Study guide for Spring 2011 Microbiology class
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| a pathogenic microorganism has entered the body | Infected |
| Do all infections cause disease? | No |
| permanently colonize in specific locations of the body but do not cause disease | normal microbiota |
| is in the body for days, weeks, or months but eventually disappears | transient microbiota |
| Normal microbiota contribute to nonspecific defenses of the host by | feeding on the waste of cells and getting rid of dead cells |
| Briefly describe the 3 types of symbiotic relationships. | Commensalism: one organism benifits while the other organism is unaffected mutualism: both organisms benifit parasitism: when one organism benifits while harming the other |
| What is an opportunistic infection? | when disease happens due to conditions of the body changing and pathogen is able to thrive |
| Briefly discuss Typhoid Mary's condition using terms described in lecture. | Her condition was infecting the people she worked for and causing disease. At this point the pathogen had commensalism symbiosis relationship with her. |
| How the disease is caused | Etiology |
| The Etiology of syphilis is | spirochette Treponema pallidum |
| How does Robert Koch fit into the topic of Etiology? | He came up with Scientific method which led to experiments leading up to cures of diseases. |
| How the person is feeling | symptoms |
| observable traits of what the pathogen is doing to the body | signs |
| disease that can be spread | communicable disease |
| diseae that cannot be spread | noncommunicable disease |
| Give examples of the following infectious diseases: -sporadic -endemic -epidemic -pandemic -emerging | -TB -Flu -AIDS -TB -Buobonic plague |
| What are primary and secondary infections? | Primary infection is when a pathogen gets inside the body. Secondary infection happens when the immune system has been weakened by the primary infection and allows more pathogen to infect the body. |
| Distinguish between local, focal, and systemic infection. | -happens in one are of the body -when microorganism are spread throughout the body through blood -when local infection spreads to other parts of the body through blood/lymph |
| Distinguish between bacteremia, septicemia, toxemia, and viremia. | -when blood has bacteria in it -when the bacteria in blood is multiplying quickly -when blood contains toxins -when virus is found in the blood |
| List 3 major catergories of pathogen reservoirs and at least 2 examples of disease of each. | -Human: AIDS and Hepatitis -Animal: Rabies and Flu -Nonliving: pathogenic fungi and pastrointestinal disorder |
| List 3 major ways pathogens are trasferred from reservior to host. | Contact, vehicle and vector |
| What are the most common portals of exit? How does this term relate to disease transmission | respiratory and gastrointestinal tract; related to part of body infected |
| What is nasocomial infection and describe why it is so prevalent? What is the most common infection? | -infection acquired during hospital stay; they are so prevalent because the patient's body is already weakened and the infection is already present in the hospital; UTI |
| How can microbes enter the host? What is the most common portal of entry? | Mucous membranes and break in skin; most common is through GI or repiratory tract |
| How is the parenteral route different from entering through the skin? | the skin or mucous membranes are penetrated |
| used for expressing the virulence or potency of a microbe or its toxin represents lethal dose for 50% of hosts | LD50 |
| does required to produce a demonstrable infection in 50% of the hosts | ID50 |
| What features of bacteria contribute to adherence to the host cell? | Adhesions or ligands |
| What features allows the pathogen to penetrate host defenses? | Capsules and components of cell wall |
| List enzymes secreted by bacteria to promote healthy colonization of the pathogen in the host. | leukocidins, hemolysins, coagulases, kinases, hyaluronidase, collagenase |
| What are the first line defenses? | skin and the mucous membranes of the respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems |
| What are the second line defenses? | cells (phagocytes), antimicrobial chemicals, and processes (inflamation, fever) |
| What are the third line defenses? | specfic immunity |
| What are the 3 barriers that comprise the first line defenses? Know examples. | Anatomical/physical (skin); Chemical (tears); genetic (level of sensitivity) |
| defenses against any pathogen | nonspecific resistance |
| What is the role of the skin and mucous membrane in nonspecific resistance? | Skin and the mucuos membrane is a physical barrier from the pathogen |
| removes debris from the lungs through the cilia | ciliary escalator |
| Differentiate between mechanical and chemical factors as they relate to nonspecific defenses, and list several examples. | Surveillance of the body; recognition of foreign material, and destruction (including WBC)____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
| How does normal microbiota contribute to non-specific defenses? | It keeps a balanced environment for the pathogens helping the body. |
| What is the role of white blood cells in the body? | It will recognize microbes and will get rid of it |
| What are the 5 major types of white blood cells? | Neutrophiles, Eosinophils, Basophils, Lymphocytes, and Monocytes |
| What are the 4 major systems that help the body? | Reticuloendothelial system (RES), Extracellular fluids system (ECF), Blood and circulatory, and Lympathic |
| What is the lympathic system? | Part of the immune sytem that transports lymph |
| What are the parts of the lumpathic system? Describe each of those parts. | Fluids-plasma like fluid;Vessels-parallel to blood system & returns lymph to blood system;lymph nodes- filters lymph; spleen-filters blood; thymus-releases T-cells in embryo and supply mature T-cells for adults; GALT AND MALT- recognize microbes from food |
| What are four major processes involved in non-specific immunity? | inflammation, phagocytosis, interferon, and complement |
| What is inflammation? | redness, warmth, swelling, pain, and loss of function |
| List the stages and characteristics of inflammation. | vascular changes, edema, and fever |
| Describe the cause and effects of fever. | it is caused by pyrogens; it inhibits microbe and viral multiplication |
| What is phagocyte and phagocytosis? | phagocytes are neutrophils, eosinophils, and macrophages; phagocytosis attacks foreign debris and ingest them |
| What are the mechanisms involved in phagocytosis? | Chemotaxis, Ingestion, Phagolysosome, and Destruction |
| Differentiate between lysosome and lysozymes. | Lysosomes_____________________________________ Lysozymes_____________________________________ |
| What is interferon? And what is its role in non-specific immunity? | Synthesized by WBC and Tissue cells under attack; it is not virus specific |
| What is the process known as complement? | it helps with immunity and helps fight of bacteria and viruses through breakdown of proteins |
| What are the stages of complement activation? | initiation, amplification and cascade, polymerization, and membrane attack |
| Differentiate between innate and acquired immunity. | innate gives immediate defense to the host while acquired gives defense against the pathogen for life and is triggered by the innate immunity |
| Differentiate between immunity and nonspecific resistance. | immunity is activated by the pathogen while nonspecific resistance is in the body when it is normal |
| What are the characteristics of B cells? | it is an antibody that can morph in to plasma cells |
| responds and attacks antigens | antibody |
| a toxin in the body | antigen |
| When cells recognize to clone or delete themselves as a response to immunity by B and T cells | clonal selection |
| Explain how antibody reacts with an antigen; identify the consequences of the reaction. | opsonization, agglutination, neutralization, and complement fixation. |
| Distinguish between a primary and secondary immune response. | Primary- first exposure; Secondary-re-exposure and now have memory cells that can produce antibodies quickly |
| Contrast the four types of acquired immunity and know examples of each. | _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
| What are the characteristics of T cells. | direct involvement of T cells, produce and react to cytokines, activated simultaneously with B cells, and have unique CD receptors |
| Type I | happens in seconds to minutes and includes most cells |
| Type II | happens in minutes to hours and includes RBC |
| Type III | happens in several hours and includes neutrophils |
| Type IV | happens in days and includes activated T cells |
| Briefly describe T cell activation | Cell mediated-immunity, antigen presenting cells, and transformation |
