MICB 202 Study Guide - Opportunistic Infection, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, Human Microbiota
Document Summary
6 case studies: to go pick chilled strawberries and bananas. Bacterial diseases: tuberculosis, gonorrhea - maia, pneumonia - alpha, cholera - tft, salmonella - lactic, bordetella palate. Mutualism body and normal flora benefit from symbiosis. Commensalism symbiotic relationship beneficial only to normal flora. Host and normal flora relationship outcomes - placid. Colonize body and establish as normal flora. Establish infection in body and cause disease infection invasion of the body with a pathogenic microorganism. Disease damage done to the body impairing function. Strain bacteria colony descending from one cell. Pathogenicity of microorganism ability of pathogen to cause disease resistance/susceptibility of host adaptive and innate immune responses: pathogenicity. Normal flora and opportunistic pathogens lack inherent ability to cause disease. Pathogen capable of causing harm to normal host. Opportunistic pathogen capable of causing harm to compromised host: virulence. Virulence measure of pathogenicity - # of cells needed to induce a pathogenic response within a certain period of time.
