Document Summary
Why is the surface of the epidermis microbe free except for the occasional transient: what glands are responsible to harboring microbes that cause body odor, list the 4 most commonly found microbial genera resident of the skin. During the lifetime of a human female when would lactobacillus acidophilus expect to be resident of the vagina: some medications like birth control pills raise the ph of the vagina. How do these cells help prevent microbes from reaching the lower respiratory tract: smoking damages the ciliated epithelium of the respiratory tract. Is microbial colonization dependent on location in the body: what type of virulence factors are siderophores, distinguish between localized and systemic bacterial infection. Which would be easier to treat with antibiotics: is bacteremia a localized or systemic infection, adherence, invasion, colonization are the steps describing infection. Is an attenuated strain still deadly: viruses and bacteria can be attenuated.
