Microbiology FINAL Review-Jersey College Exam 1
(100% correct and graded A+)
(18) Symptoms of endocarditis - ANSWER Fever and chills, weight loss, muscle
ache
(18) Septicemia - ANSWER The toxic condition caused by the multiplication of
bacteria in the blood.
(18) Microbemia - ANSWER In infection caused by a microorganism entering the
circulatory system through lymphatic drainage.
(18) Strep throat - ANSWER Causes a rare, inflammatory disease called rheumatic
fever
(18) Examples of zoonotic diseases - ANSWER Brucellosis, undulant fever,
tularemia, rabbit fever
(18) Rabbit fever caused by which bacteria? - ANSWER Francisella tularensis
(18) Rocky Mountain spotted fever is caused by bacterium: - ANSWER Rickettsia
rickettsia
(18) Cytomegalovirus infections are caused by which human herpes virus? -
ANSWER Five
(18) Malaria is caused by a: - ANSWER Protozoan
(18) How is toxoplasmosis categorized? - ANSWER Protozoan
(18) Gangrene - ANSWER A complication of necrosis related to wounds
(18) Zoonotic - ANSWER Any infectious disease or infection that can be transmitted
from vertebrate animals to humans
(18) Bacteremia - ANSWER When bacteria are found in the blood
(18) Sepsis - ANSWER Toxic condition caused by the spread of bacteria or
bacterial toxins from the site of infection
(18) Trypanosoma Cruzi - ANSWER Cause of Chagas' disease
(18) Dry gangrene - ANSWER often occurs in persons with impaired peripheral
blood flow
(18) Internal gangrene (white gangrene) - ANSWER generally contracted after
surgery or trauma
, (18) Wet gangrene - ANSWER occurs in organs lined by mucous membranes such
as the mouth, lower intestinal tract, lungs, and cervix
(18) Gas gangrene - ANSWER caused by bacteria that produce gas within the
infected tissue. Toxins produced will cause necrosis; if untreated the condition is
fatal.
(18) Principles of Viral Hemorrhagic Fever (VHF) - ANSWER group of febrile
illnesses ranging in severity from relatively mild to life-threatening. Caused by four
distinct viral families: Arenaviridae, Filoviridae, Bunyaviridae, and Flaviviridae. All
VHFs characterized by fever, overall vascular system damage, and bleeding
disorders that can lead to high fever, shock, and death. Although distributed over
much of the world, many VHFs are present in geographically limited areas and risk
of infection is restricted to those areas.
(18) Systemic Mycosis - ANSWER fungal infections capable of affecting all internal
organs. Persons with a competent immune system may be asymptomatic or show
only minor symptoms. Immune-compromised patients (including persons with HIV,
cancer, or neutropenia, organ transplant recipients, patients recovering from
pancreatitis or splenectomy, those with diabetes, the very old, and the very young)
are at high risk for infection. Treatment may include adjusting immune-suppressing
medications or administering antifungal medications.
(18) Visceral leishmaniasis - ANSWER serious form; fatal if untreated.
(18) Cutaneous leishmaniasis - ANSWER common form; sore forms at fly-bite site;
long healing period (few months to a year).
(18) Diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis - ANSWER widespread skin lesions; difficult
to treat.
(18) Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis - ANSWER skin ulcers that spread and can
cause tissue damage to the nose and mouth.
(16) Who first observed microbes on the teeth? - ANSWER Van Leeuwenhoek
(16) What causes peptic ulcers? - ANSWER Helicobacter pylori
(16) What is another word for Bacillary dysentery? - ANSWER Shingellosis,
transmitted by fecal-oral route
(16) How many known forms of gastroenteritis is caused by E.Coli? - ANSWER
Five
(16) What causes Bacillus intoxication ? - ANSWER Bacillus cereus (food
poisoning ) caused by prepared foods held without adequate refrigeration for several
hours before serving.
