Portage Biod 101 Module 6 Already Passed

Perforins {Ans: toxic proteins that form pores in surface of infected host and induce apoptosis}eosinophils {Ans: found in high concentration in tissues, respond to parasitic infections and also involved in allergic and inflammatory responses}Bacilli {Ans: bacteria with a rod shape}Diplococci {Ans: two cocci cells paired together}epitope {Ans: small section of an antigen taken from a pathogen and presented to adaptive cell; if recognition occurs, an adaptive immune response is generated}capsule {Ans: sticky outer layer of bacteria, provides mechanism of adhesion to host cells or other bacteria}Cytotoxic T cells {Ans: produce toxic proteins that directly kill infected host cells}Interferons {Ans: cytokine proteins secreted in response to a viral pathogen; cell signaling molecules}cell mediated responses {Ans: involve T cells}virulence factors {Ans: agents used by a pathogen to colonize a host}penicillin binding proteins {Ans: enzymes necessary for synthesizing peptidoglycan wall. Carbapenems bind to it and block synthesis of the cell wall, causing pathogen to undergo autolysis}leucocidins {Ans: protein toxins that destroy white blood cells}Gram negative bacteria {Ans: bacteria with a thin peptidoglycan layer surrounded by an additional outer membrane made of lipopolysaccharides, appears red or pink with gram-staining}visible symptoms of
