Q

Process of infection

Encounter:
Endogenous- normal part of body and in normal part of microbiome
Exogenous- transmitted from external source.

Transmission:
Direct contact: transmission from mother to child, exposure to blood and body fluids, HIV
Indirect: come into contact with affected materials- bandages, towels, droplet infection

Colonization:
Ability to survive and multiply in the human environment

Q

Hair like projections on the cell that attach to the tissue and invade the cell

A

Pili (fimbria)

24
Q

__ is small long thin tube like structures that move the organism

25
___ is an outer covering that is used for resistance
Capsules
26
___ is proteins that promote tissue invasion
Enzymes
27
Bacteria can alSo compete for iron and nutrients to fuel them to keep going and produce toxins which can affect virulence
Know
28
_____ is enzymes that can damage the plasma membranes of body cells or inactivate enzymes critical to protein synthesis. Also produce antitoxins which antibody Most severe is botulinum and can cause paralysis respiratory issues
Exotoxins
29
___ activate inflammatory response and produce fever Antibiotics don’t do well with this; they can not prevent the toxic effect of endotoxins
Endotoxins
30
____ is the prescience of bacteria in the blood
Bacteremia
31
____ is the growth of bacteria in the blood, failure of body’s defense mechanism, usually caused by gram negative bacteria, over production of pro inflammatory cytokines
Septicemia
32
Viral infection dependent on host cells. They have no metabolism, simple organism, spreads cells to cells. Transmission: Aerosol, infected blood, sexual contact, animal reservoir, vector
Know
33
The life cycle of the virus is INTRACELLULAR - attachment - penetration - uncoating - replication - assembly - release
Know
34
Viral life cycle ___ is when the virus becomes attached to a target epithelial cell
Attachment
35
Viral life cycle ___ is where the cell engulfs the virus by endocytosis
Penetration
36
Viral life cycle ____ is where the viral contents are release we
Uncoating
37
Viral life cycle ___ is where new viral particles are made and release into the extracellular fluid. The cell which is not killed in the process, continues to make new virus
Release
38
Viral life cycle ___ is where new phage particles are assembled
Assembly
39
Viral life cycle ___ is where viral RNA enters the nucleus.. where it is replicated by the viral RNA polymerase
Biosynthesis
40
Influenza __ is the only virus to cause a flu epidemic
A
41
Influenza ___ only causes a mild illness and doesn’t cause a epidemic
C
42
Influenza ___ only affects cows
D
43
Influenza A has two surface glycoproteins * hemagglutinin * neuramindase These are the receptors for attachment to human target cells
Know
44
Fungal infections Single celled yeats Are usually spheres or facultative anaerobes Multicellular molds Filaments or hyphae Aerobic
Know
45
___ is a type of fungus that invades the skin hair or nails. Tinea or ring worm
Dermatophytes
46
___ look like branching hyphae and ex is a ringworm
Molds
47
___ is spherical and round and you usually see it in hastoplasmosis. You can get it in soil that is affected by bird poop
Yeasts
48
Parasite infections The parasite will benefit at the expense of the human Unicellular protozoa to large worms (helminths) More common in developing countries Spread human to human via vectors
Know
49
With infectious disease Include inflammatory and immune response *FEVER is hallmark sign and is beneficial bc it turns on immune system Exogenous Pyrogens from organisms produce endogenous pyrogens
Know
50
Antimicrobials and antibiotics Born prevent spread of infection Inhibitation of cell wall , prevention of protein synthesis , blockage of DNA replication, interference with folic acid metabolism
Know
51
____ kill the micro organism
Bactericidal
52
___ inhibit growth of bacteria
Bacteriostatic
53
Antibiotic resistant infections can result in deaths. Resistance to single antibiotic has progressed to multiple antibiotic resistance Causes: Lack of compliance and over use of antibiotics
Know
54
Vaccines Biological preparations of antigens that stimulate production of protective antibodies Long Lasting immunity Primary immune short lives and booster injections Push immune response through secondary responses
Know
55
Passive immunotherapy Preformed antibodies given Human immunoglobulin for hepatitis immunoglobulin and monoclonal antibodies for rabies Monoclonal antibody for Rsv
