Chapter 25.2, Problem 1MQ
Summary Introduction
Adherence is the process by which a particular disease causing microorganism attaches to the host surface with the aid of several adherence structures in the form capsules, fimbriae, and pili. Colonization refers to growth and development of the pathogen after the process of adherence. A congenial environment is provided by the host for growth and development of the pathogen.

- How does a latent infection differ from a chronic infection?arrow_forwardPathogenic infections induce damage to the host by a variety of mechanisms. While many mechanisms are direct effects of the pathogen, some damaging mechanisms result from the immune response to the infection. Examples of damage caused by the host immune response are: a) Exotoxin production, endotoxin b) Cell-mediated inmunity, direct cytopathic effect c) Endotoxin, inmmunune complexes d) Direct cythopathic effect, endotoxin e) Cell-mediated inmunity, inmmunune complexesarrow_forwarddifferentiate desease from infection. differentiate virulence from pathogenicity.arrow_forward
- What are three mechanisms pathogens use to block the immune system?arrow_forwardNormal microbiota provide protection from infection in each of the following ways EXCEPT: Question 3 options: A) they produce antibacterial chemicals. B) they compete with pathogens for nutrients. C) they make the chemical environment unsuitable for nonresident bacteria. D) they produce lysozyme.arrow_forwardWhich of your body’s nonspecific host defenses would help fight a pathogen entering your body through each of the following portals?
