117
Q

Process of cholera infection

A

Bacterium anchors to small intestines epithelial cells using flagellum so it does not get flushed out
Secretes a protein by exocytosis, one part binds to a specific receptor (protein is complementary to the shake of the receptor )
Other protein ( exotoxins) binds and disrupts Cl- ion channel found in the epithelial cell membrane
Cl- ion diffuses from elks into the lumen ( passive, down gradient - low to high )
Water potential of lumen is more negative and water potential of cells are less negative
H2O moves from less to more negative water potential ( from cells to lumen )

118
Q

A

Oral rehydration therapy
Antibiotics
Vaccine

119
Q
