Bacterial Pathogens

Frage 1 von 19

1

Which are correct regarding Bacillus anthracis?

Wähle eine oder mehr der folgenden:

  • Spore-forming

  • Gram-Negative

  • Gram-Positive

  • Can encode a capsule

  • Is not typically transmitted via respiratory tract

Erklärung

Frage 2 von 19

1

Which enzyme allows Yersinia pestis to survive in the midgut of the flea?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • phospholipase D

  • phosphokinase

  • adenylate cyclase

  • protease

Erklärung

Frage 3 von 19

1

There is currently research being done to make an anthrax vaccine. A current candidate for a vaccine is LF (lethal factor) mutant E687C, which induces anti-LF antibody formation but lacks LF enzymatic activity. If a patient was given the E687C mutant as a vaccine but then was exposed to wildtype Bacillus anthracis, what would happen?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • The patient would get an intense anthrax infection. The mutant and wildtype LF would both contribute to pathogenesis causing lethal vascular collapse in the heart.

  • The patient would get a normal anthrax infection. The vaccine doesn’t have the same protein structure as wildtype LF so it wouldn’t be effective against wildtype B. anthracis.

  • The patient would not get an anthrax infection. The vaccine would cause the immune system to recognize B. anthracis and activate an immune response

Erklärung

Frage 4 von 19

1

Which bacterium does not survive within the host by disabling or killing phagocytic cells?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Yersinia pestis

  • Bacillus anthracis

  • Treponema pallidum

Erklärung

Frage 5 von 19

1

You are a doctor and have several patients come into your clinic. They have various symptoms: some have skin infections and lesions, some have necrosis of intestines, and some have lung infections. You aren’t concerned because the symptoms don’t seem connected. However, your clinical microbiologist fears an outbreak in your city. What microbe did the clinical microbiologist identify causing infection in all 3 of your patients?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Yersinia pestis

  • Salmonella typhimurium

  • Bordetella pertussis

  • Bacillus anthracis

  • Shigella flexneri

Erklärung

Frage 6 von 19

1

What are the major virulence factors of Bacillus anthracis?

Wähle eine oder mehr der folgenden:

  • the anthrax toxins

  • an antiphagocytic polyglutamic capsule

  • Yop

Erklärung

Frage 7 von 19

1

How do the three anthrax toxins participate in pathogenesis?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • They alter cell signaling pathways in the host to interfere with innate immune responses in early stages of infection and to induce vascular collapse at late stages

  • They migrate to the regional lymph nodes, are phagocytosed by polymorphonuclear and mononuclear phagocytes, and multiply intracellularly.

  • They silence the pro-inflammatory cytokine response and cause apoptotic death of the infected macrophages

  • They penetrate intact mucous membranes or microscopic dermal abrasions and, within a few hours, enter the lymphatics and blood to produce systemic infection

Yersinia pestis rapidly penetrates intact mucous membranes or microscopic dermal abrasions and, within a few hours, enters the lymphatics and blood to produce systemic infection

Wähle eins der folgenden:

Frage 13 von 19

1

evades the immune system via antigenic variation of a surface-exposed protein
On contact with host macrophages, injects resulting in the silencing of the pro-inflammatory cytokine response and in apoptotic death of the infected macrophages
In , binds to cellular receptors to translocate and into cells. The toxins alter cell signaling pathways in the host to interfere with innate immune responses in early stages of infection and to induce vascular collapse at late stages.
