How Enteroinvasive E.coli invade host cell? Plasmid mediated invasion of epithelium of large interstine (plnv genes).
What are general characteristics of Salmonella? Gram-negative, rods, non-lactose fermenters
What is the one species of Salmonella? Salmonella enterica
What are the virulence factors of Salmonella? All the normal ones for enterobacteriacease, pathogenicity islands (PAI I, PAI II)
What kind of secretion system PAI I and PAI II are encoded? Type III secretion system
Where do Salmonella attach? Small intestine mucosa
What are Salmonella resistant? Phagosytosis
Which serover of Salmonella cause most diseases? Salmonella Typhi, Salmonella Paratyphi
What kinds of disease do Salmonella cause? Gastroenteritis, Septicemia, Enteric fever (typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever), Asymptomatic colonization
What are general characteristics of Shigella? Gram-negative rods, facultative anaerobes, non-lactose fermenter, humans are the only reservoir
List 4 species of Shigella that responsible for most disease S.dysenteriae, S.flexneri, S.boydii, S.sonnei
What is the specific virulence factor for Shigella? Type III secretion system which secrets four proteins(IpaA, IpaB, IpaC, IpaD)that lead to engulfment in colon
What is the virulence factor of S.dysenteriae? Shiga toxin
What kinds of diseases Shigella cause? Shigellosis (Bacillary dysentery)
List three species of Yersinia Y.pestis, Y.enterocolitica, Y.psudotuberculosis
What are the virulence factors of Yersinia? Type III secretion system to secrete several proteins: to halot phagocytosis, disrupt actin filaments, initiate apoptosis of macrophages, limit cytokine production to slow immune response
What are specific virulence factors of Y.pestis? Protein capsule for antiphagosytic, Plasminogen activator proteinase to degrades clots to spread.
What kinds of diseases do Y.pestis cause? Bubonic plague, pheumonic plague, septicemic plague
Which bacteria caused Black death? Yersinia pestis
Which disease is resemble to appendicitis? Enterocolitis caused by Y.enterocolitica.
What bacteria have prominent capsule, mucoid appearance in culture and cause pneumonia, UTI, wound infections? Klebsiella pneumoniae
Which bacteria have slow lactose fermentation, swarming motility and cause UTI and kidney stones? Proteus mirabilis
Which bacteria have characteristics of diplococcus morphology, aerobic, non-motile, oxidation of carbohydrates? Neisseria
What are the virulence factors of Neisseria? Pili, Porin proteins, Opa proteins, Rmp proteins, binding of host cell tranferrin, lipooligosaccharide, IgA1 protenase, B-lactamase
What Neisserial porin do? It interfere with neutrophil degranulation, facilitates bacterial invasion into epithelial cells, confers resistance to complement activity.
Which protein of Neisserial virulence factor mediate close attachment with epithelial and phagocytic cells? Opa proteins
Which protein of Neisserial virulence factor stimulate antibody production protecting the bacteria from serum bactericidal activity? Rmp proteins
Why Neisseria binds to host cell transferrin? To compete with host for iron
How Neisseria gonorrhoeae cause diseases? It attachs to mucosal cells, penetrates in cells and multiplies, LOS stimulates release of TNF-a
In what case, Neisseria meningitidis cause infection? When host does not have antibodies against capsular antigens.
What age is most prevalent for Neisseria meningitidis infection? around 6 months old
What disease does Neisseria gonorrhoear cause? Gonorrhea, Gonococcemia, perihepatitis, Fitz-Hugh-Curtis Syndrome, purulent conjunctivitis, Ophthalmia neonatorum, anorectal gonorrhea, pharyngitis
What disease Neisseria meningitidis cause? Meningitis, Meningococcemia, Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome, pneumonia, arthritis, urethritis
What are the general characteristics of Vibrio? Gram-negative curved rods(Comma-chaped), polar flagella, most strains require increased salt concentration, all species grow naturally in marine and estuarine environments
