What poison is produced by bacteria and viruses to make us feel ill?
Toxins can be produced by certain bacteria and viruses to cause illness in humans. Bacteria such as Clostridium botulinum produce botulinum toxin, while viruses like influenza can produce proteins that exacerbate symptoms such as fever and muscle aches. These toxins can disrupt normal bodily functions and lead to symptoms of illness.
Explain why viruses are so difficult to combat?
Viruses are so difficult to combat because they are very good at assuming control of cells and multiplying themselves to spread and produce toxins.
Does bacteria produce toxins?
Yes. Bacteria do produce toxins. Usually gram positive bacteria produce exo-toxins and gram negative bacteria produce endo-toxins.
What type of microbe produces bacitracin?
Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus subtilis are the two main types of bacteria that produce bacitracin.
Does viruses releases harmful toxins?
Viruses themselves do not release toxins. Instead, they replicate and spread by hijacking the host cell's machinery. However, some viruses can cause infected cells to release toxins as part of the immune response, leading to symptoms of illness.
What are the Proteins called attack viruses and toxins?
Antibodies
Which of the following is NOT a type of biological agent Viruses Toxins Blood Bacteria?
Toxins are not considered biological agents, as they are typically produced by living organisms but do not have the ability to replicate on their own like viruses, bacteria, and blood cells.
Does Ebola produces toxins?
No. It doesn't produce toxins as we know them.
What are viral toxins?
Viral toxins are proteins produced by some viruses that can cause harm to host cells or organisms. These toxins can disrupt normal cellular functions, leading to cell death or damage. Examples of viral toxins include the rotavirus NSP4 protein and the diphtheria toxin produced by the bacteriophage Diphtheria.
What is a pathogen produce?
Some pathogens produce toxins.
Does virus makes the cell it is in produce more viruses?
Yes, viruses use the cell that it has invaded to produce more viruses.
Some pathogens produce what?
Toxins
