6. H. . influenzae causes disease by simply being in the environment and sparking inflammation through endotoxin

Explanation

H. influenzae is a bacterium that can cause various diseases, including respiratory tract infections, meningitis, and septicemia. It possesses endotoxins, which are molecules that can trigger inflammation in the body. When H. influenzae is present in the environment and enters the body, it can cause an immune response that leads to inflammation. Therefore, the statement that H. influenzae causes disease by simply being in the environment and sparking inflammation through endotoxin is true.

Submit
7. H. influenzae causes disease by simply being in the environment and sparking inflammation through endotoxin

Explanation

H. influenzae causes disease by simply being in the environment and sparking inflammation through endotoxin. This means that the mere presence of H. influenzae can lead to inflammation in the body, which can result in various diseases. Endotoxins are substances released by certain bacteria, including H. influenzae, that can trigger an inflammatory response in the host. Therefore, it is true that H. influenzae can cause disease by being in the environment and sparking inflammation through endotoxin.

Submit
8. What causes meningitis?

Explanation

Meningitis is caused by the encapsulated strain of H. influenzae. This bacterium has a protective capsule that allows it to evade the immune system and invade the meninges, which are the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Infection with the encapsulated strain of H. influenzae can lead to inflammation of the meninges, resulting in meningitis.

Submit
9. Which of the following are symptoms of C. botulinum?

Explanation

All of the listed symptoms, including double vision, dizziness, weakness, difficulty swallowing/speech, and respiratory failure/death, are symptoms associated with C. botulinum infection.

Submit
10. Secondary pneumonia is biggest threat of Whooping Cough

Explanation

The statement is true because secondary pneumonia is indeed the biggest threat of whooping cough. Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, is a highly contagious respiratory infection caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. It primarily affects the respiratory system and can cause severe coughing fits, difficulty breathing, and a characteristic "whooping" sound. While whooping cough itself can be dangerous, secondary pneumonia is a common complication that can occur as a result of the infection. Pneumonia is a serious condition that can lead to further complications and even death, particularly in infants, young children, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Therefore, secondary pneumonia poses a significant threat in cases of whooping cough.

Submit
11. The anthrax capsule is composed of glutamic acid.

Explanation

The anthrax capsule is composed of glutamic acid. This statement is true. Glutamic acid is a key component of the anthrax capsule, which is a protective layer surrounding the anthrax bacteria. The capsule helps the bacteria evade the immune system and survive in the host's body. By understanding the composition of the anthrax capsule, researchers can develop strategies to target and disrupt its formation, potentially leading to new treatments or preventive measures against anthrax infection.

Submit
12. Which of the following are environmental niches that gram-negative bacilli occupy?

Explanation

Gram-negative bacilli are a diverse group of bacteria that can occupy various environmental niches. They are commonly found in the intestines, where they play a role in digestion and nutrient absorption. Additionally, they can colonize the respiratory tract, causing infections such as pneumonia. Gram-negative bacilli are also present in soil and water, where they contribute to the decomposition of organic matter and nutrient cycling. Therefore, the correct answer is "all of the above" as gram-negative bacilli can be found in intestines, respiratory tract, soil, and water.

Submit
13. All gram negative coccobacilli affect both animals and humans equally.

Explanation

They differe in Their ability to infect animals as well as humans

Submit
14. What are primarily caused by unencapsulated strains of H. influenzae?

Explanation

Unencapsulated strains of H. influenzae primarily cause local respiratory tract infections. These infections occur in the respiratory tract, such as the nose and throat, and can lead to symptoms like a sore throat, runny nose, and cough. Meningitis, systemic infections, and whooping cough are caused by other factors or pathogens, not specifically unencapsulated strains of H. influenzae.

Submit
15. Which infection is a Systemic infection caused by H. influenza?

Explanation

Meningitis is a systemic infection caused by H. influenza. It is an inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. H. influenza is one of the common bacteria that can cause meningitis, especially in young children. Symptoms of meningitis include severe headache, fever, stiff neck, and sensitivity to light. If left untreated, meningitis can be life-threatening. Therefore, it is important to diagnose and treat it promptly.

Submit
16. With B. pertussis the cells must die and release their toxins to cause the symptoms of the disease

Explanation

The statement is true because B. pertussis, the bacterium that causes whooping cough, produces toxins that are released when infected cells die. These toxins are responsible for the symptoms of the disease, such as severe coughing fits, difficulty breathing, and the characteristic "whooping" sound. Therefore, for the symptoms to occur, the cells must die and release the toxins.

Submit
17. For which gram-negative bacilli is a protective antibody against the capsule the key?

Explanation

A protective antibody against the capsule is key for H. influenzae. The capsule of H. influenzae is a major virulence factor that helps the bacteria evade host immune responses. Antibodies against the capsule can neutralize the bacteria and prevent infection.

