The enveloped viruses have

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because enveloped viruses have a lipid bilayer envelope derived from the host cell membrane, which is a complex structure, not exhibiting any specific symmetry. Choice A (cubic symmetry) is incorrect as enveloped viruses do not have any specific geometric shape. Choice B (spiral symmetry) is incorrect as this type of symmetry is typically seen in non-enveloped viruses like helical viruses. Choice C (complex symmetry) is also incorrect as enveloped viruses do not exhibit a specific symmetrical pattern. Therefore, the correct answer is D because enveloped viruses do not have a defined symmetry and can vary in shape and structure.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: P.aeruginosa. This bacterium is commonly found in water and soil, making its presence in indoor air an indicator of poor sanitation. Step 1: P.aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen known to cause infections in hospitals. Step 2: Its presence in the air indicates potential contamination and poor air quality. Step 3: Regular monitoring of P.aeruginosa levels can help assess the effectiveness of sanitation measures. Summary: A, B, and C are not suitable indicators of air sanitation in an enclosed space as they are not typically associated with environmental contamination or poor air quality.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Passive immunity is the transfer of pre-formed antibodies from one individual to another, providing immediate protection. This process does not involve the recipient's immune response, hence it is called passive. Active immunity, on the other hand, involves the individual's immune system producing its own antibodies after exposure to an antigen. Innate immunity refers to the body's natural defense mechanisms present from birth, not involving antibodies. Therefore, the correct answer is A: passive immunity.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Aminoglycosides primarily inhibit protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit in bacteria. This action leads to misreading of mRNA and ultimately disrupts the translation process, resulting in faulty protein production and bacterial cell death. Incorrect choices: B: Aminoglycosides do not inhibit DNA replication. C: Aminoglycosides do not disrupt cell membrane integrity. D: Aminoglycosides do not inhibit folic acid synthesis. In summary, the correct choice (A) aligns with the known mechanism of action of aminoglycosides, making it the most appropriate answer.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: To determine the children that need to receive BCG vaccination. The Mantoux test is used to identify individuals who have been exposed to Tuberculosis (TB) and need BCG vaccination for protection. Parotitis (choice A) is a viral infection unrelated to TB. Allergization rate toward rickettsia (choice B) and immune stress toward diphtheria (choice C) are not related to the Mantoux test or BCG vaccination. Therefore, choice D is the correct answer as it aligns with the purpose of the Mantoux test.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Entamoeba histolytica. This is because Entamoeba histolytica is known to cause amebic dysentery, leading to chronic diarrhea. The presence of cysts with four nuclei in the stool sample is characteristic of Entamoeba histolytica. Giardia lamblia (choice B) is known to cause diarrhea but does not present with cysts containing four nuclei. Balantidium coli (choice C) is a ciliated protozoan that can cause diarrhea, but it does not have cysts with four nuclei. Trichomonas hominis (choice D) is a non-pathogenic protozoan commonly found in the human colon and is not associated with causing chronic diarrhea or cysts with four nuclei.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Step 1: The nucleocapsid is the structure containing the viral genome and the protein capsid. Step 2: The genome carries the genetic material of the virus. Step 3: The capsid is the protein coat that encloses and protects the viral genome. Step 4: Therefore, the correct answer is C: Genome and capsid. Summary: A: Capsid and spikes - Incorrect, spikes are not part of the nucleocapsid. B: Genome and envelop - Incorrect, the envelop is not part of the nucleocapsid. D: Capsid and envelope - Incorrect, the envelope is not part of the nucleocapsid.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Lamblia. The presence of big pyriform cells with two nuclei in the duodenal contents indicates Giardia lamblia infection. This parasite is commonly found in contaminated water and causes symptoms like poor appetite and abdominal pain. Trichomonas, Amoeba, Trypanosoma, and Toxoplasma are not typically associated with these findings and symptoms. Therefore, Lamblia is the most likely microorganism based on the clinical presentation and microscopic examination results.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: A is incorrect because whooping cough resurgence is mainly due to decreased vaccine immunity, not changing antigenicity. B is correct as P. aeruginosa can indeed cause infections with blue-green pus due to its pigment production. C is correct as H. influenzae type b capsule is a virulence factor contributing to invasive disease. D is correct as Legionella infection is acquired via inhalation of contaminated water aerosols. Therefore, A is incorrect as the rise in whooping cough is not due to changing antigenicity but vaccine immunity decline.
