Select one: a. Fomites b. Water c. Droplet nuclei d. Aerosols e. Droplets Question 6 Question text The antibody-secreting progeny cells of a B-cell clone are called Select one: a. antibodies. b. sensitized T cells. c. activated macrophages. d. plasma cells. e. bursa cells. Question 7 Question text The method of removing vegetative microbial life forms and debris to reduce contamination to safe levels is termed ______. Select one: a. antisepsis b. disinfection c. sterilization d. decontamination e. sanitization Question 8 Question text Which of the following is not a structure used for bacterial adhesion? Select one: a. Fimbriae b. Surface proteins c. Specialized receptors d. Adhesive slime or capsules e. Cilia Question 9 Question text Why do researchers often include DNase in their antibiotic preparations to eliminate biofilms? Select one: a. The antibiotics cannot readily penetrate the extracellular debris, which often includes DNA from lysed cells. b. If the microbe's genome can be destroyed, the cell will die. c. Targeting the bacterial chromosome is the most effective way to kill biofilm bacteria. d. The antibiotics target the cell wall and the DNase targets the genome, effectively destroying the biofilm. Question 10 Question text During which response to the antigen do we display a latent period of no secretory antibody synthesis? Select one: a. Primary b. SecondaryTopic Question 11 Question text The difference between direct and indirect immunofluorescence testing is that Select one: a. Direct testing determines the identity of an unknown antigen in a patient sample, whereas indirect testing determines whether the patient has been exposed to an antigen as evidenced by the presence of antibodies in their sera. b. Indirect testing determines the identity of an unknown antigen in a patient sample, whereas direct testing determines whether the patient has been exposed to an antigen as evidenced by the presence of antibodies in their sera. c. Direct testing determines the identity of an unknown antibody in a patient sample, whereas indirect testing determines whether the patient is infected with a specific antigen. d. Direct testing adds antibodies directly to antigens, whereas indirect testing cultures the organisms first and adds fluorescent tags to the patient sample.

It cross-links proteins on cell surfaces. e. It inactivates endospores in 3 hours. Question 13 Question text Plasma cells Select one: a. secrete antibodies. b. function in allergic reactions. c. directly destroy target cells. d. suppress immune reactions. e. activate B cells and other T cells.

Select one: a. chemotaxis b. diapedesis c. motility d. vasodilation e. phagocytosis Question 15 Question text Penicillins and cephalosporins Select one: a. destroy peptidoglycan. b. are metabolic analogs of PABA and block folic acid synthesis. c. attach to the 30S ribosomal subunit and disrupt protein synthesis. d. damage cell membranes. e. block peptidases that cross-link glycan molecules.
