Chapter 14, Problem 3TMW
Summary Introduction
To answer:
Why does every infection start with contamination but not every contamination results in an infection?
Introduction:
Infections are the biological event in which the pathogenic microbes adhere to the host and start to develop there. Infections are caused due to the poor maintenance and unsustainability. Pus formation in the wound and septicemia are the worst case of medical condition in humans which are caused by the infectious agents due to improper sustainability.

- Why is it incorrect to say that bacteria produce toxins to harm their host?arrow_forward2) A pure culture A) is sterile. B) is a population of identical cells. C) is made of a clearly defined chemical medium. D) contains one microbial cell.arrow_forwardWhy does one microbe cause disease, whereas another,closely related species is completely harmless?arrow_forward
- When heat treatment is used as to control microbial growth, what is the immediate impact of this increased temperature? The microbe's DNA is digested and the microbe can no longer reproduce. The microbe is unable to attach to host cells. The microbe is unable to synthesize and secrete toxins. The microbe's food is destroyed and the microbe is without a food source. The microbe's proteins are denatured and the membranes are disrupted.arrow_forwardIf someone is contaminated with a bacterium from the environment, are they guaranteed to develop a disease? O Yes, contamination precedes disease and only one microbe is needed for disease development. Yes, a contamination implies that the patient will develop an illness. O No, contamination is just the mere presence of microbes in or on the body. O No, only non-living surfaces may be contaminated.arrow_forwardMicrobial pathogenicity relates to A) O how a microbe overcomes host defenses B) O how a microbe survives in a host C) Ovirulence factors D) O toxins that may be produced by a microbe E) O pathogenicity relates to all of the abovearrow_forward
- Which of the following types of antimicrobial drugs make microbes more susceptible to osmotic pressure? 1) drugs that inhibit nucleic acid synthesis O 2) drugs that inhibit metabolic pathways 3) drugs that inhibit cell wall synthesis 4) drugs that block a pathogen's recognition of its host 5) drugs that inhibit protein synthesisarrow_forwardWe have learned terms like 'sterile,' 'commensal,' 'contaminants,' 'germs,' 'microorganisms,' and 'infection' over the last week and in the lab. Why is it important for a health care personnel to clean the surface of a patient's skin before drawing a blood sample? Why is it important for a health care personnel to change his gloves and sanitize his hands between patients?arrow_forwardUnlike a disinfectant, an antiseptica) sanitizes objects rather than sterilizes them.b) destroys all microorganisms.c) is non-toxic enough to be used on human skin.d) requires heat to be effective.e) can be used in food products.arrow_forward
- How do you observe growth in liquid microbiological media? a) the medium is cloudy or turbid b) colonies appear on the surface of the medium c) the medium becomes solid d) colonies appear distributes throughout the mediumarrow_forwardAll bacteria produce spores. a) Trueb) Falsearrow_forwardThe Petri Dish method is used in microbiology to raise bacteria in: a) rapid growth b) pure culture c) septic environment d) all of the above 2. What is the difference between antiseptic and sanitization?3. In order to prevent any kind of contamination the medium must be _________ before placing it in the Petri dish. a) lyophilized b) pasteurized c) autoclaved d) distillearrow_forward
