Learning Objectives for "Immediate Innate Immunity: C3 Anatomical Barriers, Mechanical Removal, and Bacterial Antagonism"

After completing this section you should be able to perform the following objectives.

1. Describe what is meant by anatomical barriers to infection.

2*. List 4 ways in which the body can physically remove microorganisms or their products.

3. Briefly describe how intraepithelial T-lymphocytes and B-1 cells play a role in innate immunity.

4**. Describe how bacterial antagonism by normal microbiota acts as a non-specific body defense mechanism and name 2 opportunistic microbes that may cause superinfection upon destruction of the normal microbiota.

5. Briefly describe the process involved in the development of antibiotic-associated colitis.

(*) = Common theme throughout the course

(**) = More depth and common theme
