True/False: Mucosal surfaces and external epithelia are major routes of pathogenic infection. Mucosal surfaces are found in tissues such as the gastrointestinal tract, the reproductive tract and the mouth and respiratory tract. While the mouth and respiratory tract are routes of virus but not bacterial infections, the gastrointestinal tract is the route for bacterial but not virus infections.

Propionibacterium acnes is a normal member of the skin microbiome that benefits the body by lowering the skin's pH- an antimicrobial effect. However, P. acnes is also the leading cause of acne. Explain mechanistically how a bacterium can be part of the normal microbiome and beneficial but also be pathogenic.
What feature of the skin creates a physical barrier to microbial invasion? Group of answer choices The outer layers are composed of cells full of protein which forms NETs to trap microbes until they are shed. The surface is constantly patrolled by phagocytic cells. The outer layers are dead cells, tightly linked together, and are frequently shed. All of these mechanisms can provide defense against microbial invaders. The oil secreted onto the surface of the skin traps microbes, preventing penetration. The fine hairs move microbes to mucous membranes for phagocytosis.
