31
Q

LD50

A

lethal dose

32
Q

periods of disease

A

incubation
prodromal (general signs)
illness (severe symptoms)
decline
convalesence

33
Q

stages of pathogenicity (list)

A

exposure
adhesion
invasion
disease
transmission

34
Q

exposure

A

mode of transmission varies with portal of entry

35
Q

adhesion

A

capability of microbe to attach to cell
works with adhesins that bind to certain receptors on host and form biofilm

36
Q

bacteria adhesins

A

fibrae, capsules

37
Q

protozoa adhesin

A

cilia

38
Q

virus adhesins

A

capsid
spike proteins

39
Q

invasion

A

dissemination in local tissue using exoenzymes and toxins

40
Q

disease

A

successful multiplication

41
Q

local disease

A

small near entry port

42
Q

focal disease

A

spread to secondary location

43
Q

systemic disease

A

disseminated, lesions not at site of entry)

44
Q

transmission

A

required for success

45
Q

molecular koch posulates

A

-gene is pathogenic members of species
-inactivating/deleting gene decreases virulence
-reversion or allelic replacement can bring back pathogenicity

46
Q

how do pathogens damage

A

inject effectors and reprogram cell
enzymes distryo/affect tissue integrity
produce toxins

47
Q

exoenzymes

A

act as spreading (invading) factors

48
Q

intoxication

A

ingest toxin, rapid (1-12hrs)

49
Q

infection

A

bacteria, delayed (12-72hrs)

50
Q

endotoxins

A

part of bacterial structure
released by lysis

51
Q

exotoxins

A

secreted proteins

52
Q

type 1 toxin

A

target cell surface, superantigens

53
Q

type 2 toxin

A

target euk cell membrane, pore forming

54
Q

type 3 toxin

A

AB type toxin

55
Q

how do superantigens cause damage

A

entering blood stream, forming cytokine storm,

56
Q

what are membrane disrupting toxins, how do they work

A

kill host cells (phagocytes) and escape phagosome
1. form channel/pore, water rushes in lysing cell
2. attack phospholipids cleaving head

57
Q

functional subunits of AB toxin

A

A subunit-toxic enzymatic activity
B subunit- bind to receptor carries A
