Virus infects the B lymphocytes. Fever, sore throat, anorexia, and lethargy with spontaneous recovery in 2-3 weeks
80% of population has had contact with mono.
a small % will develope integration of virus into genome.
Epstein Barr Virus
Viral integration into DNA of host
Few members of herpes family can infect the genome of host causing cancer
B ells are in lymph nodes and spleen
Strep can be a 2ndary infection to mono.
Once they start to die from lytic cycle the tonsils become enlarged and form a white biofilm
Epstein Barr Virus
can take 6 mo. to fully recover. Initially you will have an immune deficiency. Lytic cycle is up to 3wks and will switch to lysogeny in B cells
Human Papillomaviruses- HPV
Naked DNA virus
DNA Enveloped Virus'

Herpes 8 - Kaposi's sarcoma- (HIV)
HPV
Causes papillomas-benign tumor of skin/warts and cancer of the cervix and penis
30 HPV will reside in genital tract producing warts
HPV 16 and 18 are assoc with cancer of the genitals.
#'s 4 and 11 cause skin warts
transmission skin to skin contact and genital contact.
Epidemic
Incident and area
sharp increase in a defined geographic area
Endemic
a predicted value; every year we expect a certain amount of flu cases, etc.
Pandemic
detected and documented cases in all continents.
Uncoating
virus' shes it's envelope
viruses exchange DNA pieces
HPV
Gardasil vaccine
RNA envelopes virus
Influenza
has a segmented genome
with 2 major molecules in the the envelope of H and N
Hemagglutinin has 16variants
Neuraminidase has 9variants
their role is to find the host cell
Combination of the H gene and N gene gives the identity of the virus isolate.
Influenza Antigenic Shift
Exchange of pieces of DNA creating a new virus
may or may not have a high virulence for humans
Infects any cell that has sialic acid
1. has to be in close proximity
2. has to be able to infect human
3. it has to adapt to infect human to human
Influenza
transmission by airborne droplets
Mechanism of disease is lytic cycle in the lungs
TX is Tamiflu
prevention/Vaccine 2 isolates of A and 1 isolate of B
Influenza cycle

What's the antimicrobial action of Bacitracin drugs?
It inhibits cell wall by inhibiting the transport of the wall's bricks into the cell namely peptidoglycan precursors
What three groups of drugs are highly resistant to Betalactamases?
Cephalosporins, carbapenems, and monobactams
What is the antimicrobial action of vancomycin?
Weakens cell wall integrity causing cell lysis
Which last resort drug can cause aplastic anemia?
Chloramphenicol
Why are Beta-lactam drugs only effective against growing bacteria?
Because cell wall is only synthesized during bacterial growth and since cell wall is the target of the drugs, the drugs can't work unless the cell wall is being built.
What is minimum inhibitory concentration?
It is the lowest concentration of a drug that prevents bacterial growth.
What are the four ways in which bacteria fight antimicrobials?
Drug-inactivating enzymes, alteration in target molecules, decreased uptake of the drug, increased elimination of the drug.
How can microbial drugs combat resistance through spontaneous mutation?
By having more than one target, have multiple binding sites on a single target, or use multiple drugs at once.
