Virulence Factors:

There are two classes of bacterial exotoxins that are based on their target. Identify the two classes of exotoxin and the target for each. (1/2 pt. ea.; 2 pts. Total)

Type of Exotoxin                                              Target

Other than exotoxins, name two virulence factors associated with bacterial pathogens. (½ pt. ea.; 1 pts. Total)

Foodborne Disease:

Differentiate between the following types of foodborne disease in terms of (1/2 pt. ea.; 3 pts. Total):

i) what is ingested; ii) relative length of incubation period; iii) relative duration of period of illness. (NOTE: For answers ii) and iii), do NOT give specific number of hours, days, etc., but rather the relative length of time compared to each other.

Intoxication:

i)

ii)

iii)

Foodborne infection:

i)

ii)

iii)

Name two pathogens (Genus & species) for each of the two types of foodborne disease. (½ pt. ea.; 2 pts. Total)

Intoxication:

1.)

2.)

Foodborne infection:

1.)

2.)

Antibiotic Resistance:

What are the two things that mankind is doing that result in increasing levels of antibiotic resistance? (Answers should be one word each.) (1/2 pt. ea.; 1 pt. Total)

1.)

2.)

Penicillin, cephalosporin, monobactams, and carbapenums all belong to the same class of antibiotics, based on a common molecular structure in each. 1.) What is the name of this chemical structure?   2.) On the basis of this molecular structure, what is the name given to the class of enzymes that cleaves it? (Hint: The term is generic to all of these enzymes. Do not provide names that only apply to a single antibiotic.)   3.) Draw a picture of this structure and only this structure, and label each atom. (1/2 pt. ea.; 1 ½ pt. Total)

1.)

2.)

               

                3.)

Penicillin inhibits what metabolic process in susceptible bacterial cells? Be specific. (Hint: This is an example of one of the five ‘mechanisms of resistance,’ of certain bacteria against certain antibiotics. It also is the basis of the Ames Test, to determine potential chemical carcinogens.) (1 pt. Total)

Viruses:

Identify, in the correct order, the steps during the replication of an enveloped animal virus. (½ pt. ea.; 3 pts. Total)

Transfer of genes from one bacterium to another may be accomplished by incorrect assembly of bacteriophage that contain gene(s) from the original host bacterium. This process is known as what? One word answer. (1 pt. Total)

What are the three ‘Golden Rules’ of genetics that also apply to viruses? (1/2 pt. ea.; 1 ½ pt. Total)

1.)

2.)

               

                3.)

Immunity: Match the Immunological Process with the best description of the Type of Immunity elicited. Each Immunological Process can be used only one time, but the Type of Immunity may be associated with more than one Immunological Process. (1/2 pt. ea.; 3 pts. Total)

Type of Immunity

Immunological Process

          11. Artificially-acquired, Passive immunity

A. Complement Activation by Alternative Pathway

          12. Artificially-acquired, Active immunity

B. Infectious disease

          13. Naturally-acquired, Passive immunity

C. Transfer antibodies from another immune animal

          14. Naturally-acquired, Active immunity

D. Vaccination

           15. Non-specific immunity

E. Breastfeeding neonate

F. Phagocytosis of complement opsonized antigen

Virulence Factors

Two classes of exotoxins : Neurotoxins : Nerve cells

Enterotoxins : gastrointestinal linings.

Other virulence factors : Flagella, Surface proteins, Pili etc.

Food Borne Disease

Intoxication i) Food containing bacterial toxins or bacteria that secrete toxins later.

                 ii) One to Six hours

                iii) Lasts shorter, for about a 3 days to a week.

Food Borne Infection i) Ingesting food contaminated with bacteria.

                              ii) Usually longer, around 12 to 72 hours, much longer in some cases.

                             iii) Lasts longer for weeks sometimes if not treated

Pathogens : Intoxication : i) Salmonella enterica

                                     ii) Clostridium botulinm

               Food borne diseases : i) Campylobacter jejuni.

                                              ii) Cryptosporidium pavanum

What is the purpose of a selectable marker such as the antibiotic-resistance gene ampR? l. Selectable markers allow a researcher to identify cells that have incorporated the recombinant plasmid. ll. Selectable markers produce antibiotics, which kill cells that have not incorporated recombinant plasmid. lll. Selectable markers prevent cells that have incorporated one plasmid from incorporating another. lV. Selectable markers allow a researcher to identify the recombinant plasmid. V. Selectable markers are only effective in viral vectors.
