match each statement with one choice from the list.
a beginning stage of disease when there are no signs or symptoms
having an infection without any signs or symptoms
site in the body where most anaerobes are found
bites, wounds, scrapes are examples of this bypass route for pathogen entry into the body
toxin produced only by gram negative bacteria
a pathogen with low infectious dose is described as this
factors such as ligands or glycoproteins required for colonization
acquired immediately after birth, may remain in body throughout life
lower digestive tract
incubation period
highly virulent
endotoxin
decline
lower respiratory tract
microbiota
opportunistic pathogens

Explanation:

1. The beginning stage of a disease with no signs or symptoms is the incubation period.
2. Having an infection without signs or symptoms is also related to the incubation - like state.
3. Most anaerobes are found in the lower digestive tract.
4. Bites, wounds, scrapes are examples of parenteral routes for pathogen entry.
5. Endotoxin is produced only by gram - negative bacteria.
6. A pathogen with a low infectious dose is highly virulent.
7. Ligands or glycoproteins required for colonization are adhesins (not in the list but conceptually relevant).
8. Microbiota are acquired immediately after birth and may remain in the body throughout life.

Answer:

1. Incubation period
2. Incubation period
3. Lower digestive tract
4. (No exact match in list, but conceptually parenteral route which is not there)
5. Endotoxin
6. Highly virulent
7. (No exact match in list for adhesins concept)
8. Microbiota
