2.
To explain:
The reason for improvement in treatment of microsporidiosis as it is known that microsporidia are fungi and not animals.
Introduction:
The patient Darius is suffering from the disease of intestine called as “Encephalitozoon intestinalis”, which is caused by fungus strain microsporidia. It is spread through unprotected sexual activity and by consuming and drinking contaminated water. He frequently has pain in the abdomen, cramps, diarrhea and formation of gas. It has caused infection of eyes and blurring of vision.

- Microbes and humans. 1. At what age is an individual considered to have their full complement of normal resident microbiota? 2. What is the host and their role in infection? 3. What host characteristics influence the development of infection? 4. Name several ways microbes can attach to host tissues/cells. 5. Name one antiphagocytic factor and how does it work?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT true about human plague (Yersinia pestis infection)? Which option is the answer? 1. None of the other four answers (All are true about human plague) 2. Infected fleas’ gastrointestinal tract is blocked by Y. pestis growth, causing them to regurgitate and infect a new host when they bite 3. Painful swollen lymph nodes are called “buboes” 4. Usually acquired in the US from bites of fleas that have fed on infected urban rats 5. Yersinia pestis infection of lymph nodes can sometimes spread to the lungs, causing secondary pneumonic plaguearrow_forwardWhich 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)arrow_forward
