Question

Diphtheria and Syphilis are caused due to bacteria.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. Diphtheria: A dangerous nose and throat infection that can be easily prevented with a vaccination.
   Breathing is difficult because a layer of thick, grey substance covers the back of the neck.
   Sore throat, fever, swollen lymph nodes, and weakness are some of the symptoms. Antibiotics and an antitoxin that neutralizes the diphtheria toxin are used as treatments. There is a vaccination available.
2. Syphilis: A bacterial infection that begins as a painless sore and spreads through sexual contact.
   Syphilis manifests itself in stages, with different symptoms at each stage.
   A painless sore on the genitals, rectum, or mouth is the first stage. The second stage is marked by a rash after the original sore has healed. Then, until the ultimate stage, which can take years, there are no signs. Damage to the brain, nerves, eyes, or heart can occur at this point. Penicillin is used to cure syphilis. Sexual partners should be addressed as well.
3. Bacteria: Bacteria are minute, single-celled organisms that can be found in large numbers in all environments, both within and outside of other organisms. Some bacteria are hazardous, but the majority are beneficial. They are utilized in industrial and therapeutic activities, and they support many forms of life, both plant, and animal.

Final answer: The statement is true.
