- Which of the following is NOT true of bacterial exotoxins? 1. Important in the pathogenesis of many human diseases 2. Their toxic effect can be systemic, affecting cells distant from the primary site of infection 3. None of the other four answers (All are true of bacterial exotoxins) 4. Different exotoxins may affect different types of cells (e.g., nerves, gastrointestinal mucosa) 5. Some exotoxins have two components, A (active) and B (binding)I don't know how to fill in this table. I submitted this question yesterday but the answer did not match up with the answer bank. These are the options to fill in the table - true pathogen, secondary infection, portal of exit, syndrome, portal of entry, oppunistic infection, opportunistic pathogen, morbidity, health care associated infection, virulence factor, pathogenicity, toxemiaThe parents of a 3-day-old male neonate are concerned by their child's condition.

- Which of the following is NOT a true statement about microbial infections and disease? 1. Some infections are caused by normal microbiota acting as opportunistic pathogens 2. For some infections, a portion of infected people may never develop any signs or symptoms of disease 3. The time between the effective exposure and appearance of the very first signs or symptoms is called the incubation period 4. None of the other four answers (All are true statements) 5. All infectious diseases are communicable; i.e., they can be transmitted between hostsBelow are a list of virulence factors/ strategies paired with an example of an organism that utilizes them. How do each of the following strategies contribute to the virulence of the pathogen? Strategy - Causes the host to produce more receptors (Organism - Rhinovirus) Strategy - Produces gas as a product of fermentation (Organism - Clostridium perfringens) Strategy - Produces a capsule (organism - Klebsiella pneumonia) Strategy - Ability to move between adjacent cells (organism - Cytomegalovirus) Strategy - Ability to use pilus as a motility structure (organism - Pseudomonas aerogenosa)You currently work in a BLS 2 lab with organisms that are classified as BSL 1 or 2.

- Part A) What barrier was breached by the pathogen? Part B) Describe how that barrier works and how it can prevent mom's pathogens from infecting the fetus. A tiny 1-kg (2.2-pound) female neonate (newborn) was born two months premature. The baby had extreme difficulty breathing and had to be intubated (a breathing tube inserted). The mother, at the time of admission, had complained of mild diarrhea and abnormal abdominal pain unrelated to her pregnancy. The infectious disease doctor who was called in to consult on the case immediately recognized the likely problem and ordered blood cultures be performed on the infant. The infant was also started on intravenous antibiotics. Two days later, the lab reported finding a Gram-positive bacillus-Listeria monocytogenes-in the infant's blood. This same organism was the cause of the mother's diarrhea. The mother had unwittingly ingested some unpasteurized cheese contaminated with this pathogen and developed listeriosis. The organism entered the…Which term would best describe the occurrence of a disease that is not normally seen, yet occasionally a case will occur, such as tetanus? 1) endemic O 2) sporadic 3) epidemic O 4) pandemicAside from the school laboratory facilities, How can we apply Aseptic Techniques in the following places as we are experiencing a Pandemic?
