| Virulence factor and MOA for: Tuberculosis |
|
Definition
| Facultative intracellular Virulence dependent on ability to survive and grow in host cells. Makes no toxins but when engulfed by macrophages, bacterial sulfolipids inhibit the fusion of phagocytic vesicles with lysosomes. MOA Inhibits fusion of phagosome/lysosome. |
|
|
Term
| Virulence factor and MOA for: Traveler’s diarrhea (ETEC) |
|
Definition
| Enterotoxins: 1. Heat stabile toxin (ST) --> causes increase in cellular cGMP. 2. Heat labile toxin (LT)- essentially identical to cholera toxin which --> causes increase in cellular cAMP MOA: Prolonged hypersecretion of chloride ions and water by the intestinal mucosal cells and inhibits the reabsorption of Naàhyperosmotic diarrhea |
|
|
Term
| Virulence factor and MOA for: Shigellosis |
|
Definition
| 1. Shiga toxin: inhibit protein synthesis by interfering with 60s (like EHEC). 2. Invasion of intestinal mucosa via actin polymerization --. Propel themselves |
|
|
Term
| Virulence factor and MOA for: Pseudomembranous colitis |
|
Definition
| 2 toxic polypeptides: 1. enterotoxin A: damages mucosa. 2. Cytotoxin B: kills the cells |
|
|
Term
| Virulence factor and MOA for: Meningococcal septic shock , (N. Meningitis) |
|
Definition
| LOS: Increased immune response --> cytokine storm |
|
|
Term
| Virulence factor and MOA for: Listeriosis |
|
Definition
| 1. Facultative intracellular: Escapes phagosome before lysosome/phagosome fusion. 2. Listeriolysin O hemolysin: Lyses phagocytic vacuoles/damages membranes |
|
|
Term
| Virulence factor and MOA for: Anthrax (B. Anthracis) |
|
Definition
| Virulence factors are: 1. Anthrax Toxin has both (A) – LF --- lethal factor and -- EF — edema factor as well as (B) - PA – protective Ag 2. Glutamic acid Capsule MOA of Virulence factor 1: anthrax toxin – increases intracellular cAMP --> severe edema (widened mediastinum, etc. ). MOA of virulence factor 2: antiphagocytic |
|
|
Term
| Virulence factor and MOA for: Hemolytic uremic syndrome (0157:H7)- EHEC |
|
Definition
| Shiga-like toxin (Verotoxin ): Inhibits protein synthesis by interfering with 60s ribosomes (like Shigella toxin) |
|
|
Term
| Virulence factor and MOA for: Bacillus cereus food poisoning |
|
Definition
| Virulence factors: 1. Emetic Heat Stabile enterotoxin and 2. Diarrheal Enterotoxin (heat labile). MOA for VF's: 1. causes nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, 2. increases cAMP |
