M. tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, causes latent infection in a vast majority of infected patients. These latent infections are characterized by granulomas - small areas of infected tissue that are surrounded by immune cells in an attempt to contain the spread of the bacteria. These granulomas can persist indefinitely without progressing to the disease, leaving the patient unaware of his infection. Which of the following is the most likely reason for the formation of granulomas? |
|
A
|
The immune system is unable to eradicate the bacteria, so it walls them off to prevent their spreading. |
B
|
The bacteria induce formation of granuloma to protect themselves from the immune system. |
C
|
The immune system retains the latent infection to prevent opportunistic infection from other, more destructive bacteria. |
D
|
The bacteria go into dormancy; dormant bacteria cannot be removed by the immune system, thereby resulting in granuloma formation. |

Q:

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacteria N. gonorrhoeae. N. gonorrhoeae is characterized by pili and other surface proteins which are used to adhere to genitourinary tissues in humans. These genes that code for pili undergo continuous antigenic variation through homologous recombination and phase variation (turning the genes "on" and "off"). Although growing antibiotic resistance has been an issue, vaccinations are not considered a very plausible preventative measure for gonorrhea. Why?
|
|
A
|
Antibiotic treatment has been very effective and new antibiotics are constantly created. |
B
|
There are no surface antigens on N. gonorrhoeae for which antibodies can be generated against. |
C
|
A bacterial infection by N. gonorrhoeae elicits a rapid natural immune response, so a vaccine is not required. |
D
|
The antigenic variation of the N. gonorrhoeae pili genes generates constant new variations of the pili surface antigens. |
