Question
Which type of invasin is correctly matched with a representative organism?ANSWERCollagenase – Streptococcus pyogenesCoagulase – Staphylococcus aureusNeuraminidase – Escherichia coliKinase – Vibrio cholerae
Solution
The type of invasin that is correctly matched with a representative organism is Coagulase – Staphylococcus aureus.
Coagulase is an enzyme produced by Staphylococcus aureus that converts (soluble) fibrinogen in plasma to (insoluble) fibrin. Staphylococcus aureus uses this to protect itself from the host immune system.
The other pairs are not correctly matched. Collagenase is produced by Clostridium perfringens, not Streptococcus pyogenes. Neuraminidase is produced by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Influenza viruses, not Escherichia coli. Kinase is produced by Staphylococcus aureus, not Vibrio cholerae.
