Which of the following is NOT typically associated with viruses causing inclusion bodies?

Infectious agents known to cause inclusion bodies are typically viruses that induce distinctive cellular changes by interacting with the host cell's machinery. The correct answer indicates that Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a type of bacterium, is the only option that does not typically produce inclusion bodies associated with viral infections.

Inclusion bodies are often observed as a result of viral replication within host cells and can serve as diagnostic indicators of viral infections. For instance, Varicella zoster virus, and Herpes simplex virus can lead to the formation of characteristic inclusion bodies known as Cowdry type A inclusions in infected cells. Similarly, the rabies virus is known to form Negri bodies within neurons.

In contrast, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, being a bacterium, is not associated with the formation of viral inclusion bodies. Instead, it may lead to other forms of cellular injury but does not produce the specific inclusion structures that are characteristic of viral infections. This distinction highlights the nature of the infectious agents and their impact on host cells.
