What are prions?
composed of modified host proteins
What are viruses?
Obligate intracellular organisms
Depend on host cell for replication
What are bacteriophages?
Viruses that only infect species specific bacteria
What are plasmids?
mobile genetic elements encoding virulence factors capable of being exchanged cell to cell via sexual conjugation
Bacteria
Prokaryotes without nuclei and ER
Gram Neg: Walls with peptidoglycan layer in between
Gram Pos: cell wall with peptidoglycan covering
What are chlamydiae?
Obligate intracellular pathogens causing GU infections and STDs
What are rickettsiae?
obligate intracellular pathogesn transmitted by insect vectors
What are mycoplasmas?
obligate intracellular pathogesn without peptidoglycan
What are the characteristics of fungi?
Thick cell walls
Hyphae with fruiting bodies (conidia)
What are protozoa
parasitic, single celled organisms with pliable plasma membranes and complex cytosolic organelles

arthropods like ticks
What are bacterial endotoxins?
LPS: structural componeent of outer cell wall in gram neg bacteria to activate immune response
What are bacterial exotoxins?

What are the 5 inflammatory responses to infection?
Suppurative Mononuclear/granulomatous Cytopathic/Cytoproliferative Necrotizing Chronic/Scarring
What is suppurative inflammation?
Caused by pyogenic bacteria
Leads to increased permeability and neutrophil recruitment and infiltration
What is mononuclear/granulomatous inflammation?
Diffuse mononuclear interstitial infiltrates
Lymphocytes and macrophages forming giant cells
What is cytopathic/cytoproliferative inflammation?
Rxns of virus mediated damage to individual host cells in absences of host inflammatory response
What is necrotizing inflammation
Rapid and severe tissue damage with cell death
