Mod 9 micropara lec Flashcards
require to acquire or cause the disease of 50% inoculated test animals
Infectious dose 50%
pathogens enter the g.i tract at one end and exit at the other end
fecal-oral disease
helps resist digestion after phagocytosis
Waxes (mycolic acid)
contain powerful hydrolytic enzymes that cause tissue damage
lysosomes
degree pathogenicity
virulence
with few or no obvious symptoms
subclinical infection
not transmitted from one person to another
non communicable disease
cell wall of mycobacterium tuberculosis
Waxes (mycolic acid)
ability to cause disease
pathogenicity
5,000 to 10,000 spores
inhalation anthrax
infection with obvious/observable detectable symptoms (symptomatic)
clinical infection
attacks certain wbc
leukocidins
inflammation in tonsil
tonsilitis
outermembrane proteins that mediates bacterial adherence to host cell receptor
adhesins
entrance through contaminated food water finger & hands
GI. tract
blood clot protects bacteria from phagocytosis
coagulase
10 cells only
Enterohemorrhagic escherichia coli
It is cause by the presence or growth of infectious microorganisms or parasites
infectious disease
bacterial cell surface function in attachment process
fimbriae & pili
study of transmission of disease
epidemiology
mucus membrane that cover eyeball and lines the eyelid
conjunctiva
inflammation of the heart chambers
endocarditis
mediates attachment and helps resist phagocytosis
M protein
infection caused by microorganisms from the host’s environment
opportunistic infection
a microbe’s toxin that will kill 50% experimentally inoculated animal
lethal dose 50%
releases & ruptures lysosomes
Leukocidins
Present in a group of person or geographic area
endemic disease
Can be transferred from one person to another
Communicable disease
microbes inhaled into mouth or nose in droplets of moisture or dust particles
respiratory tract
source of infectious agent
Reservoir of infection
common disease contracted via respiratory tract (eye disease)
trachoma - chlamydia trachomatis
100,000,000 cells
vibrio cholerae
cell component that is heat & acid resistant
M protein
Can multiply inside WBC
Waxes (mycolic acid)
causes lysis of RBC
Hemolysins
presence of infectious fungus
fungemia
Greater than usual percentage of specific population
Epidemic Disease
Outbreak that affects one or more population
Epidemic disease
kills wbc to prevent phagocytosis
Leukocidins
all pathogens have means to attach to host tissue
adherence
do not secrete hemolysin
gamma
The one who carries the infectious agent w/o manifesting the symptoms, yet can transmit the agent to another individual
Carrier
prevent phagocytosis
capsule
causes complete lysis
beta
