- Why does Helicobacter pylori cause ulceractions in the lining of the Stomach? 1)The microbes secrete a toxin that prevents the host from detecting invasion of the microbe and thus allows it to thrive in the stomach and damage the host cells. 2)After invasion of the microbe in the cells lining the stomach, they are no longer able to produce mucous to protect the host cells from acid erosion 3)The microbe produces an enzyme that causes the cell to produce potent digestive enzymes that erode the stomach lining. 4)Once the microbe has entered the stomach, it releases digestive enzymes that degrade the mucous secreting cells.arrow_forward1) How does cholera kill people? 2) What was Dr. Snow's initial hypothesis on the cause of cholera? 3) What methods did Dr. Snow use to test his hypothesis? 4) What was "The Report That Changed The World" ? 5) What is a voronoi diagram? 6) What is the definition of an "A B Test" ? 7) Name a place where cholera is still a problem today. 8)What public health policies would you apply to help that place?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about Pasteurella multocida is false?a) Infections generally respond to a penicillin.b) It can cause epidemics of fatal disease in domestic animals.c) It is commonly found in the mouths of biting animals, including humans.d) A vaccine is used to prevent P. multocida disease in people.e) Cat bites are more likely to result in P. multocida infections than dog bites.arrow_forward
