Question
Answer
Capsulated organisms work by ____   Evade phagocytes. "Some Nasties Have Kapsules" Streptococcal pneumoniae, Neisseria, Hemophilus, Klebisella  
🗑
Protein A produced by _____.   S. aureus. Binds to Fc region of Ig, disrupting opsonization and phagocytosis.  
🗑
IgA protease   Enzyme that cleaves IgA.  
🗑
What organisms secrete IgA protease?   S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, Neisseria  
🗑
M protein. Secreted by ___.   Helps to prevent phagocytosis. Is secreted by streptococcal species.  
🗑
Exotoxin made from ___, Endotoxin made from ____.   Exotoxin= polypeptide, Endotoxin =LPS  
🗑
Location of genes for exotoxin, endotoxin   Exotoxin=plasmid, bacteriophage, Endotoxin= bacterial chromosome  
🗑
____ has vaccine available only   exotoxin  
🗑
Typical diseases with exotoxin   Tetanus, botulinism, diptheria  
🗑
Typical diseases with endotoxin   Meningococcemia, sepsis by gram negative bacteria  
🗑
Superantigens bind directly to ___ and ___. This activates ___ to release ___ and ___   Superantigens bind directly to MHC II and T-cell receptor simultaneously, activating large numbers of T cells to stimulate release of IFN-gamma and IL-2.  
🗑
Two bugs with superantigen toxins   S. Aureus, S. pyogenes  
🗑
Superantigen of S. aureus is called ____ and produces ___ with the symptoms of ____,____, ___.   TSST-1 (toxic shock syndrome) (fever, rash, shock)  
🗑
S. aureus also produces enterotoxins that cause ___ and ____.   Food poisoning and exfoliatin (scalded skin syndrome)  
🗑
Superantigen of S. aureus is called ____ and produces ___ with the symptoms of ____,____, ___.   TSST-1 (toxic shock syndrome) (fever, rash, shock)  
🗑
S. aureus also produces enterotoxins that cause ___ and ____.   Food poisoning and exfoliatin (scalded skin syndrome)  
🗑
Superantigen of S. aureus is called ____ and produces ___ with the symptoms of ____,____, ___.   TSST-1 (toxic shock syndrome) (fever, rash, shock)  
🗑
S. aureus also produces enterotoxins that cause ___ and ____.   Food poisoning and exfoliatin (scalded skin syndrome)  
🗑
S. pyogenes produces a ____ exotoxin. This toxin is called ____ and produces ___.   Scarlet fever-erythrogenic toxin; causes toxic shock syndrome)  
🗑
ADP ribosylating A-B toxins work by ____. B functions by ___. A functions by ____.   Interfere with host cell function. B= binds to receptor on surface of host cell, enabling endocytosis. A (active) then attaches an ADP-ribosyl to a host cell protein, altering protein function.  
🗑
3 bugs that use ADP ribosylating A-B toxins are ____,____, ____, ____.   Corynebacterium diptheriae, Vibrio cholerae, E. Coli, Bordetella pertussis.  
🗑
C. diptheriae produces an ___ type of exotoxin. It works by ___. It produces ____.   C. diptheriae produces an ADP-ribosylating A-B toxin. It works by inactivating (EF-2). It causes pharyngitis and "pseudomembrane" in throat.  
🗑
Pseudomonas Exotoxin is similar to ____   C. diptheriae  
🗑
V. cholerae produces an ___ type of exotoxin. It works by ____. Produces ____.   ADP-ribosylating AB toxin. It works by ADP ribosylating a G protein that stimulates adenylyl cyclase; this increases the Cl into the gut and decreases Na absorption. H20 moves into the gut and causes volumninous rice water diarrhea.  
🗑
E. coli produces an ___ type of exotoxin. It works by ____. Produces ____.   Heat labile = stimulates adenylate cyclase. Heat stable = stimulates guanylate cyclase. ADP-ribosylating AB toxin. Both cause watery diarrhea. "Labile like the Air, stable like the Ground".  
🗑
Bordatella pertussis produces an ____ type of exotoxin. It works by ____. Produces ___.   ADP-ribosylating toxin. It works by increasing cAMP by inhibiting Gi. Causes whooping caugh, inhibits chemokine receptor, causing lymphocytosis.  
🗑
Clostridium perfringens produces an ___ type of exotoxin.   Alpha toxin. Causes gas gangrene. Get double zone of hemolysis on blood agar.  
🗑
C. tetani produces an ___ type of exotoxin. it works by ___ and produces ____.   Blocks release of inhibitory neurotransmitters (GABA and glycine); causes lockjaw.  
🗑
C. Botulinum produces an ___ type of exotoxin. it works by ___ and produces ____.   Blocks acetylcholine; causes anticholinergic symptoms, CNS paralysis, especially cranial nerves. (Spores found in food = floppy baby)  
🗑
Bacillus anthracis produces an ___ type of exotoxin. it works by ___ and produces ____.   Edema factor type of adenylate cyclase  
🗑
Shigella produces an ___ type of exotoxin. it works by ___ and produces ____.   Shiga toxin (also produced by ETEC). Cleaves host cell rRNA (inactivates 60s); also enhances cytokine release. Causes HUS.  
🗑
S. Pyogenes produces produces an ___ type of exotoxin. it works by ___ and produces ____.   Streptolysin O is a hemolysin. antigen for ASO antibody which is used in diagnosis of rheumatic fever  
🗑
What four bacteria induce cAMP   V. cholerae, B. anthracis, E. coli (Heat labile), B. Pertussis  
🗑
V. cholerae increases cAMP by ___.   By activating Gs  
🗑
B. pertussis increases cAMP by ____. Pertussis also promotes ___ by inhibitng ___   By inactivating Gi (allowing cAMP to increase). Pertussis also promotes lymphocytosis by inhibiting chemokine receptors.  
🗑
Genes for the following 5 bacterial toxins encoded by a lysogenic phage   ABCDE. ShigA-like toxin, Botulinum toxin, Cholera toxin, Diptheria toxin, Erythorgenic toxin of S. pyogenes  
🗑
What are organisms get resistance via transformation?   S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, Neisseria (Same as the ones that have the IgA)"Engineers get NHS grants and do major transformations"  
🗑
Lysogenic acquired toxins   OBED (O- salmonella, Botulinum, erythrogenic toxin, Diptheria)  
🗑
