BIO104 CH14+ INFECTION CONTROL pptx

QuestionAnswer
BIO104 (+ to CH14) INFECTION CONTROL
What does pathogenicity refer to? A. How much damage a pathogen causes B. How quickly a pathogen reproduces C. The ability of a microorganism to produce disease D. The way a microorganism leaves the body C. The ability of a microorganism to produce disease TIP: Pathogenicity = CAN it cause disease? YES or NO?
Which statement correctly compares pathogenicity and virulence? A. Pathogenicity measures severity; virulence determines whether disease is possible B. Pathogenicity asks whether it can cause disease; virulence describes the degree/intensity of damage C. They mean exactly the same thing D. Pathogenicity applies only to bacteria and virulence only to viruses B. Pathogenicity asks whether it can cause disease; virulence describes the degree/intensity of damage
PATHOGENICITY = VIRULENCE = CAN it cause disease? HOW BAD is the disease/damage?
Which statement about bacteria is correct? A. They have several nuclei B. They are multicellular organisms C. They are single-celled and lack a true nucleus D. They must live inside another cell C. They are single-celled and lack a true nucleus TIP: BACTERIA = ONE CELL + NO TRUE NUCLEUS

Rickettsia are actually a type of: A. Virus B. Fungus C. Protozoan D. Bacteria D. Bacteria
Rickettsia need to live: A. In dead organic matter B. Outside the body C. Inside cells D. Only in water C. Inside cells Rickettsia = BACTERIA that need to live INSIDE CELLS.
Rickettsia can be spread through bites from: A. Mosquitoes only B. Dogs and cats C. Fleas, ticks, mites, and lice D. Worms and fungi C. Fleas, ticks, mites, and lice

Which are the most common helminths? A. Fleas and ticks B. Amoebas and paramecia C. Pinworms and tapeworms D. Mites and lice C. Pinworms and tapeworms
What is the FIRST link in the Chain of Infection? A. Infectious agent B. Reservoir or source C. Portal of exit D. Susceptible host A. Infectious agent
Which sequence correctly represents the Chain of Infection? A. Reservoir → infectious agent → portal of entry → portal of exit → transmission → host B. Infectious agent → reservoir → portal of exit → mode of transmission → portal of entry → susceptible host C. Infectious agent → transmission → reservoir → susceptible host → portal of exit → portal of entry D. Susceptible host → infectious agent → reservoir → transmission → portal of entry → portal of exit B.
