The CDC estimates that there are 1,000,000 cases of Salmonella infections , with 380 deaths each year in the US. Salmonella infections are a good example for O a disease for which number of cases annually can be easily estimated because the only successful treatment is with prescribed antibiotics an underreported disease because it is self-limiting, i.e. patient recovers without medical intervention

Clostridium difficile infection is the leading causeof hospital-associated gastrointestinal illness. It is typicallytreated with a course of antibiotics, but the infection recursin about 20% of cases. C. difficile infections are difficult toeradicate because the bacteria exist in two forms: a repli-cating, toxin-producing form and a spore form that is resis-tant to antibiotics. Fecal microbiota transplantation—thetransfer of normal gut microbiota from a healthy individ-ual—can resolve >90% of recurrent infections, a much bet-ter cure rate than further antibiotic treatment alone. Whydo you suppose microbiota transplantation is so effective?
A boy with advanced Duchenne muscular dystrophy developedpulmonary edema (accumulation of fluid in the lungs) and pneumoniacaused by a bacterial infection. His physician diagnosed the conditionin the following way: The pulmonary edema was the result of heartfailure, and the increased fluid in the lungs provided a site wherebacteria could invade and grow. The fact that the boy could notbreathe deeply or cough effectively made the condition worse. Howwould the muscle tissues in a boy with advanced DMD differ from themuscle tissues in a boy with less advanced DMD?
Choose the false statement: O A contaminated catheter might be an example of an iatrogenic infection. The size of an inoculum introduced into the host has little to do with the success or pathology of an infection. O A zoonosis is an infectious disease or pathogen that has crossed over from an animal species and begun to infect humans. O Vertical infections are those transferred from mother to child either during birth or via breastfeeding. Question 21 Choose the false statement below. O Long term consequences to a host that have been caused by infectious disease (such as heart disease after septicemia) are termed sequelae. OPortal of exit" refers to the way in which the immune system destroys an infection, or how antibiotics can be used to kill invading bacteria. O Whether or not a person is a susceptible host for disease is determined in part by where that person lives and how that person is employed.
