Question

Which of the following is classified as an intracellular bacterial pathogen?
A) HIV
B) Streptococcus mutans
C) Listeria monocytogenes
D) Neisseria gonorrhoeae
E) Bacillus anthracis

Accepted Answer

Intracellular bacterial pathogens are those that can survive and replicate inside host cells. Listeria monocytogenes is an example of such bacteria, as it can invade and live within cells of the immune system and other tissues. HIV, Streptococcus mutans, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Bacillus anthracis are not intracellular bacterial pathogens.
