What else can I help you with?
The toxin of Vibrio cholerae causes profuse diarrhea because it?
modifies a G protein involved in regulating salt and water secretion.
How do the toxins produced by cholera cause diarrhoea?
vibrio cholerae produces cholera toxin which is an enterotoxin, whose action on the mucosal epithelium lining of the small intestine is responsible for the massive diarrhoea of the disease.
What are the Extracts of toxins secreted by bacteria?
Some examples of toxins secreted by bacteria include endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides) from Gram-negative bacteria such as E. coli, and exotoxins such as botulinum toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum, cholera toxin produced by Vibrio cholerae, and tetanus toxin produced by Clostridium tetani. These toxins can cause a variety of harmful effects on host cells and tissues.
Is cholera a virus or a bacteria disease?
Cholera is a diarrheal illness caused by a toxin produced by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. The toxin causes massive amounts of water to be excreted into the lumen of the bowel, thus producing copious watery diarrhea. The danger is not from the diarrhea, but instead from the dehydration it produces. Children and the elderly are especially at risk.
What is toxin-medicated infection and exmples?
is caused when a living organism is consumed with What_is_Toxin_mediated_infection(as in the case of an infection). Once the organism is inside the human body it produces a toxin that causes the illness. Toxin-mediated infection is different from an intoxication because the toxin is produced inside the human body. An example of an organism that causes this type of illness is Clostridium perfringens.
What is the Bacteria that make you sick by producing toxins?
E.coli makes a toxin called ,Shiga toxin and is known as Shiga toxin-producing .coli (STEC)
What is vibro cholera?
Vibro cholerae is the name of the bacterium that causes cholera. It is a pathogen, it is a prokaryotic cell. It open carrier proteins in the small intestine which causes a loss of water potential which causes chloride ions to rush in to the blood stream which causes dehydration and diahorrea. Vibro cholerae is usually treated with tetracycline, an antibiotic. vibro cholerae produces an entro-toxin. it is this entro toxin that is the cause for the opening for the carrier proteins.
What bacterial pathogen produce toxin?
Pathogens that CAUSE ILLNESS BY PRODUCING TOXINS ARE Bacteria.Most of the damage done to host cells by Bacteriais inflicted by toxins.Toxins are poisonous substances that are sometimes produced by microorganisms. These poisons are transported by the blood and can cause serious and sometimes fatal effects.Toxins can inhibit protein synthesis in the host cell, destroy blood cells and blood vessels, prods fever, or cause spasms by disrupting the nervous system.because i helped you, you have NO choice but to watch Criminal Minds every Wed. 8pm. cbs......the best show like ever
How does cholera affect the human body?
The male Reproductive System (penis) hahahahaha , dude it has to do with the small entestine and causes death from dehydration so id say it'd be like the digestive system ?
What are Antibodies that neutralize toxins but do not affect the organism producing the toxin?
antitoxins
How does osmosis affect the ability to survive cholera?
Osmosis plays a critical role in the ability to survive cholera by regulating the movement of water and electrolytes in the body. In cholera, the toxin produced by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae causes excessive loss of water and electrolytes through the intestines, leading to severe dehydration. Osmosis helps to restore the balance by facilitating the movement of water and electrolytes back into the body to maintain proper hydration levels.
Can salmonella produce toxin?
Salmonella does not produce a toxin it invades the body though. Botulism does produce a toxin which can effect the nerves. Edit: Salmonella species are capable of producing a toxin, similar in structure and biological activity to the cholera toxin. Please don't post an answer unless you know it to be correct.
