Infection correct answers colonization of the body by a microorganism Disease correct answers any change from the general state of good health; not all disease is due to infection and infection does not always cause disease Sign correct answers Objective evidence of disease (rash, fever) Symptom correct answers Subjective evidence of disease (pain, headache) Mutualism correct answers benefits both organisms Commensalism correct answers One population benefits, the other is neither...

pathogenicity Ans: ability to cause disease by overcoming the defenses of a host virulence Ans: degree or extent of pathogenicity portals of entry Ans: avenues through which pathogens gain entrance into a host, through skin, mucous membranes, or parenterally ID50 Ans: virulence of a microbe, infectious dose for 50% of a sample pop. LD50 Ans: potency of a toxin, lethal dose for 50% of a sample pop. 2 adherence (adhesion) Ans: attachment between pathogen and host adhesins/ligands A...

degree or ability of a pathogenic organism to cause disease. features and qualities that enhance the ability of a bacterium to cause a disease (example: urease, toxins, streptolysin, slime, spores, protease, neurotoxins, drug resistance, etc.) - virulence and virulence factors immunity acquired through exposure to antigen and response of one's own immune system - active immunity immunization using pre-formed antibody from another individual - passive immunity illness or condition is ofte...

MIP 300 Exam 2: Questions and answers, rated A+ There are many factors that affect the outcome of a host microbe interaction (disease or lack of disease development). Please describe at least 3 factors that help determine whether a microbe will cause a disease in a particular host. - -1. ability to adhere to and colonize host - adhesins help adhere to surfaces: fimbriae/pili, capsule/glycocalyx/slime layer, S-layer, techoic acid, viral capsids & envelopes. 2. ability to grow in or on...

Agonist - Competitive inhibition, binds to active site and causes a signal response in receptive tissue. Antagonist (blocker) - Competitive inhibitor, binds to active site so signal molecules cannot bind but causes no response in receptive tissue, can bind and release eventually. Apply your understanding of channels and synapses to predict how various neurotoxins affect nervous function. - Neurotoxins block receptor proteins on the post-synaptic neuron. Example: tetrodotoxin form Fugu fish...
