Answer:

Scarlet fever or scarlatina is a bacterial infection usually caused by  <em>Streptococcus pyogenes</em><em>.</em>

This bacteria can be found in the mouth and nasal passage of human beings.

They produce poison or toxins which produce bright red rashes on the body.

Other symptoms may include Pastia's lines, strawberry tongue, fever, chills, red, sore and swollen throats, et cetera.

The infection can spread when a healthy individual comes in direct contact with infected droplets, mouth, nose, or eyes of an infected individual.

Virulence factors include lipoteichoic acid and M protein (attachment), hyaluronic acid capsule (inhibits phagocytosis), erythrogenic toxins (causes rash) et cetera.

The treatment is usually done with the help of antibiotics and other medicines to treat symptoms.

Presently, there is no vaccine available for this fever.

Thus, the correct statements would be:

  • caused by <em>Streptococcus pyogenes</em>.
  • most common mode of transmission is droplet or direct contact
  • virulence is due to the action of erythrogenic toxin
  • it is characterized by a vesicular rash

For which types of microbes would a microbiologist employ living host cells to support their growth?
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Correct Answer is Viruses

Explanation:

Viruses are non-cellular entities that consist of a nucleic acid nucleus (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein layer. Although viruses are classified as bacteria, they are not considered living organisms. The microbes such as viruses cannot reproduce outside a host cell and cannot metabolize on their own. Viruses often infest prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells that cause disease.
