🗑
E. coli heat-labile toxin is associated with what dz?   traveler's diarrhea through plasmid, much like cholera mechanism  
🗑
E. coli heat-stable toxin activates what intracellular enzyme?   guanylate cyclase, also fluid secretions causing diarrhea  
🗑
EHEC toxin aka ______, why?   Shiga-like toxin, causes bloody diarrhea like Shigella  
🗑

🗑
Salmonella enterica is classified into its subgroups using what?   O-antigen serotyping -- groups A-D most affect humans  
🗑
Name the two Yersinia species that can mimic appendicitis   enterocolitica and pseudotuberculosis  
🗑
Yersinia and Salmonella both tend to reside and replicate within _______   macrophages preferentially; they are intracellular pathogens  
🗑
cause of the bubonic plague   Yersinia pestis  
🗑
carrier for bubonic plague   rat flea carries from rat to rat then bites humans to infect them (zoonotic)  
🗑
striking physical exam finding of pt with bubonic plague   massive lymph node enlargement, possibly near point of rupture  
🗑
tell-tale method of identifying Yersinia just with Gram-staining and microscope   safety pin appearance, bipolar staining on Gram stain  
🗑
2 definitive tests for identifying Salmonella in lab   presence of hydrogen sulfide, oxidase negative  
🗑
causative agent/mechanism of cholera   Vibrio cholerae A/B toxin, causes buildup of cAMP, Gs can't turn off --> massive diarrhea  
🗑
Vibrio species that cause gastroenteritis syndrome   vulnificus and parahaemolyticus  
🗑
individuals who eat _______ are at higher risk for Vibrio gastroenteritis   raw shellfish  
🗑
natural habitat for Vibrio species   salt water

2 species in Bordetella that cause whooping cough-like syndromes   B. parapertussis, B. bronchiseptica  
🗑
Brucella reaches humans how?   ingestion of food like unpasteurized cheese, zoonosis  
🗑
most common causative organism of meningitis in young adults or anyone in close quarters   Neisseria meningitidis  
🗑
2 common virulence factors of Neisseria gonorrhoae   pillin, lipooligosaccharide  
🗑
areas where anaerobes predominate   GI tract, mouth, skin, sweat glands, hair follicles  
🗑
Neisseria gonorrhoae ferments ______ for energy   glucose only  
🗑
Neisseria meningitidis ferments ______ for energy   maltose and glucose
