Week 7 Concepts: Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases Respiratory, Digestive, and Urogenital System Pathogens Prepare: Respiratory, Digestive, and Urogenital System Pathogens • A woman is much more likely than a man to contract a UTI. Which of the following practices would best reduce her chances of getting a UTI? • What features of the respiratory system protect it from infection? • Defenses of the GI tract against pathogens include . • True or False: Despite acidic conditions, som...

Week 6 Concepts: Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases Skin, Nervous System, and Circulatory System Pathogens Prepare: Skin and Nervous System Pathogens • Which of the following is not a prion disease? • Most cases of sepsis are caused by . • Protective features of the skin include all of the following except . • Which of the following is a febrile disease characterized by a rash and is caused by a virus that can cross the placenta to cause serious fetal damage? • The transmissi...

Lab 10: How Germs Spread Learning objectives: • To learn how germs spread • To better understand the spread of germs, by healthcare professionals, from patient to patient • To better understand the importance of good handwashing. Germs spread in many different ways. Direct contact, indirect contact, aerosol transmission, sexually transmitted or through a vector. In this lab, we will observe how germs spread. Materials: Glow in the dark gel, Black light Method: 1. Wear pers...

Initial Post Instructions Some microorganisms like Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Yesinia pestis, E. coli can cause diseases of different body systems. Let's investigate how the same pathogen is responsible for different pathophysiological symptoms. First, choose a microorganism found in multiple systems. Then, describe your pathogen's role in disease for one body system: report the disease caused, the normal function of that system, pathophysiological symptoms, and the virulence factor(s) th...

Lab 10: How Germs Spread Learning objectives: • Identify how germs spread • Explain the spread of germs • Identify the importance of good handwashing. Germs spread in many different ways. Direct contact, indirect contact, aerosol transmission, sexually transmitted or through a vector. In this lab, we will observe how germs spread. Materials: Glow in the dark gel, Black light Method: 1. Wear personal protective equipment including lab coat, safety glasses and gloves. 2. Inst...

Week 5 Concepts: The Immune System Epidemiology Prepare: Epidemiology • The principal government agency responsible for tracking infectious diseases in the United States is the • The study of the frequency and distribution of a disease in a defined population is . • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention assigns the most virulent microbes known to cause human disease to biosafety level 4. Self-Check: Epidemiology Drag the label to the following diagram according to the typ...

Complete the following table by listing various organelles and structures commonly found in a Prokaryotic cell and describe their functions in 1-2 sentences. 3. Draw an image of a Eukaryotic cell in the space below. Label all the organelles and structures present in a typical Eukaryotic cell. 4. Complete the following table by listing various organelles ...

Lab 2: Techniques for Isolation of Pure Cultures Learning Objectives: • Isolate pure cultures from a mixed population of microorganisms using aseptic technique. • Learn the streak plate method Introduction: In this laboratory exercise, colonies from mixtures of Escherichia coli and Serratia marcescens will be isolated using the four-way streak method as summarized below (Figure 1). We will need this image from Materials: A 24 hour nutrient broth mixture of Serratia marsecens ...
