infection in children, staph exotoxin causing sloughing of skin, exotoxin is released from the bacteria staph scalded skin syndrome
what's the difference to distuguish between staph and strep? catalase + is staph; Cat- is strep

invasive cause of severe and rapid tissue destruction including: Cellulitis, Myositis, necrotizing fasciitis Gp A Beta hemolytis strep pyogenes: scarlet fever!
delayed sequel to GpA strep throat infections can cause valvultitis(endocarditis) Rheumatic Fever
leading cause bacterial infection/death in newborns, causing sepsis, PNA, meningitis GpB strep agalactiae
what culture is golden standard for dx of strep pharyngitix with 90-95% sensitivity? Throat culture
localized PNA, fever, productive cough, bloody sputum, G+ diplococci, Cat-, suppurative inflammation strep pneumoniae
G+, Cat+, Coag-, non-hemolytic staph epidermidis
throat swab: tonsillar exudate, G+, BetaHemolytic, Cat- cocci causing HTN, general edema, glomerulate dz, hematuria, proteinuria Strep pyogenes
Acute immune complex DZ formation of Abs against strep and localization of immune compleses in Kidney, occurs only after infection with nephrtiogenic strains of GpA Beta hemolytic strep Poststrep glomerulonephritis
neonatal meningitis, CSF with G+ chains, beta hemolysis, Cat- function Strep agalactiae
specialized media for Neisseria/Haemophilus chocolate agar, abx impregnated media "Thayer Martin" for Neisseria
flora of vagina, transfered to neonate during delivery causing gpB strep infections Strep agalactiae

gas gangrene from post-surgical wound, anaerobic, G+ large rod, disease only when they leave the normal spot, spore-forming clostridium perfringens
gas in tissue, fementation of glucose to produce gas in gas gangrene Clost. perfringens
2-wk old, fever, V/D 2-3d, convulsions, full term delivery, hydrocephalus, CNS findings suggested meningitis. CSF: non spore-forming, Cat+ rod, G+ with tumbling motility in wet mount listeria monocytogenes
only cause of neonatel meningitis that is G+ rod listeria
