Study material sample: Foundations of Biological and Life Sciences

Summary

Connect host susceptibility, genetics, and immunity with pathogen properties and treatment resistance, then interpret the multifactorial basis of NCDs.

What the exam focuses on

  • Distinguish infection risk, disease severity, and drug response.
  • Identify the denominator relevant to each biological property.

Common traps

  • Antimicrobial resistance does not mean the patient body is resistant to medicine.
  • Genetic susceptibility is not inevitability, and expression change is not necessarily a mutation.
  • No symptoms do not prove no infection or transmission.

How do active and passive immunity differ?

Active immunity is generated by the recipient immune system and can create memory; passive immunity transfers ready-made antibodies for temporary protection. CDC Pink Book, Types of Immunity.

How does virulence differ from infectivity?

Infectivity concerns infection after exposure; pathogenicity concerns clinical disease among infected people; virulence concerns severity among clinical cases. CDC Principles, Section9.

Does altered expression mean altered DNA sequence?

A DNA-sequence change differs from altered gene expression; environment can affect gene activity without changing sequence. CDC, Gene expression and Epigenetics.

What is AMR?

AMR concerns organism response to medicine rather than patient immunity. It can involve bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. WHO AMR, Overview.
