Explain why many microbes do not cause disease while others do
For Mycobacterium tuberculosis
In this part, you will describe how the microbe interacts with other organisms and/or the non-living environment. Choose the most pertinent interactions for your microbe. For example, if your microbe is a human pathogen, focus on the interaction with human cells and the immune system. If your microbe is a nitrogen-fixer, focus on the interaction with other organisms via the nitrogen cycle.
aim for including at least 5 key points regarding the interactions and describe those points in detail
please write a new heading for each of your key points so that it's clear to me what the 5 points are
Explain why some bacteria are contagious but not
infectious. Give 3 examples.

- Very often, the invasion of hosts by pathogenic microbes leads to infections. Discuss the different means microorganisms use to enter and colonize a host.arrow_forwardDescribe several ways that the benefi cial qualities of microbes greatly outweigh their roles as infectious agents.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between adherence and colonization? Colonization occurs when transient microbes are on a tissue, whereas adherence is a more permanent attachment to cells. Colonization occurs when microbes begin to spread in host tissues, whereas adherence occurs when microbes first begin to reproduce in the host tissues. Colonization occurs when microbes begin to spread in host tissues, whereas adherence occurs when microbes initially attach. Colonization occurs when a microbe begins to grow in host tissues, whereas adherence occurs when the microbe initially attaches.arrow_forward
