In certain bacterial illnesses, particularly lung
infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a
physician may not treat the patient with antibiotics
(which will kill the microorganisms), rather give the
patient anti-inflammatory medications.
1. Why might a physician choose to inhibit inflammation in
the case of an infection?
2. What types of damage might the inflammatory response
do to the surrounding tissues, not just the bacteria it was
designed to combat?
3. We talked a lot about controlling the complement cascade
because of its potentially damaging effects, what are
some of the ways the body can control inflammation and
the inflammatory response?
Which of the following structures is an example of a pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)?
A.
bacterial lipopolysaccharide
B.
bacterial flagellin (flagellum) protein
fungal DNA molecule
D.
viral capsid protein
