How is it possible for strict anaerobic bacteria to cause a disease in humans? Strict anaerobe pathogens produce toxins that damage the host cells. There are parts of the human body where oxygen is absent. Strict anaerobes can hide from the immune system rather well. Strict anaerobes can break down the oxygen creating an anaerobic environment in the body.

Name two methods of control of growth for Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogen in a patient with the disease and when confronted with the pathogen outside of the host. Be careful to specify if it is a physical method or a chemical method (check lecture to differentiate these two). Control of growth means how would you deal with an infection related to a person as well as how would you minimize the presence of the bacteria on a surface or object.
