Both B and C. Abscesses and Food Poisoning - ANS-Staphyloccocus aureus is known
for causing which of the following:
Anaerobes, Aerobes - ANS-Organisms that are ____ must obtain their oxygen from
oxygen containing compounds, while ____ need free atmospheric oxygen.
False - Rarely transmitted via infected objects. - ANS-Gonorrhea is often transmitted via
infected objects because the organism Neisseria gonorrhea survives well outside the
body. True or False?
All of the above. - ANS-The anthrax bacillus can enter the body in which of the following
ways: Inhalation, wound contamination, ingestion, only A and B, all of the above?
True - ANS-The tetanus toxin is less potent than the botulinum toxin. True or False?
Obligate Aerobe - ANS-Must have free oxygen in order to develop.
Obligate Anaerobe - ANS-Can only exist in the absence of free oxygen - uses oxygen
containing compounds.
Facultative Aerobe - ANS-Prefers an environment with no oxygen, but may live in the
presence of oxygen - usually gets oxygen from oxygen-containing compounds, but ma
get it from free oxygen.
Facultative Anaerobe - ANS-PRefers an environment with oxygen, but may live without
it - usually gets oxygen from free oxygen, but can obtain it from oxygen-containing
compounds.
Goats, Cattle, Sheep - ANS-Coxiella Burnetti ; Etiological agent of Q Fever. Zoonotic
agent.
Parrots and Parakeets - ANS-Psittacosis (Chlamydia Psittaci); Zoonotic infection.
Transmitted by:
Domestic fowls and birds (chickens, turkeys, pigeons) - ANS-Ornithosis (Chlamdia
psittaci); Zoonotic Infection. Transmitted by:
, Bite of the louse (lice) - ANS-Epidemic Typhus (Rickettsia prowazekii; or typhus fever)
Transmitted by:
Bite of the Tick; Fever, rash, petecchial hemorrhage - ANS-Rocky Mountain Spotted
Fever (Rickettsia rickettsii) Transmitted by:
Flies transmit mechanically; fingers and fomites through the eyes - ANS-Trachoma
(Attacks the cells lining the cornea and conjunctiva) Transmitted by:
Rubeola - ANS-Which of the following dermatropic viruses has lacrimal secretions as a
portal of exit? Rubella, Rubeola, Variola, Vaccina.
False - ANS-Small pox is not a major concern to funeral directors because the dead are
NOT a source of infection.
Mouth -- Genital Tract - ANS-There are two types of herpes simplex virus: Type 1 that
enters the ____ and type 2 that enters the ____.
True - ANS-HCV is the only hepatitis virus without a vaccine. True or False?
Infectious Hepatitis (HAV) -- Serum Hepatitis - ANS-The Hepatitis A virus is also know
as ____ hepatitis, while HBV is also called ____ hepatitis.
Rabies - ANS-Which disease is associated with hydrophobia because the sight of water
may cause the throat muscles to spasm in infected patients?
Hantavirus, Viral encephalitis, Rabies, Cow pox or CMV
Viral Encephalitis - ANS-Which zoonotic infection has a vaccine for horses, but not for
humans?
Rabies, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Cow Pox, Viral Encephalitis or Small Pox?
True - ANS-Member of the Genus Staphylococcus are often members of the normal
flora, so it is common to find some Saphylococcus aureus in the mouth, nose or throat.
True or False?
CMV (Cytomegalovirus; found in the GI tract. May affect any organ in the body.) -
ANS-Which virus is seen as a frequent complication in AIDS patients?
CMV, Rubeola, HSV II, Acute Coryza, Glandular Fever.
