Mycology & Virology HarrAll of the following are examples of appropriate specimens for the recovery of fungi except: A. Tissue biopsy B. CSF C. Aspirate of exudate D. Swab - correct answer D Specimens for fungal culture must be kept in a moist, sterile environment. Swabs that are dried out or submitted with insufficient material on them should be rejected. Generally, swabs are inadequate for the recovery of fungi because they are easily contaminated by surrounding skin flora. 2. Fo...

This summary has 50 pages with explanatory figures taken from the lecture slides. This summary contains all the relevant information from all the lectures and covers all chapters. This course is mandatory for all master students following medical biotechnology specialization. With this summary Igot myself an 8 in the exam.

VIROLOGY MCQs Which of these viruses can be treated with an inhibitor of reverse transcriptase? (choose more than one of the following statements) a) HIV 1 b) HIV 2 c) HBV d) HCV e) HCMV - correct answer Regarding the viruses that evolve according to the quasispecies model (e.g. HIV, HCV), viral variants occur (indicate the wrong statement) a) After the presence of mutations b) After phenomenon of reassortment c) After selective pressure of the host (immune response, drugs) d) Af...

Virology and Mycology Viruses - correct answer Obligate intracellular parasites Require living mammalion cells to grow and multiply They use the cells replication structures to reproduce They are released by buddig from, leaking out of, or rupturig the host cell Virology Labs - correct answer Keep several different types of cell cultures to grow viruses for identification Require a significant amount of lab space Most labs do not provide full service Usually provide rapid virology te...

Virology Exam #1 Properties of a virus - correct answer - Filterable agents (not retained in a filter like bacteria are) - Obligate intracellular parasites - Cannot make energy or proteins independent of a host cell (no generation of metabolic energy) - Viral components are assembled and do not replicate by "division" - Must encode any required process not provided by the host cell - Genomes may be RNA or DNA but not both - Have a naked capsid or envelope morphology Theories on how v...
