Question
Answer
Most common cause of atypical pneumonia   Mycoplasma pneumoniae  
🗑
Second most common cause of atypical pneumonia   Chlamydia pneumoniae  
🗑
Newborn pneumonia   Chlamydia trachomatis  
🗑
When treating for gonorrheal infection, what else should you also treat?   50% of pts will be concurrently infected with both N. gonorrhea and Chl trachomatis so should empircally treat for both PLUS Ureaplasma urealyticum  
🗑
Lactose fermenters   E.coli ferments, while Shigella and Salmonella do not  
🗑
H2S production   Distinguishes between Shigella and Salmonella. Shigella does not, Salmonella does produce H2S.  
🗑
EMB Agar   Methylene blue inhibits G+ bacteria; lactose fermenters = purple/black (enterics, NOT salmonella or shigella); E. coli = metallic green.  
🗑
MacConkey agar   Bile salts inhibit G+ bacteria; lactose fermenters = pink/purple (enterics, E.coli, NOT salmonella or shigella)  
🗑
H antigen   Flagella on bugs like E.coli and salmonella (not shigella)  
🗑
Diarrhea with no cell invasion   E coli and V cholera; toxins in GI tract, but no inflammatory response  
🗑
Diarrhea with GI EC invasion   EIEC, Shigella, Salmonella enteriditis; Bind and invade EC's --> release toxins inside EC's --> cells destroyed --> inflammatory response (fever) --> WBC's and RBC's in stool  
🗑
Diarrhea with invasion of lymph nodes and bloodstream   Salmonella typhi, Yersinia enterocolitica, Campylobacter jejuni; Stool has WBC's and RBC's, systemic sx's (fever, headache, WBC elevation), lymph node enlargement, bacteremia  
🗑
ETEC   Enterotoxigenic E coli. Heat Labile Toxin (LT), Heat Stabile Toxin (ST). Inhibit NaCl reabsorption; stimulate secretion of Cl and HCO3 --> water follows osmotic pull --> rice water diarrhea (like cholera, Campylobacter jejuni, and bacillus cereus, and Y  
🗑
EHEC   Enterohemorrhagic E coli. Shiga-like toxin; inhibit 60S ribosomal unit --> inhibit protein synthesis --> EC death --> dead cells in stool and poor absorption --> diarrhea. Hemorrhagic colitis.  
🗑
EIEC   Enteroinvasive E coli. Shiga-like toxin. Also invade EC's --> inflammatory response with WBC's and RBC's in stool  
🗑
E coli 0157:H7   EHEC in hamburger meat. Caused hemolytic uremic syndrome -- anemia, thrombocytopenia, renal failure.  
🗑
red currant jelly sputum   Klebsiella pneumoniae  
🗑
Yellow sputum   Staph aureus  
🗑
UTI's in patients with Foley catheters   Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa  
🗑
Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumonia   Hospitalized pts and alcoholics  
🗑
Motile and breaks down urea   Proteus mirabilis  
🗑
Alkaline pH   Proteus mirabilis and Ureaplasma urealyticum - both split urea into NH3 and CO2  
🗑
Proteus antigens similar to which antigens?   Rickettsia  
🗑
Produces bright red pigment   Serratia  
🗑
Shigella   no flagella, does NOT ferment lactose (E coli does) or produce H2S (salmonella does)  
🗑
Shigella dysentery strikes which populations?   Preshools and nursing homes.  
🗑
Rose spots on belly   Typhoid fever - Salmonella typhi  
🗑
Diagnosis of typhoid fever   Salmonella typhi found INSIDE monocytes (invades lymph nodes)  
🗑
Mimics of appendicitis (RLQ pain)   Salmonella typhi (typhoid fever), Yersinia enterocolitica  
🗑
Patients without spleens more susceptible to….   Encapsulated bacteria: Salmonella, Haemophilus influenzae,  
🗑
Those with sickle cell anemia prone to what type of infection?   Salmonella osteomyelitis (bone infection)  
🗑
Food in fridge: can still get what?   Yersinia enterocolitica because it can grow in cold  
🗑
Mechanism of cholera toxin   ADP ribosylation of GTP binding unit --> inc cAMP --> secretion of NaCl --> osmotic pull of water and electrolytes into GI tract  
🗑
Mechanism of Shiga toxin   inactivate 60S ribosomal unit of intestinal EC's --> kills ECs --> dead EC's in stool --> poor absorption --> diarrhea  
🗑
Burn victims   1. Staph aureus, 2. Pseudomonas aeruginosa  
🗑
wound dressings that smell like grape and look blue/green   P. aeruginosa, blue pigment - pyocyanin  
🗑
CF patients   lungs infected with P. aeruginosa. Normally, P cleared by binding to CFTR channel. No CFTR channel in these patients, so no clearance.  
🗑
Diabetic patients with foot ulcers   susceptible to osteomyelitis from P aeruginosa  
🗑
IV drug users   Osteomyelitis from Pseudomonas aeruginosa in clavicle or vertebrae; R heart valve endocarditis from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staph aureus.  
🗑
Contact lens wearers   Corneal infection from Pseudomonas aeruginosa  
🗑
Which G- bacteria has no endotoxin?   Bacterioides fragilis (abscesses)  
🗑
Periodontal disease, black pigment on blood agar   Bacterioides melaninogenicus  
🗑
What does Haemophilus influenzae require for growth   Blood: X factor (Hematin), V factor (NAD+)  
🗑
Ddx for painful genital ulcer   1. Syphilis, 2. Herpes, 3. Chlamydia infxn.  
🗑
What is difference between chancroid and syphilis?   Chancroid = Haemophilus ducreyi, painful ulcer, painful unilateral lymph node, pus. Syphilis/SyphiLESS = Treponema pallidum, painLESS ulcer, painLESS BILATERAL LN, no pus  
🗑
What is difference between chancroid and herpes?   Chancroid = Haemophilus ducreyi, painful ulcer, painful unilateral lymph node, no systemic sx's. Herpes = Herpes simplex virus 1 and 2, start as blisters that pop (looks like ulcer), painful, Systemic sx's like myalgias and fevers  
🗑
What is difference between chancroid and chlamydial infxn (lymphogranuloma venerum)?   Chancroid = Haemophilus ducreyi, painful ulcer, painful unilateral lymph node, at the same time. LGV = Chlamydia trachomatis, primary ulcer disappears before PAINLESS LNs enlarge.  
🗑
female patient with pruritis of the labia, dysuria (burning on urination), fishy-smelling discharge   Gardnerella vaginalis - bacterial vaginitis  
🗑
How to confirm bacterial vaginitis?   Clue cells: gardnerella vaginalis (G- pleomorphic bacilli) in EC cytoplasm  
🗑
