16
Q
  • promotes spreading of organisms in tissues
  • hyaluronic acid tightens face
  • bacteria prevents hyaluronic acid
  • s. aureus common cause of pimples
  • k-toxin heals tissue
A

streptococcus, staphylococcus and certain clostridium = hyaluronidase

17
Q
  • Insoluble blood protein
  • forms blood clots
18
Q

dissolves fibrin

A

streptokinase

19
Q

forms fibrin clots

20
Q
  • produced inside the cell but goes outside
  • are toxic proteins released from the pathogen cell as it grows
  • cytolytic, AB toxin, super antigen
21
Q
  • acts on the intestinal wall
  • Causes diarrhea
A

ENTEROTOXIN

22
Q
  • toxin that disrupts nerve cells
  • Clostridium tetani
  • Clostridium botulinum (bones)
A

NEUROTOXIN

23
Q
  • soluble, extracellular proteins produced by a variety of pathogens
  • damage the host cytoplasmic membrane, causing cell lysis and death
  • toxin that attacks the cell
A

CYTOLYTIC TOXIN

24
Q
  • inhibit protein synthesis
  • produces a and b toxin
  • improperly preserved foods
  • respiratory failure due to flaccid muscle paralysis
25
- body produce cytokins to kill s. aureus - large quantities of cytokin cause inflammation --> septic shock
SUPERANTIGEN
26
- inside - LPS - e.coli, shigella & salmonella - less toxic than exotoxin
ENDOTOXIN
27
- to detect LPS - uses horseshoe blood
LAL (Limulus amoebocyte lysate)
28
It is used in the biomedical industry to test medical devices and parenteral drugs for bacterial contamination before they are distributed
LAL (Limulus amoebocyte lysate)
29
LPS consists of three covalently linked subunits:
membrane-distal O-polysaccharide, lipid A, and a membrane-proximal core polysaccharide
