where does rash start in the patients with roseola infantum, measles, rubellaroseola infantum(exanthem subitum)→starts on trunk and spreads to the face
measles→starts on the head/neck and spreads downward
rubella→starts on face and spreads centrifugally to involve trunk and extremities ☆(postauricular, occipital) lymphadenopathy microbiologypediatricsUWorld Oct 29, 2019, 8:49 AM HirotoShishido

bacterias which infect humans via
①transformation, ②transduction, ③conjugation①transformation
SHiN(S.pneumoniae, H.influenzae type b, and Nisseria)=Encapsulatea bacteria, ↑prevalence in asplenics
☆direct uptake of extracellular DNA(lysis & relase of DNA)
②transduction(bacteriophage)

how E.coli infect bladderThey use their ☆fimbriae to attach to the epithelial cell walls of the urinary tract. This allows the bacteria to withstand the pressure of the fluid flowing past them and colonize in the urinary tract. microbiology Oct 13, 2019, 4:44 AM HirotoShishido

Clostridium difficile
two toxinsToxin A=enterotoxin→alters fluid secretion
Toxin B=cytotoxin(more potent than Toxin A)→cause ☆apoptosis in a variety of cell types via actin depolymerization
(Toxins inactivate Rho-regulatory proteins which is involved in actin cytoskeletal structure maintenance. The result is ☆loss of cytoskeleton integrity, leading to cell rounding/retraction, disruption of intercellular tight junctions, and increased paracellular intestinal fluid secretion (eg, watery diarrhea)) gastrointestinalmicrobiology Oct 8, 2019, 9:40 PM HirotoShishido
