Q

What is the difference between a facultative anaerobe and an obligate anaerobe?

A

A facultative anaerobe makes ATP by aerobic respiration in presence of oxygen, but can switch to anaerobic respiration if no oxygen is present. An obligate anaerobe makes ATP in the presence of oxygen, but will die without oxygen.

Q

What is a veterinarian’s role when it comes to parasites?

A

We must be able to figure out what kind of parasite it is, if a host species is infested/invaded, where the parasite came from, what harm it can cause, can we eliminate it and how, and if can infect people.

Q

How does a protozoa move?

A

Pseudopodia
Flagella

Cilia

18
Q

Why are virus infected cells more likely to be recognized by NK cells as “non-self”?

A

More MHC I on surface of cell

19
Q

Which type of cell increases very rapidly right after viral infection of a host?

A

NK Cells

20
Q

What stimulates the proliferation of lymphocytes in the body?

A

The release of cytokines produced by infected cells and dendritic cells.

21
Q

What are the two methods that can be used in AST?

A

Dilution and Agar Diffusion

22
Q

What does MIC and MBC stand for?

A

Minimum Inhibitory Concentration

Minimum Bacterial Concentration

23
Q

T or F: MIC and MBC measurements are accurate.

A

A range is given which is not exactly accurate.

24
Q

When is an agar dilution method of AST used?

A

Used for research purposes when many strains have to be tested for one drug.

25
Q

Which method, diffusion or dilution, has higher reproducibility and it more expensive?

A

Dilution

26
Q

What are some of the most critical factors affecting reproducibility of AST?

A
  1. The inoculum density
  2. Depth of the agar
  3. The type of medium
27
Q

What is a breakpoint?

A

A drug-specific value to interpret results of susceptibility testing of an antibacterial to determine if it would be useful in treating a bacterial infection.

28
Q

What is a romanowsky stain (Diff-Quick, Wrights) used to detect?

A

Bacteria and parasites

29
Q

Which type of media selects for gram positive bacteria? What about gram negative?

30
Q

What are the three types of agar cultures?

A
  1. Nutrient
  2. Selective
  3. Differential
31
Q

What is biochemical testing using enzymes and fermentation helpful for detecting?

A

The ID of a pathogen

32
Q

When would you decide to not use a culture in diagnostics?

A

When you are dealing with a virus/parasite or the organism grows slowly

33
Q

What is an acid-fast stain?

A

Identification of acid-fast organisms; organisms that have a very resistant impenetrable cell wall

34
Q

Mycobacterium, Cryptosporidium, and Nocardia can all be seen under what type of stain?

A

Ziehl-Neelsen Stain (acid-fast)

35
Q

What are the four steps taken when using a gram stain?

A
  1. Apply purple dye
  2. Apply iodine mordant
