicle transmission

Which type of diseases have the shortest time frame

Acute

Identification of the index case is important in what type of epidemiology

Descriptive epidemiology

Identification of the index case is important in what type of epidemiology

Descriptive epidemiology

In 100, 000 people, there are 100 new cases of syphilis in a population. What is the incident rate?

100 per 100, 000

What is the most effective way to reduce the number of health care associated infections

Hand washing

Humans have species resistance to feline immunodeficiency virus because

Humans do not have the chemical receptors that are required for attachment

Why are smokers more likely to have infections with respiratory pathogens

Because Poisons in tobacco damage ciliated columnar cells

What will happen if an animal who is raised in an axenic envirnment becomes exposed to a pathogen later in life

The animal wool exhibit a poor immune response

The skin and mucus membrane ate similar because

Epithelial cells are packed closely together

Tears contain the following antibacterial substance

Lysozome

This is a way that antimicrobial peptides are used in the 2nd line of defense

They serve as chemotactic factors fir leukocytes

Malfunctioning goblet cells would result in

Increased respiratory infections

Microbiologists have isolated a bacteria from the skin and susah to determine whether or not it's normal microbiota. What would NOT be good evidence for this

The bacteria produces a number of virulent factors

Because of the action of tears, potential pathogens will end up ____

In the stomach

Phagocytic cells associated with the epidermis are called

Dendritic cells

Erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets ate formed by a process called

Hematopoiesis

A differential white blood cell count shows elevated levels of eosinophils probably indicates

Allergies

From the steps listed for phagcytosis, what is the 3rd step

Fusion of vesicles with lysozomes

What is the Likely outcome if a microbe could prevent activation of C3

The microbe would be uneffected by the complement

Why is the alternative pathway of complement useful in the early stages of an infection

Because it doesn't rely on the activation by antibodies

What leukocyte is responsible for the immune response to helminths

Eosinophils

If a microbe where capable of preventing a phagosome from fusing with a lysozome, what would occur

The microbe could survive inside the phagosome

A human cell that maintains the antiviral state induced by alpha and beta interferons will die because

It cannot make proteins
