Dermatophytes cause infections of skin, nails and hair. 23. Which of the following is false concerning fungal infections? 24. Concerning helminthes, which of the following is false? A. Nematodes have a body cavity, digestive tube ending in anus, males and females B. Cestodes have no body cavity, no digestive tube, and are bermaphroditic. C. They are all chemobeterotrophs. D. Trematodes have no body cavity, have digestive tract ending in cecum. E. None of the above is false. 25. Which of the following is false concerning belminths? A.

Ingestion of the eggs ofthe beef tapeworm causes cystercercosis with systemic spread of larvac. The giant round worm Ascaris lumbricoldes can form "worm balls" that obstruct the intestine.

C. some have an (or a few) enzyme(s) D. icosahedral, filamentous, or complex in morphology all of the above are true of viruses. 28. Antibioties that target cell wall synthesis ultimately cause bacterial cell death as a result of A inhibition of protein synthesis B. inhibition of molecular transport C. decreased synthesis of plasma membrane. D. osmotic lysis. E. cell shrinkage.

Explanation / Answer

23) Option B is correct.

Most of the fungal infections are oppourtunistic and do not need the human host for survival. Most fungal infections are air borne and acquired by inhalation or contact of air, soil or surfaces contaminated with spores.

24) Option E is correct.

25) Option E is correct.

26) Option B is correct.

Streptococcus pyrogenes is a gram + ve bacterium, known as Group A streptococcus or GAS.

27) Option E is correct.

All of the above statements given about viruses are true. Some virusviruses contain enzymes like retrovirus contain reverse transcriptase enzyme, they have either DNA or RNA but not both, some have envelope, some are IIcosahedral, filamentous or complex morphology.

28) Option D is correct.

Antibiotics that target cell wall synthesis inhibit peptidoglycan repair, once peptidoglycan is compromised,causing cell vulnerable to osmotic lysis.
