intracellular pathogens can only replicate inside a host cell, whereas extracellular pathogens can replicate independent of the host
What else can I help you with?
Viral or bacterial germs that invade body cells are called?
Intracellular pathogens.
How do the immune cells discover intracellular pathogens?
All cells have specialized proteins on their surface that show a sampling of the contents of the cell to certain immune cells, which recognize these samples as self or foreign (i.e. intracellular pathogens) and kill infected cells.
Is intracellular space same as intercellular space?
intracellular pathogens can only replicate inside a host cell, whereas extracellular pathogens can replicate independent of the host
Pathogens that live and feed inside infected organisms are called?
Intracellular pathogens. These types of pathogens rely on living host cells to survive and reproduce, making them more challenging to treat with certain types of medications or treatments.
What were rickettsiae and chlamydia once thought to be?
Rickettsiae and Chlamydia were once thought to be viruses due to their small size and intracellular lifestyle, but they are actually classified as bacteria. They are both obligate intracellular pathogens that require host cells to multiply.
Do antibodies attack extracellular or intracellular antigens?
Antibodies primarily target extracellular antigens, which are found outside of cells. These antigens can be on the surface of pathogens or released into the extracellular environment. Intracellular antigens, located inside cells, are primarily targeted by T cells of the immune system.
Is chlamydia associated with the morphological characteristics of bacteria?
Yes, although it's an obligate intracellular parasite, it has the morphological charactestics of bacteria.
What do interferon's respond to in the presence of?
IFN-gamma is secretes by Th1, stimulated by presence of virus/intracellular pathogens. THis activates Macrophages while inhibit proliferation of Th2.
What are pathogens that need living cells in order to reproduce called?
Pathogens that need living cells in order to reproduce are called obligate intracellular parasites. These pathogens rely on a host cell's machinery to replicate and spread throughout the body. Examples include viruses and certain bacteria.
Are eubacteria intracellular or extracellular?
intracellular
What are viral or bacteria germs that invade body cells called?
Viruses, bacteria, and so on are called germs, infective agents, microbes, pathogens and so forth.
Do mollusks undergo extracellular digestion or intracellular digestion?
Intracellular
