EXPERIMENT 14 Flashcards
Take note for H. pylori, it causes (?) and if untreated, it may lead to (?).
duodenal or gastric ulcers
gastric carcinoma
Highly immunogenic
CAGA
The severity of the disease is related to injection of the (?) protein into the gastric epithelial cells.
CagA
Once the (?) protein is in the epithelial cell, it will change the function of the epithelial cells signal transduction pathways and in the structure of the cytoskeleton.
CagA
gene that codes for a toxin precursor.
VACUOLATING CYTOTOXIN/ VACA
Epidemiological studies have shown that if your(?) are present in the strain of the bacteria infecting the individual, there is a high risk of developing gastric or peptic ulcers or gastric carcinoma. So, stomach cancer.
CagA and VacA genes
Plate on blood agar
Culture
Takes 24-48 hours
Culture
Not a serologic test but a microbiologic test
Culture
The best diagnostic test for determining Streptococcus pyogenes
Culture
Extract antigen from throat swab
Rapid EIA
Rapid (2 hours max) but not as sensitive as culture
Rapid EIA
A back up test for culture.
Rapid EIA
Serologic tests are performed to have an idea on how to manage the infection.
Rapid EIA
Amplify portions of the emm gene
PCR
