Briefly state the role microorganisms play in each of the following: ▪ normal microbiota ▪ biological control of pests ▪ sewage treatment ▪ vaccine production ▪ human insulin production
Which of the following is NOT a true statement about microbial infections and disease? 1. Some infections are caused by normal microbiota acting as opportunistic pathogens 2. For some infections, a portion of infected people may never develop any signs or symptoms of disease 3. The time between the effective exposure and appearance of the very first signs or symptoms is called the incubation period 4. None of the other four answers (All are true statements) 5. All infectious diseases are communicable; i.e., they can be transmitted between hosts
Functionally, normal microbiota is beneficial to it's host organism and on the other hand, it may cause harm, How does this normal microbiota cause harm? Explain briefly but acurately
Explain mechanistically how a bacterium can be part of the normal microbiome and beneficial but also be pathogenic.
As an illustration, a patient undergoing a laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) procedure under general anesthesia might be happier not to know the numbers of portals of entry for potential transmission of pathogenic microbes to which she will be subjected. The anesthesia provider would be accessing the patients airway and vascular system by an IV line. Which portals of entry will the surgeon be accessing?
Microbes possess many different strategies to help them cause disease called virulence factors. Explain how two virulence factors work. For each virulence factor state the name of the mechanism, explain how it works and what advantage it gives the organism that helps it cause disease.
Propionibacterium acnes is a normal member of the skin microbiome that benefits the body by lowering the skin's pH- an antimicrobial effect. However, P. acnes is also the leading cause of acne. Explain mechanistically how a bacterium can be part of the normal microbiome and beneficial but also be pathogenic.
Nosocomial Infections: What Surfaces that they are mostly on? Which Equipments that carry the pathogens and possibly put the patient at risk?
All of the following are true of antibodies EXCEPT: Each individual antibody molecule is specific for more than one type of antigen They are made of proteins They are also called immunoglobulins They are produced in response to antigens They are produced by plasma cells

Clostridium difficile is a part of the normal intentinal microbiota. When multiple antibiotics are used to treat infections, C. difficile can overgrow and cause mild to life threatening symptoms. So C, difficile is considered? A virulent pathogen a hereditary pathogen resident pathogen opportunistic pathogen primary pathogen
Which of the following is mismatched? O Indirect contact transmission - person-to-person transmission of a microbe by physical contact between the persons None of the other four answers is mismatched (All are correctly matched) Systemic (generalized) infection - microbes or their products (e.g., toxins) spread throughout the body Endemic - disease is constantly present at some level in the population O Reservoir nonliving of infection - continual source of an infectious microbe, either living or
