Some bacteria may produce proteolytic enzymes (molecules that break down proteins) to protect themselves against a defense mechanism in human hosts. This defense mechanism is antibody production fever O hydrochloric acid O siderophores

As the immune system increases fluids in a tissue resulting in swelling and increased mucus production during infection a bacteria will utilize to maintain themselves in a patient's tissue. Salmonella would utilize these to maintain themselves in the gastrointestinal tract and not be pushed out of the host by peristalsis. O Adhesins O Exoenzymes O Endotoxins O Exotoxins O None of the above apply

Vhich of the following does NOT describe a mechanism of antibiotic resistance among bacteria O enzymes to hydrolyze or chemically alter the antibiotics O efflux pumps Omutations in target moleclues so that antibiotics can no longer bind O increased synthesis of porins to increase antibiotic diffusion across membranes O cell wall diffusion barrier, e.g. Gram-negative outer membrane, ACid Fast cell wall of Mycobacterium Question 9 Bonus: You are treating a patient with inhalation anthrax with antibiotics. After 2 weeks of antibiotics, the patient seems greatly improved and you discharge the patient.

Detergents that are good micelle formers often have strongantibacterial properties. Considering the structure of thecell membrane, suggest a reason for this antibacterialaction.

Hydrolytic extracellular enzymes which  decompose recalcitrant SOM are typically secreted by which of the following microorganism? -algae -Cyanobacteria  -archea -fungi -Myxobacteria

Different types of bacteria are found inbiofilm. Bacteria with oxygen respiration are found at the surface, further down there are anaerobic bacteria.  Why is it that you find other bacteria that doesnt need oxygen

The anitbiotic penicillin is effective against bacteria by _____.     inhibiting the sunthesis of peptidoglycan     blockimng the adhesion of the capsule to the substrate     inhibiting the formation of fimbriae     blocking the operation of the proton pump     Interfering with conjugation

Microorganisms are involved in each of the following processes EXCEPT infection fog production decomposition of organic materials O food production oxygen production

Which structure protects bacteria from being phagocytized? O fimbriae cell membrane O capsule slime layer cell wall

Bacteria that require an atmosphere strictly of CO2 for growth is called:
