Where is the primary site of Shigella attachment in the host?
A
Alveolar macrophages
B
Hepatocytes
C
Colonic epithelial cells
D
Renal tubular cells
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that Shigella is a bacterial pathogen that causes dysentery by invading the intestinal lining.
Recall that Shigella primarily targets the large intestine, specifically the colon, where it attaches to host cells.
Identify the type of cells lining the colon, which are the colonic epithelial cells, as the main site of Shigella attachment.
Recognize that alveolar macrophages are immune cells in the lungs, hepatocytes are liver cells, and renal tubular cells are kidney cells, none of which are primary targets for Shigella attachment.
Conclude that the primary site of Shigella attachment in the host is the colonic epithelial cells.
