Question 25 of 54

Question 26 of 54

Why are anti diarrhoeal drugs not recommended for campylobacter infections? (3)= Stop ‘flow’, concentrates toxins/pathogens, increases contact time intestinal mucosa

Question 34 of 54

Question 35 of 54

What are the rare complications (sequellae) with campylobacters? (3)= Cross reacting antibodies, Gillian-barre syndrome (immune response damages nerves creating muscle weakness and tingling), reactive arthritis

Question 36 of 54

Question 37 of 54

What are the symptoms of clostridium difficile? (3)= Explosive, watery, bloodless diarrhoea

Question 37 of 54

Question 38 of 54

Who are most at risk of infection with C. difficile?= Hospital patients receiving broad spectrum antibiotics, patients hospitalised for long periods

Question 38 of 54

Question 39 of 54

How do antibiotics promote colonisation of C. difficile?= Reduce numbers of competitive bacteria

Question 39 of 54

Question 40 of 54

Why do antibiotics not destroy the C. difficilie?= Endospores not killed by antibiotics

Question 40 of 54

Question 41 of 54

What species of bacillus produce endospores? (2)= Bacillus, clostridium

Question 41 of 54

Question 42 of 54

How are endospores killed? (2)= Heat >120 `C, sporicidal chemicals

Question 42 of 54

Question 43 of 54

Question 43 of 54

Question 44 of 54

What are the virilence factors of C. clostridium?= Toxin A, toxin B

Question 44 of 54

Question 45 of 54

What is the mechanism of C. difficile disease? (5)= Attachment, endocytosis, acidification/release into cytoplasm, permanent G-protein activation - collapse of cytoskeleton/vili => loss of barrier (tight junction) integrity, less H2O absorption (diarrhoea)

Question 45 of 54

Question 46 of 54

How does the loss of epthelial integrity affect the cells of the colon?= Bacteria/toxins enter submucosa or possibly bloodstream

Question 46 of 54

Question 47 of 54

Question 48 of 54

Question 49 of 54

How is C. difficile diagnosed? (2) =Stool => PCR assays for toxins, GDH antigens 

Question 49 of 54

Question 50 of 54
