2.) The suspected pathogen cannot be cultured in the laboratory. 3.) There is not a suitable experimental host for the suspected pathogen. 5.) The disease is polymicrobial, caused by more than one pathogen. Properly order the four stages of clinical infection. a.)
The suspected pathogen produces disease both in humans and a suitable test animal. 5.) The disease is polymicrobial, caused by more than one pathogen. 2.) The suspected pathogen cannot be cultured in the laboratory. 3.) There is not a suitable experimental host for the suspected pathogen. 5.)
Colonization of a body tissue by microbes most often results in the establishment of disease. False, this will only happen if the microbes enter through the correct portal and establish an infection. True or false? Pathogens with smaller infectious doses exhibit less virulence.
Pathogens with smaller infectious doses exhibit less virulence. False, pathogens exhibiting a low infectious dose are typically most virulent. In other words, they have a large capacity to establish in a host and cause disease so it doesn't take as many cells to result in an infection.
