As we continue to polish up our skills when it comes to microbiology in preparation for the main exam, I have prepared a set of prep questions to help you meet the marks that you desire in the finals. Think that you can handle it? Take this first quiz and get to show us what you recall from class as we remind you of others. Best of luck!
Patient A
Patient C
Patients A and C
Patient B
Several people become infected with Listeria after consuming contaminated ice cream
Tuberculosis is spread from one person to another after travelling through the air for several meters
Vacationers develop shigellosis, caused by the intestinal pathogen Shigella sp., after drinking contaminated water
A person develops plague from a flea bite
A person drinks from a cup used by another individual
Subunit vaccine
Conjugated vaccine
Toxoid
Attenuated whole agent vaccine
Opsonization
Phagocytosis
Lysis of the red blood cells
Agglutination of the red blood cells
A more severe disease will result
Pathogens cannot enter by alternate routes
A milder disease will result
A different disease of the same severity will result
Zygomycota
Deuteromycota
Anamorph
Basidiomycota
Ascomycota
Agglutination
Neutralization
Opsonization
Lysis
Pain
Redness
Swelling
Vasodilation
None of the above
Find someone who has been bitten
Vaccinate a cow
Get antibodies from a puff adder
Require other bacteria to help them
Are intracellular parasites
Are gram-negative
Lack cell walls
Incubation period
Period of decline
Period of illness
Prodromal period
Period of convalescence
The burst time is shortened
The host cell lyses, releasing new virions
Phage DNA is inserted into the host chromosome
New phage DNA is synthesized
No attachment occurs
Proteins from an mRNA template
DNA from an RNA template
MRNA from a DNA template
MRNA from an RNA template
Neutrophils
Erythrocytes
Lymphocytes
Bacteria
Fibrinolysin
Hemolysin
Hyaluronidase
Collagenase
Pinworm : complete digestive system
Roundworm : complete digestive system
Tapeworm : no digestive system
Hookworm : incomplete digestive system
Fluke : incomplete digestive system
Have prokaryotic cells
Form filaments
Produce conidiospores
Can cause disease
Togaviridae
Herpesviridae
Picornaviridae
Retroviridae
Rhabdoviridae
Toxins
The helminth eating its host
The parasite eating the host's food
The presence of the parasite
Most viral particles can infect cells without inducing cancer
Cancer may not develop until long after infection
Cancers do not seem to be contagious
Viruses are difficult to observe
All of the above.
The numer of people in a population who are infected by a certain pathogen
The degree or intensity of pathogenicity
A pathogen that has lost its ability to produce disease
Pathogens that only infect people with a repressed immune system
Pathogens that are spread through the soil
Resists phagocytosis
Is an endotoxin
Destroys host tissues
Interferes with physiological processes
Has no effect; since many pathogens do not have capsules, capsules do not contribute to virulence.
ID50
Leukocidins
Haemolysins
