Which bacteria cause toxic shock syndrome?
Yes, bacteria does cause Toxic Shock Syndrome by producing toxins that can overwhelm the immune system. Specifically the bacteria responsible for TSS are staphylococcus aureus and streptococcus pyogenes.
Which bacteria produces an exotoxin causing toxic shock syndrome?
Staphylococcus aureus is the bacterium that produces an exotoxin (specifically, TSST-1 toxin) responsible for causing toxic shock syndrome.
What is another name for toxin?
A TOXIC BODY OR CREATURE A TOXIC BODY OR CREATURE A TOXIC BODY OR CREATURE
What is preformed enterotoxin?
enterotoxins are toxins that target the intestines (entron). preformed enterotoxins (ex. cholera toxin) are formed in the bacteria prior to infection, ie. the toxin is being produced regardless of being in the human body or not.
What is the correct treatment for the toxin Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B SEB?
Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B (SEB): Therapy is primarily supportive, with close attention to oxygenation and hydration. Diuretics, acetaminophen, and cough suppressants might be necessary
Are there toxic proteins in vegetables?
Some proteins can indeed be toxic. However, note that it is rare for a protein to be toxic.Yes pathogens produce and secrete toxic proteins to invade their host. Bacterial toxin such as hemolysin A, neurotoxin, botulinum toxin, tetanus toxin, Shiga toxin are all proteins. They are strongly antigenic can elicit immune response.
What is toxic mediated?
Toxin mediated (tox = poison + in = noun form ++ mediate = intervene from "in the middle") diseases include Toxic Shock Syndrome, Diphtheria and Cholera. How you get a toxin mediated disease: A bacterium is in the human body. It may or may not cause illness on it's own. What is does do is produce a toxin (poison). This toxin might produce a reaction in a body tissue far away from the original infection site. Example: Recurrent toxin-mediated perineal erythema - presents 2-3 days after a throat infection as a fine diffuse macular erythema of the perineal region.
What toxin produces high fever non productive cough headache chills vomiting and diarrhea?
Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B, provide supportive care
What's Toxic shock syndrome?
Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a rare but potentially fatal disease caused by a bacterial toxin. Different bacterial toxins may cause Toxic shock syndrome, depending on the situation. The causative agent is Staphylococcus aureus.This infection can occur via the skin (e.g. cuts, surgery, burns), vagina (via tampon), or pharynx. However, most of the large number of individuals who are exposed to or colonized with toxin-producing strains of S. aureus or S. pyogenes do not develop toxic shock syndrome. One reason is that a large fraction of the population has protective antibodies against the toxins that cause TSS.[1] It is not clear why the antibodies are present in people who have never had the disease.11. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_shock_syndrome
The term toxin means?
the term toxic means poisonous
What is a bacteriotoxin?
A bacteriotoxin is a toxin produced by a bacterium, or a material which is toxic to bacteria.
What is preform?
enterotoxins are toxins that target the intestines (entron). preformed enterotoxins (ex. cholera toxin) are formed in the bacteria prior to infection, ie. the toxin is being produced regardless of being in the human body or not.