40. Which of the following is NOT a gram-negative bacilli?

Explanation

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative bacilli, so it is not the correct answer. Haemophilus influenzae, Bordetella pertussis, Francisella tularemia, and Pasturella multocida are all gram-negative bacilli.

Submit
41. What is the main difference in virulence factors between bordetella pertussis and H. influenzae?

Explanation

Bordetella pertussis produces exotoxins, which are toxic substances secreted by the bacteria that can damage host cells and tissues. These exotoxins play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of pertussis (whooping cough) by causing damage to the respiratory tract and impairing the immune response. On the other hand, the main difference in virulence factors with H. influenzae is that B. pertussis does not have fimbrae or endotoxins. Fimbrae are hair-like structures that allow bacteria to attach to host cells, while endotoxins are lipopolysaccharides found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria that can cause inflammation and other harmful effects.

Submit
42. Which of the following are not an exotoxin produced by B. pertussis?

Explanation

The correct answer is "pore-forming exotoxin." This is because all the other options listed (Pertussis toxin, Adenylate Cyclase Toxin, dermonecrotic Toxin, and tracheal cytotoxin) are exotoxins produced by B. pertussis. Exotoxins are proteins secreted by bacteria that can cause damage to host cells. Pore-forming exotoxins, on the other hand, create pores in the host cell membrane, leading to cell lysis.

Submit
43. Which Clinical syndrome of Franciscella tularensis is caused by the ingestion of contaminated meat or water?

Explanation

The clinical syndrome of Franciscella tularensis caused by the ingestion of contaminated meat or water is typhoidal. This form of tularemia is characterized by symptoms such as high fever, headache, body aches, and gastrointestinal symptoms. It can also involve the lymph nodes, liver, and spleen. Unlike other forms of tularemia, the typhoidal form does not typically present with ulceration or involvement of the eyes or lungs.

Submit
44. Which of the following statements about diphtheria toxin is not true?

Explanation

The given answer is correct because all of the statements about diphtheria toxin are true. Diphtheria toxin is an enzyme that removes the ADP-ribose from NAD+ and transfers it to Elongation Factor II, making it an ADP-ribosylating exotoxin. This action of the toxin stops protein synthesis in the mammalian host cell, leading to the death of the host cell. Therefore, all of the above statements are true.

Submit
45. Which stage of the Whooping Cough is the MOST contagious stage?

Explanation

i. This is the MOST contagious stage since many bacteria still alive in respiratory tract and all the coughing and sneezing spread live bacteria easily to other children

Submit
46. Which of the following is not true in regards to Enteritis (enteric fever/diarrhea)?

there is an increase in cAMP. Increased cAMP causes loss of water from cells giving rise to watery diarrhea, fever, cramps

Submit
47. Which of the following is NOT one of the best drugs active against almost 100 percent of H. influenzae strains?

Explanation

Ampicillin is not one of the best drugs active against almost 100 percent of H. influenzae strains. This is because H. influenzae has developed resistance to ampicillin over time, making it less effective against the bacteria. Therefore, while azithromycin, fluoroquinolones, and cephalosporin are all effective drugs against H. influenzae, ampicillin is not.

Submit
48. Which of the following contaminates food and can withstand short periods of heating causing an entertoxin-mediated food poisoning?

Explanation

Bacillus food poisoning usually occurs because heat-resistant endospores survive cooking or pasteurization and then germinate and multiply when the food is inadequately refrigerated.

Submit
49. W hich of the following is not used in the prevention of disease caused by Brucella species?

Explanation

just a note: Tetracycline is the drug of choice when treating the disease

Submit
50. Which antibiotic is very effective in treating Pasteurella multocida?

Submit
62. What is the only G+ with an endotoxin?

Explanation

Listeria monocytogenes is the only G+ bacterium with an endotoxin. Endotoxins are lipopolysaccharides found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, but Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive bacterium. However, it possesses a unique lipoteichoic acid that acts as an endotoxin-like molecule, allowing it to induce similar immune responses as endotoxins. Therefore, among the given options, Listeria monocytogenes is the only G+ bacterium that exhibits endotoxin-like properties.

Submit
63. Which virluence factor produced by H. influenzae helps respiratory tract colonization by blocking cilia clearance and Induces inflammation at site of infection

Explanation

Endotoxin is a virulence factor produced by H. influenzae that helps respiratory tract colonization by blocking cilia clearance and inducing inflammation at the site of infection. Endotoxin is a component of the bacterial cell wall and is released when the bacteria are damaged or destroyed. It activates the immune system and triggers an inflammatory response, leading to the recruitment of immune cells to the site of infection. This inflammation can impair the function of cilia, which are hair-like structures that help to clear mucus and debris from the respiratory tract, allowing the bacteria to colonize and persist in the respiratory tract.

Submit
64. Which Clinical syndrome of Franciscella tularensis is the most common?

Explanation

You see an ulcer at the site of inoculation, is commonly seen in hunters that kill rabbits and skin them. This would be the form seen from insect bite as well
