ONE of the following statements about the microbiome is CORRECT? Microbes can have a protective effect on and in the body by establishing themselves as normal residents. O Microbes are not important in the development of our immune system. O The microbiome is entirely a parasitic relationship between the microorganism and the host. O The microbiome consists entirely of pathogenic bacteria kept under control by the host immune system. O The microbiome does not vary according to the diet of the host.

How do you track energy through organisms at each tropic level?

Please no written by hand and no emage Choose all that is TRUE for infectious disease: Virulence is a synonym (the same) as pathogenicity. Pathogenicity is a synonym (the same) as infectivity. Epidemiological Triangle is a model to understand infectious disease Only viruses cause infectious disease M If a disease is fatal, virulence can be measured by the case fatality rate.

An elderly person goes into a hospital with the flu and contracts pneumonia. The flu is a O Primary Secondary infection!

Pregnant women are often cautioned against cleaning cat litter boxes. This is because Toxoplasma, an intestinal parasite of cats, can be transmitted from infected feces to the expectant mother and ultimately to the fetus. For these reasons, Toxoplasma is considered  a nosocomial disease. a necrotizing disease. an addictive disease. a communicable disease. a zoonotic disease. a noninfectious disease.

Which of the following scenarios does NOT describe a method by which the normal microbiome can cause disease? O ingestion of food contaminated with an enteric pathogen O spread of infection in an individual with complement factor deficiency O invasion of tissues through surgical wounds O a cancerous lesion in the colon

write an article on the role of the microbiome for human health: from basic science to clinical applications

Microbiology Provide an example of a person with a particular blood type that should NOT donate to another person with a particular blood type.  Make sure to include the immunology.

Although technically not part of the immune system,nonpathogenic normal microbiota play a major role inpreventing disease. Describe this role.

1. Describe differences between microbiota and pathogens. 2. Discuss the relationship between infection and disease and between virulence and pathogenicity. 3. Distinguish between the signs and symptoms of a disease. 4. Explain the role of immunopathogenesis in infectious disease. 5. Describe the five basic stages of infectious disease. 6. Describe complex versus simple infection cycles. 7. Differentiate endemic, epidemic, and pandemic disease. 8. Explain animal reservoirs and vectors. 9. Describe the various portals of entry and exit for microbial pathogens. 10. Define the biological features of human hosts that influence the course of an infection.
