Which of the following bacteria causes a common type of food poisoning?
a. Streptococcus sanguis
b. Clostridium tetani
c. Staphylococcus aureus
d. Streptococcus pyogenes

검증된 단계별 안내

Step 1: Understand the question is asking which bacterium is commonly associated with food poisoning, a condition caused by ingestion of toxins or bacteria-contaminated food.
Step 2: Review the characteristics of each bacterium listed: Streptococcus sanguis is primarily associated with oral flora and dental plaque, not food poisoning.
Step 3: Clostridium tetani is known for causing tetanus, a neurological disease, and is not typically linked to food poisoning.
Step 4: Staphylococcus aureus produces enterotoxins that can contaminate food and cause rapid-onset food poisoning symptoms, making it a common cause of food poisoning.
Step 5: Streptococcus pyogenes is mainly responsible for infections like strep throat and skin infections, not food poisoning.

Distinguishing Pathogenic Roles of Bacteria

Different bacteria cause distinct diseases; for example, Clostridium tetani causes tetanus, while Streptococcus species are linked to throat infections or dental issues. Recognizing these roles helps differentiate which bacteria are responsible for food poisoning.

How does Staphylococcus aureus affect the matrix between cells in the human body?

a. S. aureus triggers blood clotting, which coats the matrix and inhibits cellular

communication.

b. S. aureus produces an enzyme that dissolves hyaluronic acid and thus enables it to pass between the cells.

c. S. aureus possesses a hyaluronic acid capsule that causes leukocytes to ignore the bacterium as if it were camouflaged.

d. S. aureus does not affect the matrix but instead produces a necrotizing agent that dissolves body cells.
