Q

Bacterial rhinosinusitis
H. influenzae
1. Virulence factor
2. How it promotes virulence

A
  1. Capsule
    If non typeable: lipooligosaccharide (LOS)
  2. LOS helps bind to nonciliated epithelial cells

Q

Rhinocerebral mucormycosis
Rhizopus and Rhizomucor
1. Virulence factor
2. How it promotes virulence

A
  1. Fungal spores
  2. Spores germinate and hyphae penetrate host tissue and clog vessels. Necrosis results. IC host can’t phagocytize spores fast enough

Q

Pharyngitis
S. pyogenes
1. Virulence factor
2. How it promotes virulence

A
  1. Hyaluronic acid capsule and M protein

2. Both prevent WBC phagocytosis

Q

Scarlet fever
S. pyogenes
1. Virulence factor
2. How it promotes virulence

A
  1. Streptococcal Pyogenic exotoxin A-C (Spe A-C, erythrogenic toxin A-C)
  2. Spe A-C can cause damage to capillary walls in skin - causing rash. Also are super antigens that cause overstimulation of immune cells and streptococcal toxic shock syndrome

Q

Rheumatic heart disease following pharyngitis
S. pyogenes
1. Virulence factor
2. How it promotes virulence

A
  1. M protein
  2. Antigenic and causes host cells to make antibodies that react with M proteins but also with host proteins on the surface of the heart valves

1. Virulence factor
2. How it promotes virulence

A
  1. Diphtheria toxin

2. ADP ribosylation if host cell elongation factor II stopping protein production and causing cell death

Q

Bronchiolitis
RSV
1. Host receptor
2. How it promotes virulence

A
  1. CXCR1 on ciliated human airway epithelial cells OR heparin sulfate on immortalized tissue culture cells
  2. Allows virus to bind and then infect

Q

Influenza
Influenza virus A
1. Virulence factor
2. How it promotes virulence

A
  1. Hemagglutinin and neuroaminidase

2. Hemagglutinin helps binding. Neuraminidase helps virus escape host cells

Q

Whooping cough
Bordetella pertussis
1. Virulence factor
2. How it promotes virulence

A
  1. Filamentous hemagglutinin, cytotoxin, pertussis toxin
  2. FH: attachment to ciliated epithelial cells
    Cytotoxin: cell death of cells that line trachea
    Pertussis toxin: causes nearly ALL of the cell damage of the trachea by ADP ribosylating guanine-nucleotide-binding protein (G protein)

Viruses and Chlamydia bacteria species
1. Virulence factor
2. How it promotes virulence

A
  1. Invade and live in alveolar macrophages and other cells of the lungs
  2. Avoid elimination, harder to detect

Q

Pneumonia
M. tuberculosis
1. Virulence factor
2. How it promotes virulence

A
  1. Can survive in phagocytes even AFTER being phagocytized

2. Can live and multiply

17
Q

Pneumonia in pts with CP
P. aeruginosa
1. Virulence factor
2. How it promotes virulence

A
  1. Alginate production
  2. An exopolysaccharide that allows it to bind to host cells. Part of the matrix surrounding the biofilm that forms in the pts lungs. Biofilm protects from phagocytosis
