host microbe interactions Flashcards
(30 cards)
infection
process by which microbe enters relationship with host, NOT NECESSARILY CAUSING DISEASE
How many bacteria on humans
10^14
pathogenicity
ability of a microbe to cause disease
pathogen
microbe capable fo causing host damage
virulence
relative capacity of a microbe to cause damage in a susceptible host
virulece
relative capacity of a microbe to cause damage in a susceptible host
koch’s postulates
- microbes present in disease lesions, 2. you can isolate them from the lesion and grow them in vitro, 3. injecting those into animals reproduces disease and 4. you can resolute them from the new lesions
6 stages of infection
encounter entry spread multiplication damage outcome
route of infection and infectious dose- what stage
encounter
colonization and adherence- what stage
entry
spreading factors 3 examples
hyaluronidase, elastase, collagenase
inhibiting spread enzyme example
coagulase
host response to infectious agent that lives inside tissue cells
antibodies don’t inhibit attachment but prevent entry- IgG, A, aM
3 examples of infectious agents that multiply inside cells
virus’, rickets, malarial merozoites
4 things that replicate inside phagocytes
TB, virus’ leishmania, trypanosomes
host response to things that replicate inside phagosomes
activate phagocytes like T cells–> produce lymphokines, try to get them resistant to infection
how do you deal with extracellular infections
kille xtracellularly via complement mediated lysis or intracellularly via opsonized phagocytosis and killing
___ and ___ infect and multiply outside of cells
most bacteria and trypanosomes
3 things that replicate outside of cells but attachment to body surface is necessary for invasion
streptococci, gonorrheae, e. coli
how do we deal with things that replicate outside of cells but attachment to body surface is necessary for invasion
prevent attachment by coating surface with IgA
2 g+ and 1 g- bacteria on skin
+- staph, corneybacteria, -= enteric baccii
2 g+ bacteria in the oropharynx
alpha-hemolytic strep and cornebacteria
2 g+ in large intestine
micrococcus strep and lactobacilli
2 g+ in vagina
streptococci and lactobaciilli
