MICROORGANISMS AND DISEASE QUIZ

forms cAMP that leads to fluid accumulation

binds host cell receptors found on heart cells

lysis macrophages with the release of cytokines

cause ADP ribosylation of a factor involved in protein synthesis

The pathogen contains mycolic acid in its cell wall

Antibodies to the pathogen are protective

The pathogen can live inside macrophages

None of these

encourage bacterial reproduction

kill viruses

All of these

interfere with physiological processes in the body

myocarditis

muscular dystrophy

gastroenteritis

acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis

Diphtheria toxin and edema toxin are ADP ribosylating toxins

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

Both organisms cause skin and respiratory tract infections

Both organisms are gram-positive spore formers

lowering the pH

blocking sebum production

sequestering Iron

facilitating the growth of normal flora

Botulism

Shigella dysentery

Diphtheria

Tuberculosis

None of these

Interleukin 2

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)

Interferon gamma

ADP ribosylation of guanylate cyclase that stimulates production of cGMP

cleavage of rRNA that results in disruption of ribosome function

ADP ribosylation of adenylate cyclase that stops production of cAMP

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

protozoan

fungus

prion
