Question
Answer
most common ways to penetrate the mucin layer   no receptors for mucin, degradative enzymes, being motile  
🗑
common entry point for bacteria in the gut mucosa   M cells - have a thinner mucin layer  
🗑
what bacteria use to adhere to host cells   pili & fimbriae (initial, more loosely) & afimbrial adhesins (usually most strongly, like E. coli AIDA)  
🗑
definition of biofilm   polysaccharide slime; 3D structural pillars with interlaced bacteria and channels that bring in nutrients and allow toxins to diffuse out  
🗑
examples of surfaces biofilms can develop on   body surfaces like teeth and lungs of CF pts, plastic implants like artificial valves or prostheses  
🗑
compound released by bacteria to chelate iron in host (so they can take it back up to use it)   siderophores  
🗑
host factors that bacteria bind to sequester iron   transferrin, lactoferrin and ferritin  
🗑
Iron-abstinent bacteria use what element instead for enzymatic cofactors?   manganese  
🗑
example of specie that rearranges host cytoskeleton to force it to eat them   Shigella  
🗑
examples of bacteria that force phagocyte uptake then prevent phagosome-lysosome fusion   Salmonella spp. and Mycobacteria tuberculosis  
🗑
example of bacterial genus shown in class that uses actin in host to propel itself through cytoplasm   Shigella  
🗑
3 important features of pathogenicity islands   have different CG content than rest of chr, usually inserted close to tRNA genes, acquired through horizontal transfer  
🗑
type III secretory system   essentially a molecular syringe inserted by bacterium into host cells to deposit virulence factors; spans both membranes  
🗑
2 ways GP bacteria with capsules resist phagocyte-mediated killing   changing their capsules to resemble host polysaccharides or sialic acid  
🗑
2 ways GN bacteria with LPS resist phagocyte-mediated killing   attach sialic acid to LPS O-antigen and change length of LPS O-antigen to make MAC form too far away from bacterium  
🗑
___ bacteria can have both exotoxins and endotoxins.   only GN  
🗑
The endotoxin of GN bacteria aka _____   LPS  
🗑
Exotoxins are found in both GP and GN bacteria.    
🗑
Bacterial toxins are encoded within _____.   bacteriophages and plasmids  
🗑
type I toxins aka _______   superantigens  
🗑
type II toxins aka _______   membrane-disrupting toxins  
🗑
mechanism of superantigen toxicity   bind indiscriminately to MHC class II on macrophages and TCRs, cause overwhelming toxic shock when as many as 1:5 T cells are activated  
🗑
example of type II toxin   Staphylococcus aureus alpha toxin  
🗑
mechanism of type II toxins   form pore connecting host and bacterium, increased osmotic pressure shoots water into the host cell and ruptures it; also phospholipase rushes in and degrades polar head groups from CM  
🗑
type III toxins aka _____   A-B toxins  
🗑
mechanism of type III toxins   A-B toxins are held together by disulfide bond. one or more B subunits bind host cell receptor, toxin is endocytosed and A (activity) portion moves into cytoplasm  
🗑
2 examples of A toxin activity within host cells   ADP-ribosylating various proteins or RNAse activity  
🗑
2 diseases known to be caused by A toxins that ADP-ribosylate important proteins within host   diphtheria and cholera  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
