Exam 1: Lecture 2 Flashcards

1
Q

How do we develop immunity?

A
  1. virus enters the body
  2. virus enters cell
  3. virus will do what it does and replicate inside cell
  4. virus product released, APC will bind it
  5. APC will displace virus to activate helper T-cell
  6. T helper cells causes B cell to make antibodies, which will block virus from infecting cells and mark for destruction
  7. Cytotoxic T cells id and destroy virus-infected cells
  8. Long-lived T/B cells chill in body for months or years and provide immunity

Q

Archaea

A

Q

Virus structure

A
  1. core of RNA or DNA enclosed in capsid, or protein coat
  2. Glycoprotein envelope surrounds the capsid
  3. surface proteins inserted into envelope, help attach to host cell

Q

How virus invades cell?

A
  1. Virus enters a cell
  2. Substances in the cell begin to strip the virus’s outer coat of protein
  3. The nucleic acid in the center of the virus is released
  4. Nucleic acid gets into the cells chemical manufacturing system
  5. Cell “ignores” its own chemical needs and switches to making new viruses
  6. Cell is sometimes destroyed in process. Many new viruses are released to infect other cells
19
Q

Viral Shedding

A

expulsion and release of virus progeny following successful reproduction during a host-cell infection

20
Q

Bacteriophage viruses

A
  • Virus has head or “capsid” in which DNA is packed under very high pressure
  • when attach to bacterium, uses pressure to inject DNA
  • DNA integrates into DNA of host
  • bacteriophage choose between two different life styles…dormant/latent or burst/lyse (kills bacterium)
21
Q

Bacteria info

A
  1. single celled microbes
  2. no nucleus or membrane bound organelles
  3. Genetic info is contained in single loop of DNA
  4. Some bacteria have extra circle of genetic material
    (plasmid) . it contents genes that give bacterium advantage over other bacteria. ie antibiotic resistance
22
Q

Typical fungi spore size

A

1-40 micrometers in length

23
Q

Which kingdom of microbes do fungi belong to?

A

usually saprophytes (consume dead organisms)

24
Q

Example of human fungal pathogen

A

Candida albicans

it will raise pH of surrounding environment, causing alkalization

causes a white tongue

25
Q

Prion Theory

A
  1. Nerve cell makes normal PrP proteins
  2. Prion version of PrP invades, forcing normal PrP to refold into a prion form
  3. Unlike normal PrP, prions aren’t naturally destroyed by the cell. They accumulate, eventually killing it.
  4. Prions move to other cells, cycle begins again
26
Q

Mad cow and other wasting disease of the brain are caused by….

A

prions, not bacteria or viruses

27
Q

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease causes

A
  1. caused by abnormal proteins called prions that are not killed by standard methods for sterilizing surgical equipment
  2. prions build up in cells, brain slowly shrinks and tissue fills with holes until it looks like a sponge
28
Q

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease consequences

A

Those affected lose ability to think and move properly and suffer from memory loss

always fatal, about 1yr from onset

29
Q

4 Developments that have taken us from a 2-generation society to a four

A
  1. vaccination
  2. Hygienic Medical Practice
  3. Chlorination
  4. Antibiotics
30
Q

Vaccine info

A

only have 34 vaccines for 400 known pathogens

31
Q

Examples of Hygienic Medical Practice

A

Handwashing
Moving from antiseptic to aseptic
Ruber gloves, masks, gloves

32
Q

What is water Chlorination

A

process of adding chlorine or hypochlorite to water

used to kill certain bacteria and other microbes in tap water

used to prevent spread of waterborne diseases such as cholera, dysentary, typhoid

33
Q

Antibiotics & Alexander Fleming

A

Discovered penicillin in 1928

shared Nobel Prize w/ Howard Florey and Ernst Boris Chain in 1945

34
Q

Koch’s postulates purpose

A

criteria designed to establish a causative relationship between a microbe and a disease

35
Q

Koch’s postulates

A
  1. Microorganism must be found in abundance in all organisms suffering from the disease, but should not be found in healthy organisms
  2. Microorganism must be isolated form a diseased organism and grown in pure culture
  3. Cultured microorganism should cause disease when introduced into a healthy organism
  4. Microorganism must be preisolated form the inoculated, diseased experimental host and identified as being identical to the original specific causative agent
36
Q

Becoming a healthy human is…

A

impossible without microbes

important for homeostasis

37
Q

Endemic

A

constant presence (regularly found among particular people or in a certain area)

38
Q

Epidemic

A

Localized outbreak

39
Q

Pandemic

A

Widespread regional or global epidemic

40
Q

Infectivity

A

frequency with which an infection is transmitted when there is contact between the agent and a susceptible individual

ex, how many of those HIV positive will develop AIDS

41
Q

Disease Index

A

Number of persons who develop the disease divided by the total number infected

42
Q

Virulence

A

number of fatal or severe cases per total number of cases

43
Q

Incidence

A

number of new cases of a disease within a specified period

described as a rate in which the number of cases is on top, and number of people in population under surveillance is on bottom

ex. observe how many cases in 100ppl over 3 weeks

44
Q

Prevalence

A

described as a rate to indicate total number of cases existing in a population at risk at a point in time.
