[Immunology] The Serological and Molecular Detection of Bacterial Infections Quizzes (12 tests)

All of the following are protective mechanisms against bacteria except

production of fever.

phagocytosis.

activation of complement.

alteration of surface antigens.

Correct! Wrong!

All of the following are characteristics of streptococcal M proteins except

it is the chief virulence factor of group A streptococci.

it provokes an immune response.

antibodies to one serotype protect against other serotypes.

it limits phagocytosis of the organism.

Correct! Wrong!

An ASO titer and a Streptozyme test are performed on a patient’s serum. The ASO titer was negative, showing hemolysis in all patient tubes. The Streptozyme test is positive, and both the positive and negative controls react appropriately. What can you conclude from these test results?

The patient has a high titer of ASO.

The patient has an antibody to a streptococcal exoenzyme other than streptolysin O.

The patient has not had a previous streptococcal infection.

The patient has scarlet fever.

Correct! Wrong!

Which of the following applies to acute rheumatic fever?

Symptoms begin after either a throat or a skin infection.

Antibodies to group A streptococci cross-react with heart tissue.

Diagnosis is usually made by culture of the organism.

All patients suffer permanent disability.

Correct! Wrong!

Which of the following indicates the presence of anti-DNase B activity in serum?

Reduction of methyl green from green to colorless

Clot formation when acetic acid is added

Inhibition of red blood cell hemolysis

Lack of change in the color indicator

Correct! Wrong!

Which of the following is considered to be a nonsuppurative complication of streptococcal infection?

Acute rheumatic fever

Scarlet fever

Impetigo

Pharyngitis

Correct! Wrong!

All of the following are ways that bacteria can evade host defenses except

presence of a capsule.

stimulation of chemotaxis.

production of toxins

lack of adhesion to phagocytic cells.

Correct! Wrong!

Antibody testing for Rocky Mountain spotted fever may not be helpful for which reason?

It is not specific.

It is too complicated to perform.

Only IgM is produced.

Antibodies remain after initial treatment.

No ELISA tests have been developed.

Correct! Wrong!

M. pneumoniae infections are associated with which antibodies?

Cold agglutinins

Antibodies to ATPase

Antibodies to DNase

Antibodies to Proteus bacteria

Correct! Wrong!

Which of the following best describes the principle of the IFA test for detection of antibodies produced in Rocky Mountain spotted fever?

Proteus antigens are used to determine crossreactivity.

A light microscope is used to detect antigen– antibody combination.

Whole bacteria are used to detect antibodies.

Antibodies are detected by direct fluorescence.

Correct! Wrong!
