Microbiology - Chapter 14, Part 1

One of the difficulties in controlling the spread of gonorrhea is that: the causative organism is resistant to cephalosporin antibiotics. the infected male is asymptomatic. the organism is not easily killed by antiseptics and disinfectants. 50% of female infections may be asymptomatic.

50% of female infections may be asymptomatic.

Gonorrhea caused by which of the following has recently been observed? Antibiotic-resistant strains Gram-positive spore-forming rods Anaerobic coagulase positive diplococci Molds and yeasts

Antibiotic-resistant strains

Which of the following is not a characteristic of the infectious agent causing gonorrhea? It is gram positive. It is a diplococcus. It is nonmotile. It is a small cell.

It is gram positive.

Which one of the following bacteria is not related to a sexually transmitted disease? Treponema pallidum Gardnerella vaginalis Chlamydia trachomatis Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Salpingitis, a possible complication of gonorrhea, is observed as a(n): set of ulcers in the colon. blockage of fallopian tubes. outbreak of skin ulcers along the back. infolding of the intestinal lining.

blockage of fallopian tubes.

Deafness; impaired vision; and notched, peg-shaped teeth are a result of: gonorrhea infections. congenital syphilis. chlamydial urethritis. leprosy (Hansen disease).

congenital syphilis.

The organism that causes gonorrhea: dies quickly and is rarely contracted from a dry surface such as toilet seat. resists destruction during autoclaving. occurs in spore and vegetative forms. survives for long periods of time on a dry surface.

dies quickly and is rarely contracted from a dry surface such as toilet seat.

Gonococcal symptoms in a male include all the following, except: pain on urination. tingling sensation in the penis. discharge of a yellow, thick fluid. high fever.

high fever.

Gonorrhea under some circumstances can spread to the: liver. heart. pharynx. brain.

pharynx.

Gonococcal proctitis is an inflammation of the: penis urinary bladder kidneys rectum

rectum

The effects of Hutchinson's triad, a possible complication of congenital syphilis, are observed in the: hands, feet, and abdominal skin. teeth, eyes, and ears. pancreas, duodenum, and colon. brain, kidney, and heart.

teeth, eyes, and ears.

Match the STD with the Clinical presentation that best applies. An STD can be used more than once or not at all. If no STD applies to the clinical presentation, select "None of these is correct." This STD is called soft chancre Also called Hansen disease Only STD not found in males The less-common STD caused by Chlamydia trachomatis Forms a gumma Tissue samples contain reticulate bodies Sometimes called "the clap" Children affected with this STD can develop Hutchinson's triad

This STD is called soft chancre - Chancroid Also called Hansen disease - None of these is correct. Only STD not found in males - None of these is correct. The less-common STD caused by Chlamydia trachomatis - Chlamydia urethritis. Forms a gumma - Syphilis Tissue samples contain reticulate bodies - Chlamydial urethritis Sometimes called "the clap" - Gonorrhea Children affected with this STD can develop Hutchinson's triad - Syphilis

The similarities between organisms and symptoms have led many microbiologists to believe there is a relationship between: Yaws and syphilis. TSS and ANUG. leprosy and conjunctivitis. acne and Hansen disease. All of the above

Yaws and syphilis.

Trachoma or chlamydial opthalamia is: a spirochete disease of the lungs. a disease of the eye causing blindness in 7 to 9 million people worldwide. a sexually transmitted disease caused by a rickettsia. a foodborne disease of the intestine.

a disease of the eye causing blindness in 7 to 9 million people worldwide.

______ is a very small mycoplasma that causes urethritis. It can be treated by azithromycin. Neisseria gonorrhoeae Chlamydia trachomatis Treponema pallidum Haemophilus ducreyi

Neisseria gonorrhoeae
