Summary Introduction
To draw:
A concept map that describes the relationships among the given key terms.
Concept introduction:
Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes are responsible for causing the majority of the skin infections. Skin exposes an environment that is unfriendly for the growth of many microorganisms. Many microbes were found living under the skin and the majority of them resided within the outermost layer of the epidermis of the skin. These microbes are responsible for causing several infectious skin conditions.

- Please choose the answers that correctly describe the virulence factors of Staphylococcus aureus. Check All That Apply Coagulase enzyme causes blood plasma to clot. Staphylokinase enzyme destroys red blood cells. Penicillinase enzyme allows S. aureus to grow in the presence of penicillin. Hyaluronidase enzyme promotes Invasion of host tissues. Lipase enzyme causes a fever in the host.arrow_forwardThis 19-year-old college student went to the Student Health Services because she had a slowly developing rash on both earlobes, hands and wrist, and around her neck. Her medical history revealed that she had eczema in childhood. During her early teens, she had facial acne, for which she was given tetracycline. Physical examination revealed a rash of erythema and small blisters, with marked excoriation because of the itching. Her hands were red, scaly, and dry. The rash on her hands was different from the eruptions on her neck and ears. A contact hypersensitivity was suspected. Follow-up patch tests included a standard battery of agents—rubber, cosmetics, plant extracts, perfumes, nickel, and makeup. Strongly positive reactions for rubber and nickel were observed. The student was advised to eliminate contact with rubber (e.g., rubber gloves) used at home or on the job. Her jewelry probably contained nickel and was believed to be the source of the irritation to her earlobes, neck, and…arrow_forwardwhat is the name of the etiological agent?
