20
Q

What type of antibiotic is clarithromycin?

A

Macrolide

21
Q

Where would a murmur be heard affecting the tri-cupsid valve endocarditis?

A

Systolic murmur in the left lower sternal border
(regurgitation as valves are less competent)

22
Q

What are HIV patients vulnerable to causing pneumonia?

A

Pneumocystis jiroveci

23
Q

What causes the low haemoglobin in malaria?

A

Merozoites (daughter parasites)

24
Q

What is an important virulence factor for E.coli causing a UTI?

A

Adhesions on fimbria

25
Q

Oseltamivir (tamiflu) MoA?

A

Blocks emergence of influenza virus from the infected cell

26
Q

What is an example of indirect transmission?

A

Mosquito acting as a VECTOR in malaria

27
Q

Define a ‘hospital acquired infection’.

A

An infection acquired within 48 hrs of admission or 48 hrs post discharge of hospital care

28
Q

What’s the stages of biofilm production?

A
  1. Bacteria adopt a spore-like state (planktonic phase) due to limited nutrients available
  2. Bacteria attach to a suitable surface, multiply and form an extracellular matrix
  3. Bacteria now able to communicate with each other to send signals to each other and nutrients to diffuse to each other
29
Q

What is Quorum sensing?

A

Modulation in gene expression in response to cell population density

30
Q

What type of barrier to infection is coughing?

A

Physiological barrier

31
Q

What do phagocytes have to allow them to recognise microbes?

A

Pathogen recognition receptors (PPRs)

32
Q

What are the features of innate immunity?

A
  • Physical barriers like the skin, cilia and mucous membranes
  • Physiological barriers like coughing, vomiting and diarrhoea
  • Chemical barriers like stomach acid
  • Biological barriers like the normal flora of the body
33
Q

What parts of the compliment system recruit phagocytes?

A

C3a and C5a

34
Q

What part of the microbe does the PRR recognise?

A

PAMP (pathogen-assocaited molecular pattern)

35
Q

Which cell plays a major role in allergic reactions?

A

Mast cells

36
Q

What could happen to a T cell that has been activated by MHC class II?

A

Activate neutrophils

Activate mast cells

37
Q

What is the function of Erythromycin?

A

Inhibits cell wall synthesis

38
Q

What does bacteriostatic mean?

A

Slows the growth and replication of bacteria but doesn’t kill it
