- Why does Helicobacter pylori cause ulceractions in the lining of the Stomach? 1)The microbes secrete a toxin that prevents the host from detecting invasion of the microbe and thus allows it to thrive in the stomach and damage the host cells. 2)After invasion of the microbe in the cells lining the stomach, they are no longer able to produce mucous to protect the host cells from acid erosion 3)The microbe produces an enzyme that causes the cell to produce potent digestive enzymes that erode the stomach lining. 4)Once the microbe has entered the stomach, it releases digestive enzymes that degrade the mucous secreting cells.arrow_forwardAll of the following are true of Legionnaires’ disease excepta) the causative organism can grow inside protozoa.b) it spreads readily from person to person.c) it is more likely to occur in long-term cigarette smokers than in nonsmokers.d) it is often associated with diarrhea or other intestinal symptoms.e) it can be contracted from household water supplies.arrow_forwardWhich of these statements about tularemia is false?a) It can be contracted from muskrats and bobcats.b) Biting insects and ticks can transmit the disease.c) The causative organism has growth requirements similar to those of E. coli.d) A steep-walled ulcer at the site of entry of the bacteria andenlargement of nearby lymph nodes is characteristic.e) It can be treated effectively with antibiotics.arrow_forward
