micro Flashcards
conjugation
fucking, sexpillus.
flacking chromosomal genes
transformation
cannibalism, adding deoxyribonuclease degrades
transduction
generalized: packaging error. lytic phage infects bacterium, leading to cleavage of the cell
specilized: excision event. lysogenic phage infects bacterium, viral DNA incorperates into bacterium
transposition
a jumping process involving a transposon. multiple drug resistance
which bacteria have similar mech. of action
diphteria and pseudomonas
disphteria mech. of action
diphteria toxin, inactivates EF-2
pseudomonas mech. of action
Exotoxin, inactivates EF-2
which mech. of action is simillar to shigella?
EHEC, shiga-like, shiga toxin (shigella) inactvates 60S ribosames by removing adenine from rRNA
Shigella mech. of action
Shiga toxin, 60S, adenine, GI mucosa damage—>dysentry, ST also enhances cytokine release, causing HUS
EHEC mech. of action
Shiga-like toxin, 60S, adenine, enhances cytokine release, causing HUS
ETEC mech. of action
HT—–> increase in cAMP,HS——> increase cGMP
B.Cerus mech. of action
ADP-Ribosylation activation Gs
B. anthracis
edema factor
Anti-HBs
means immunity. If a person has Anti-HBs without Anti-HBc means person was vaccinated
Anti-HBc
person was infected
