Popular Pathology MCQ Topics
- 1. Toxins
Bacterial Exotoxins
staph
can produce superantigen
strep
~lysins that lyse membrane by pore formation, also superantigen
diphtheria toxin inhibits EF-2 and thereby protein synthesis
clostridium perfringens alpha toxin that degrades membrane phospholipids (PLC)
clostridium tetani
tetanus toxin inhibits vesicle release from inhibitory interneurons => spasm
clostridium botulinum
botox inhibits vesicle release at NMJ => paralysis
clostridium difficile
GLUCOSYLATES small ATPases, changes cytoskeleton, makes epi leaky
bacillus anthracis
toxin is adenylate cyclase
shiga toxin
glycosiDASE, modifies rRNA => stops protein synthesis
E.coli labile toxin
similar to cholera toxin, ribosylates Gs always ON
E.coli stable toxin upregulates cGmp
E.coli haemolysin
lyses red cells by pore formation
bordetella pertussis toxin
ribosylates Gi always OFF
cholera toxin ribosylates Gs always ON
helicobacter pylori
VacA vacuolating toxin, CagA increases proliferation => link to cancer
yersinia pestis
YopT changes cytoskeleton,YopP induces apoptosis
Other
plasmodium falsiparum GPI (glycosylphosphotidyl inositol), activating TNFa and ICAMs
fungi Ergotamine, aflatoxin...
