1

What do E. coli release when they die, which can cause disseminated intravascular coagulation?

Please select an option Incorrect. Colonisation factors are released from bacteria when they are invading and colonising and do not cause disseminated intravascular coagulation.. The correct answer is that endotoxins are released when E. coli die and cause endothelial damage leading to disseminated intravascular coagulation and endotoxic shock. This endotoxin is also pyrogenic. WikiVet Article: E. coli Incorrect.Alpha-haemolysin may increase iron availability for invading organisms but do notdo not cause disseminated intravascular coagulation when bacteria die. The correct answer is endotoxins are released when E. coli die and cause endothelial damage leading to disseminated intravascular coagulation and endotoxic shock. This endotoxin is also pyrogenic.WikiVet Article: E. coli Correct! Endotoxins are released when E. coli die and cause endothelial damage leading to disseminated intravascular coagulation and endotoxic shock. This endotoxin is also pyrogenic.WikiVet Article: E. coli Incorrect. Cytotoxic necrotising factors do not cause disseminated intravascular coagulation. Theyare released by many pathogenic E. coli and produce cell damage at their site of action. The correct answer is endotoxins are released when E. coli die and causesendothelial damage leading to disseminated intravascular coagulation and endotoxic shock. This endotoxin is also pyrogenic. WikiVet Article: E. coli Incorrect. Siderophores are made by certain pathogenic strains, and are responsible for iron aquisition; they include aerobactin and enterobactin. They do not cause disseminated intravascular coagulation. The correct answer is that endotoxins are released when E. coli die and cause endothelial damage leading to disseminated intravascular coagulation and endotoxic shock. This endotoxin is also pyrogenic.WikiVet Article: E. coli

What does Pseudomonas aeruginosa produce that damages the lung parenchyma?

Please select an option Incorrect. Exotoxin A, phospholipase C and proteases, produced by Pseudomonas, allow tissue invasion and damage, but not of the lung parenchyma.The correct answer is elastase which is produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and damages elastin in lung parenchyma and blood vessel walls. This aids in the disease process which in many circumstances leads to pneumonia. WikiVet Article: Pseudomonas Incorrect.

Which toxin is released by verotoxigenic E. coli into the small intestine in oedema disease?

Please select an option Incorrect. Alpha-haemolysin are released by E. coli but increase the avaliability of iron for invading organism, they do not cause the pathogenesis that results in oedema disease. In oedema disease of pigs, verotoxin, or shiga like toxin is released from verotoxigenic E. coli (VTEC) in the small intestine and carried in the bloodstream. This leads to acute, frequently fatal enterotoxaemia of weaned pigs. WikiVet Article: E. coli Incorrect. Enterotoxins are released by enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC).
