2. a) Describe what is happening to a host during each of the periods of disease shown in the graph below. Number of pathogen particles (red) incubation prodromal period period Periods of Disease period of illness Time period of decline period of convalescence Severity of symptoms (blue) b) The above graph is very similar to the bacterial growth curve. Identify and describe the major difference in what's represented by the two graphs.

97. In an outbreak with attempted control measures of quarantine and massive antibiotic treatment for allidentified cases, some of the cases discontinued their antibiotic regimen as soon as they felt better and showedno symptoms anymore. Since they have no symptoms anymore, they were released from quarantine. Newcases were then reported among their previously uninfected household members. Which of the following mayexplain this scenario?A. The cases were all asymptomatic carriers and thus there was no need for antibiotic treatment.B. The cases who discontinued their antibiotic treatment may have another cycle of the disease.C. Those reported new cases may have been previously infected but manifested symptoms later.D. Those who discontinued their antibiotic treatment may have recovered but still harbor the agent.98. When analyzing the number of cases by time in an ongoing outbreak investigation, you noticed severalmodes in the epidemic curve with incubation periods that seem to overlap.…
Mention and Explain two (2) virulence factors of bacterial pathogens
What is the differencebetween the concepts ofepidemic disease and endemicdisease?
Clostridium difficile infection is the leading causeof hospital-associated gastrointestinal illness. It is typicallytreated with a course of antibiotics, but the infection recursin about 20% of cases. C. difficile infections are difficult toeradicate because the bacteria exist in two forms: a repli-cating, toxin-producing form and a spore form that is resis-tant to antibiotics. Fecal microbiota transplantation—thetransfer of normal gut microbiota from a healthy individ-ual—can resolve >90% of recurrent infections, a much bet-ter cure rate than further antibiotic treatment alone. Whydo you suppose microbiota transplantation is so effective?
Chronic infection and subclinical infection are contrasted.?
Is a viral infection treatedwith the same kind of drugthat treats bacterialinfections?
Name two methods of control of growth for Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogen in a patient with the disease and when confronted with the pathogen outside of the host. Be careful to specify if it is a physical method or a chemical method .Control of growth means how would you deal with an infection related to a person as well as how would you minimize the presence of the bacteria on a surface or object.
a. Why is it unlikely that diseases such as tetanus and botulism willever be completely eradicated?b. Name some bacterial diseases in this chapter that could becompletely eradicated and explain how.
1 - Define the term pathogen. a) Using MRSA, NOROVIRUS, ATHLETES FOOT and MALARIA as examples, identify the microorganisms (causal agent) involved in each disease. b)Provide some information on the microorganism for each disease e.g. structure C) Discuss 3 routes of entry that disease causing organisms use to enter the body.
Humans are accidental hosts in many vector-borne diseases. Whatdoes this indicate about the relationship between the vector and themicrobial agent?
Which is mismatched? 1) Secondary infection - infection acquired subsequent to a current infection O 2) Localized infection infection stays at or near the entry site O 3) Mixed infection - several agents established at infection site Focal infection - infection moving throughout the body, such as through the 4) bloodstream
Identify at least 2 bacterial cell structures that are associated with virulence and pathogenicity. Explain each.
