Question

Fill in each blank with the best word or phrase selected from the list below. Not all words or phrases will be used; each word or phrase can be used only once.

pathogenicity	antibiotic	narrow-spectrum	adhesion	bacteriostatic
bacteriocidal	antibody	penicillin	lysosome	vaccine
antigen	toxin	tropism	phagosome	broad-spectrum

The complete measure of a bacterium’s ability to infect and cause disease is called its ____________________.

Some of these bacteria are highly selective in terms of their host and even tissue ____________________

because of cellular ____________________ factors that have a specific host cell receptor. Once they

successfully colonize their host, some bacteria cause severe disease symptoms by making protein

____________________s that change host cell physiology, including essential functions like cytoplasmic

membrane integrity and translation. In order to prevent infectious diseases, we use ____________________s

that generate immunity prior to pathogen exposure while antibiotics are used to clear bacterial infections after

symptoms are observed. Bacterial proteins that build the cell wall peptidoglycan are targets of antibiotics like

____________________ that are ____________________ in a cell growth assay when they are associated with

cell lysis.

Answer 1

The complete measure of a bacterias ability to infect and cause diseases is called as pathogenecity.

Some of these bacterias are highly sel;ective in terms of their host and even tissues narrow spectrum antibiotic

Because of cellular adhesion factors that has a specific cell host receptor.once they successfully colonize their host some bacterias cause disease symptoms by making proteins.

Toxins that change host cell physiology including essential functions like cytoplasmic membrane integrity and translation.In order to prevent infectious diseases we use vaccines that generate immunity prior to pathogen exposure while antibiotics are used to clear bacterial infections after symptoms are observed.Bacterial proteins that build the cell wall peptidoglycans are are targets of antibiotics like pencillin that are bacteriostatic in a cell growth assay when they are associated awith cell lysis.
