MICROORGANISMS AND DISEASE QUIZ

Diphtheria toxin and edema toxin are ADP ribosylating toxins

Both organisms are gram-positive spore formers

Both organisms cause skin and respiratory tract infections

The most serious disease symptoms are the direct result of toxin action

Shigella dysentery

Botulism

Tuberculosis

Diphtheria

Small pox

Poliomyelitis

Yellow fever

Measles

A limited number of capsule types

The ability of monkey Rotavirus strains to cause serious illness (diarrhea) in human beings

The possession of a segmented RNA genome

The ability of the Rotavirus to be transmitted faster

ADP ribosylation of a G protein that locks it into an active form that stimulates adenylate cyclase to make cAMP

ADP ribosylation of guanylate cyclase that stimulates production of cGMP

ADP ribosylation of adenylate cyclase that stops production of cAMP

cleavage of rRNA that results in disruption of ribosome function

mutations in the viral hemagglutinin may allow the virus to evade the immune response elicited by previous vaccines

None of these

it is a polysaccharide vaccine that does not confer long-term protection

the vaccine is sufficiently toxic to make it necessary to administer only a small amount at any one time

Diphtheria

Botulism

Shigellosis

Tetanus

secrete LT (heat labile toxin) and ST (heat stable toxin) into the lumen of the intestine

activate T cells to proliferate and secrete cytokines

survive the acid pH of the stomach

survive within macrophages

kill viruses

interfere with physiological processes in the body

All of these

encourage bacterial reproduction

infected implants usually have to be surgically removed

phagocytes have trouble engulfing bacteria embedded in a biofilm

phagocytes have trouble moving on the plastic surface

All of these
