65
Q

The alpha toxin produced by Clostridium perfringens is a lecithinase that ____

A

degrades cell membrane phospholipids

66
Q
A

Recombination is the exchange of genetic material between two chromosomes of similar or related viral strains that have coinfected a host cell. The exchange occurs through crossing over of genes between two regions of homologous base sequences, which results in progeny with genetic material from two parental viral strains. This process increases genetic diversity in viral progeny

67
Q
A

Complementation occurs when two viruses coinfect a host cell. One virus (virion A) produces a functional protein while the other (virion B) has a mutation in its genome that results in the production of a nonfunctional protein. Through complementation, the functional protein produced by virus A is used in both progeny A and B viruses. No genetic information is exchanged

Ex: HepB and HepD

68
Q
A

Phenotypic mixing occurs with coinfection of a cell with two related viruses (virus A and virus B). The genome of virus A is partially or completely coated by the surface proteins of virus B, resulting in the formation of a pseudovirion (viral hybrid), comprising the genome of virus B and the surface proteins of virus A. The new protein coat determines the infectivity of the hybrid virus. Because no genetic information is exchanged, future generations lose their infectivity and return to their previous state (future virions will have the coat from virus B)

69
Q
A

Viral reassortment is the exchange of genetic material between segments of two (or more) viruses of the same strain that have coinfected the same cell. Progeny has the new assortment of genetic material. This process only occurs in viruses with segmented genomes (e.g., influenza virus, rotavirus) and can cause antigenic shift, which significantly increases the pandemic potential of a virus
