Q
  • Found in soil and are capable of long term
    survival. It produces Protective Antigen, Edema Factor, and Lethal Factor.
  • Considered as a major potential agent if
    bio terrorism because it forms spores very
    easily and spread easily even in dry soil.
  • Produces an anthrax, which is a serious
    infectious disease that can be transmitted
    through contact with contaminated animal products and can be manifest through inhalation, injection etc.

18
Q

 Infection of this bacteria ranges from mild diarrhea to severe colitis
 Antibiotic-associated bacteria occur because of an over growth of these
 Needs an antibiotic to cure the infection.

A

Clostridium difficile

19
Q

 A swelling of the large intestines
 Can be treated with antibiotics such as metronidazole, vancomycin, or fidaxomicin. These antibiotic may trigger a rapid increase of resistant of the bacteria if you continue using it without cautions.

contributes to the pathogenic effects
of the bacterium by damaging
intestinal cells.

A

Toxin B
