Here are four toxins: diphtheria toxin, cholera toxin, tetanus toxin, and exfoliative toxin.
Choose two of them and answer the following questions:
1. Is it an exotoxin or an endotoxin?
2. Which bacterial species produces it?
3. Briefly describe its mode of action and how it causes damage to the host cells. Include
specific signs and symptoms.
A student argues that it makes no sense to be concerned about coliforms in drinking water because they are harmless members of our normal microbiota. Explain why regulatory agencies are concerned about coliforms.

- An 83-year-old patient has been ill the past couple of days with an upper respiratory infection. Her temperature has been elevated at 99.5° F. Her daughter took her to the physician because of the patient’s increasing shortness of breath, fatigue, and lack of appetite. The physician diagnosed a community-acquired viral pneumonia and prescribed a 10-day antibiotic regimen. The daughter asked the office nurse, “Why is my mother being put on antibiotics if she has a virus? I thought antibiotics did not work for a virus.” How would the nurse explain this to the patient and her daughter?arrow_forwardPropionibacterium acnes is a normal member of the skin microbiome that benefits the body by lowering the skin's pH- an antimicrobial effect.

- Mention microbial infections and most people think of hospitals, not summer camp. But being outdoors in the sunshine and fresh air is not without risk. In June 2012, a camp counselor in Omaha, Nebraska, was diagnosed with histoplasmosis, a fungal infection with symptoms similar to pneumonia: fever, headache, and respiratory distress. Although most people suffering from histoplasmosis will recover without medical treatment, the very young, very old, and people with chronic lung conditions are at greater risk for developing severe disease, which may on rare occasions prove fatal. In areas of the eastern and central United States, where Histoplasma capsulatum is endemic, dirt contaminated with bird and bat guano often contains spores of the fungus. Disturbing such contaminated dirt is a known risk factor for developing the disease. Because the sick camp counselor was one of 32 that worked at the camp, and the camp served 797 children, the Douglas County Department of Health (DCDH) and the…arrow_forwardRank the following microbes in terms of their resistance to disinfectants: Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, mycobacteria, bacterial endospores, vegetative protozoa, protozoan cysts, fungi, non-enveloped viruses, enveloped viruses.arrow_forwardA boy with advanced Duchenne muscular dystrophy developedpulmonary edema (accumulation of fluid in the lungs) and pneumoniacaused by a bacterial infection.

The fact that the boy could notbreathe deeply or cough effectively made the condition worse.

Would this be a scenario where an investigator could use Koch's postulate to determine the etiology of the patient's pneumonia? Why or why not?

The patient was given intravenous antibiotics, but 2 days into therapy the pneumonia worsened and he developed pulmonary edema. a) Which organism should be suspected of causing this illness?arrow_forward
