KROK 1 2019 – Question 119 · KROK (Medicine) · Microbiology, Virology, and Immunology
The bacteriological laboratory has received for analysis a sample of dried fish from a focus of food poisoning outbreak. The bacteriologist inoculated the sample into a Kitt-Tarozzi medium, where growth of tennis racquet-shaped microorganisms could be observed. These microorganisms are likely to be the causative agents of:
- A. Staphylococcal toxicoinfection
- B. Salmonellosis
- C. Botulism
- D. Typhoid fever
- E. Dysentery
Hint
Link the anaerobic culture medium, the spore position that gives the racquet shape and the preserved-fish source to one specific food-borne illness.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
