MCB-4403 : Microbiology Exam 3 Review
Document Summary
Elementary bodies bind and enter eukaryotic cell by phagocytosis: 2. Elementary body differentiates into reticulate body (rb: 3. Reticulate bodies differentiate to elementary bodies and form inclusions: 5. Infant botulism is infection by spores, follow by production of toxin in the digestive tract. Immunocompromised hosts: fungi, disease meningitis and meningoencephalitis, also, aids patients, starts in lungs, can lead to meningitis, cyclospora, cyclospora cayetanensis, oral/fecal transmission, rare to acquire in us, ebola. Intestinal parasite obligate: sporadic disease, major reservoir probably a bat bat contamination of fruits, systemic infection, blood-borne virus, zmapp: anti-ebola antibodies genes for humanized monoclonals transfected into plants for rapid production. Inhibition of hiv: reverse transcriptase inhibitor 3 major classes, nrtis (nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors, e. g. Abacivir (abc), azt (first anti-hiv drug approved for use in humans in 1987: ntrtis (nucleotide analog rt inhibitors, e. g. Tenofovir (aka tenofovir disoproxil fumarate or tdf: nnrtis (non-nucleoside rt inhibitors, e. g.
