1
New cards

gardasil 9

vlps induces neutralizing antibodies to prevent hpv attachment

2
New cards

carrageenan

polysaccharide in lubes that prevent hpv and hiv

3
New cards

treatment of hpv

topicals, liquid n2, surgical removal, ablation ~70

4
New cards

vlps

purified spike protein

5
New cards

HPV

recurrent respiratory papillomatous causes airway obstruction and often fatal

6
New cards

lifetime risk of HPV

>50%

7
New cards

male urethra is how much longer

4x

8
New cards

sxs for alcoholics

lazy epiglottis stays open, lazy macrophages dont clean up

9
New cards

sxs of smokers

destroys cillia that remove mucus and pathogens

10
New cards

upper flora of respiratory tract is similar to

oral cavity strep

11
New cards

lungs are historically considered

sterile

12
New cards

hpv is spread by

skin contact

13
New cards

microbes removed from lungs via

continous stream of mucus generated by ciliated epithelial cells, phagocytic action of alveolar macrophages, lysozume in mucus, soluble IgA

14
New cards

surfactants

allows movement of lungs and acts as antimicrobial peptides

15
New cards

saliva bacterial content

10^9 bact/mL

16
New cards

structure of mouth microbiome

layers

17
New cards

strep sp.

plaque, caries, gingivitis, perio

18
New cards

female genital tract

complex microbiota, acid tolerant lactobacillus dominant, estrogen stimulate glycogen prod, low pH, share flora w segsual partner

19
New cards

complex microbiota of females

state of fluctuation due to change of hormones and blood flow in cycle

20
New cards

lactobacillus use glycogen to produce

lactic acid lowers pH to 5

21
New cards

preterm and multigravida babies effect on flora

decrease in lacto and increase in bacteria diversity

22
New cards

outer ear

populated with bacteria often seen on the skin

23
New cards

inner ear

pseudomonas aeruginosa swimmers ear

24
New cards

women have more utis due to

short and moist urethra, most frequent is e. coli

25
New cards

first sxs of uti

burns when pee, lethargy

26
New cards

most bacteria and most diverse and most yeast and phages

large intestine colon

27
New cards

colon flora elimated via

peristalsis, desquamation, and mucus movement

28
New cards

desquamation

natural losing/shedding of cells

29
New cards

colon flora rapidly reproduced via

self regulating high reproductive rate

30
New cards

best thing chemo patients can eat

pears for constipation

31
New cards

>90 resident flora

obligate anaerobes lik bacteroides, bifida, fusobact. clostridium, etc

32
New cards

facultative aneaerobes in colon

present

33
New cards

purpose of appendix

holds bacter back to help when sick for regulation

34
New cards

EMPHASIS ON

bifidabacterium

35
New cards

impact of intestinal nf

provides enzymes for digestion, competes with exogenous pathogen, produces natural metabolites, modifies enviroment

36
New cards

natural metabolites

acids alcohols antibiotics bacteriosins

37
New cards

vitamin synthesis from intestinal flora

vit a and vit k

38
New cards

galt

gut associated lymphoid tissue

39
New cards

function of galt

contains all cells needed for robust immune system and normal response trained by nf

40
New cards

sIgA

antibody that blocks microbes from binding to host receptors

41
New cards

host protein glucosylation

sugars added to protein receptors on host tissues to decrease patho binding and increase expulsion

42
New cards

bacterial metabolism may result in

detoxification or certain dyes into carcinogens

43
New cards

leaky gut progression leads to

dysbiosis

44
New cards

first warning sign of LGP

food intolerances

45
New cards

causes of LGP

one or more of stress, toxins, food particles, drugs, pathos, organ malfunction

46
New cards

impact of gut permeability

increase of invasion and tissue breakdown

47
New cards

progression of leaky gut

gi inflammation to food intolerances to immune sys issues to autoimmunity

48
New cards

second brain

gut nf; releases pharmacologically active molecules that spread through blood

49
New cards

LPS shown to decrease thyroid receptor expression which leads to

hypothyroidism because not getting hormone signals

50
New cards

inflammed gut leads to

impaired nutrient absorption which is vital for throid health

51
New cards

autism and asthma associated with

decreased bacteria diversity

52
New cards

gut microbes

influence hormone production and behavior, interact with a number of endocrine receptors, and can change metabolism and virulence in response to signals

53
New cards

five day course of antibiotics can suppress up to 1/3 of the gut microbiome which

stops growth of new brain cells

54
New cards

stress biomarkers could indicate if someone is suffering from or risks developing ptsd which allows for

treatment or prevention with probiotics and antibiotics

55
New cards

decrease in brain derived neurotrophic factor causes

increased depression and anxiety

56
New cards

increased microbiome diversity at body sites that normally have restricted diversity

associated with disease

57
New cards

strategies for manipulating microbial growth

nutrition, antibiotics, microbial supplementation

58
New cards
