1) What is the most important intracellular microbicidal killing method:
Oxygen dependent microbe killing

2) Phagocytosis initiates activity of the HEXOSE MONOPHOSPHATE shunt, causing an oxidative burst, which supplies electrons to NADPH oxidase in the phagosomal membrane.
3)One of the products of the oxidase is SUPEROXIDE ION, which is further converted to _HYDROGREN PEROXIDE__ by dismutation, which is further mutated to_HYDROXYL RADICAL.
4)What does the hyd. Peroxide do for us?
In the presence of myeloperoxidase and a halide ion, it oxidizes microbial proteins and disrupts cell walls.

1)Describe chronic granulomatous disease of childhood:
Usually X-linked
Characterized by deficient activity of NADPH oxidase
Phagocytic cells ingest but do not kill certain micro-organisms

2)Which organisms are ingested but NOT destroyed:
Catalase positive “ these guys can destroy the hyd. Peroxide generated by bacterial metabolism, and the PMNs are deficient so they cannot generate additional hyd.peroxide, thus none is available as a substrate for myeloperoxidase system

3)Examples of CAT(+) and CAT(-) organisms:
S.aureus “ CAT(+)
Strep “ CAT(-)

4)What type of inheritance is Chediak-Higashi:

Autosomal recessive

Marked by the presence of abnormal WBCs

The WBCs have impaired Chemotaxis and migration (microtubules)

salaam armani,


Hmmmmm, is it the way u stop by and say Salaam?
Aeromonas hydrophila produces Aerolysin Cytotoxic Enterotoxin , a toxin that can cause tissue damage. It is believed that this bacterium aids in the infection of diseases, but do not cause the diseases themselves.
disease similar to cholera.

Infos from Wiki,no clue
