This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Core II Exam Bacterias, diptheria doesn't provide protective immunity because toxin conc too low to build imm/Ab response, GU associated with Corynebacterium diphtheriae, virulence factors diff types detox enzyme catalase (anaerobes), bacilli obligate anaerobe Pseudomonas aeroginosa, intracellr bacteria know Chlamydia trachomatis, bacteria Gram test negative spirochetes Leptospira Borrelia, diptheria treatment antitoxin available, Listeria monocytogenes virulence factor listerolysin (LLO) non-sporulating, diptheria treatment antibiotics erythromycin pen G immunization, bacilli aerobes Bacillus anthracis Listeria monocytogenes Corynebacterium diptheria, Corynebacterium diphtheriae char non-sporulating non-motile club-shaped angular clusters V's, Y's, W's, Gram+ bacilli aerobes Bacillus anthracis Bacillus cereus, listeriosis: clinical manisfestation are host-dependent elderly sepsis and meningitis, GI associated with Bacillus anthracis Bacillus cereus, listeriosis: clinical manisfestation are host-dependent char usu food-related recently: milk/meat contam. cheeses, imm sys avoidance e.g. capsule Ig binding protein imm sys mimics/decoys of host cytokines, exotoxins secreted true toxins diff types binary toxins, Listeria monocytogenes char intracelluar infection: hides in cell, imm sys does not see, virulence factors diff types exoenzymes secreted to break down &feed, Corynebacterium diphtheriae virulent strains produce diptheria exotoxin (binary) not reqd for survival
