A blood stream infection with — could result in the release of endotoxin in to the bloodstream
Neisseria gonorrhea or Escherichia coli
Communicable disease are most easily transmitted during the:
period of illness
Enterotoxins affect cells in the:
gastrointestinal tract
Neurotoxins are produced by
Clostridium botulinum and Clostridum tetani
The following bacteria can be cause of septic shock
Neisseria meningitids, Escherichia coli, Haemphilus influenzae
Can cause toxic shock syndrome
Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pypgenes
Produces both a cytotoxn and an enterotoxin
Clostridium difficile
Virulence factors enable(s) bacteria to attach to tissues
pili
Virulence factors enables(s) bacteria to avoid phagocytosis by white blood cells
capsule
The following would be considered an aspect of microbial antagonism
production of bacteriocins, competition for space, competition for nutrients
Primary purpose of the inflammatory response
To neutralize any toxins being produced at the site, localize the infection, prevent the spread of microbial invaders
