MICROBIOLOGY FINAL EXAM
2024-2025| ACTUAL EXAM
What causes peptic ulcers? - ANSWER-Helicobacter
pylori
Rabbit fever caused by which bacteria? - ANSWER-
Francisella tularensis
Rocky Mountain spotted fever is caused by bacterium: -
ANSWER-Rickettsia rickettsia
Cytomegalovirus infections are caused by which human
herpes virus? - ANSWER-Five
Malaria is caused by a: - ANSWER-Protozoan
,How is toxoplasmosis categorized? - ANSWER-
Protozoan
Gangrene - ANSWER-A complication of necrosis related
to wounds
Symptoms of endocarditis - ANSWER-Fever and chills,
weight loss, muscle ache
Septicemia - ANSWER-The toxic condition caused by the
multiplication of bacteria in the blood.
Microbemia - ANSWER-In infection caused by a
microorganism entering the circulatory system through
lymphatic drainage.
Strep throat - ANSWER-Causes a rare, inflammatory
disease called rheumatic fever
Examples of zoonotic diseases - ANSWER-Brucellosis,
undulant fever, tularemia, rabbit fever
Zoonotic - ANSWER-Any infectious disease or infection
that can be transmitted from vertebrate animals to humans
Bacteremia - ANSWER-When bacteria are found in the
blood
Sepsis - ANSWER-Toxic condition caused by the spread
of bacteria or bacterial toxins from the site of infection
, Trypanosoma Cruzi - ANSWER-Cause of Chagas'
disease
Dry gangrene - ANSWER-often occurs in persons with
impaired peripheral blood flow
Internal gangrene (white gangrene) - ANSWER-generally
contracted after surgery or trauma
Wet gangrene - ANSWER-occurs in organs lined by
mucous membranes such as the mouth, lower intestinal
tract, lungs, and cervix
Gas gangrene - ANSWER-caused by bacteria that
produce gas within the infected tissue. Toxins produced
will cause necrosis; if untreated the condition is fatal.
Principles of Viral Hemorrhagic Fever (VHF) - ANSWER-
group of febrile illnesses ranging in severity from relatively
mild to life-threatening. Caused by four distinct viral
families: Arenaviridae, Filoviridae, Bunyaviridae, and
Flaviviridae. All VHFs characterized by fever, overall
vascular system damage, and bleeding disorders that can
lead to high fever, shock, and death. Although distributed
over much of the world, many VHFs are present in
geographically limited areas and risk of infection is
restricted to those areas.
Systemic Mycosis - ANSWER-fungal infections capable of
affecting all internal organs. Persons with a competent
immune system may be asymptomatic or show only minor
