bacterial identification
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Staphylococcus spp | Hemolytic vs nonhemolytic |
| Staphylococcus spp | First test is catalase test |
| Staphylococcus spp | Coagulase test |
| Staphylococcus spp | Normal to see staph on skin swab |
| Staphylococcus spp | Broth |
| Staphylococcus spp | Skin infections |
| Coagulase test is done bc | coagulase positive cocci are more pathogenic |
| In broth staphylococcus spp looks like | comets or shooting stars |
| IE Bumblefoot in rabbits | staphylococcus spp |
| Streptococcus spp | Catalase negative |
| Streptococcus spp | Graded hemolysis |
| Streptococcus spp | Don’t grow well on a Meuller Hinton plate=sensitive to most ABs |
| Streptococcus spp | Normal in intestines |
| Streptococcus spp | Broth=stars |
| Streptococcus spp | Pneumonia, mastitis, and septicemia |
| Neisseria spp | Normal flora of respiratory tract of animals |
| Neisseria spp | N. gonorrhoeae=human gonorrhea |
| Neisseria spp | N. menigitidis=human meningitis |
| Neisseria spp | N. weaveri=infection from dog bites |
| Neisseria spp | N. iguanae=abscess in iguanas |
| Enterobacteriaceae (gut bacteria) | Commonly found |
| Fusobacterium spp | Dog/cat bites |
| Fusobacterium spp | Thrush in horses |
| Fusobacterium spp | Bovine foot rot |
| Nonenteral | Pseudomonas |
| Nonenteral | Aeromonas |
| Gram Negative Spirochetes | Campylobacter spp |
| Campylobacter spp (gram negative spirochetes) | Hooved animals=normal flora |
| Campylobacter spp (gram negative spirochetes) | Other species=severe diarrhea |
| Yersinia spp (gram negative spirochetes) | Reptile/amphibians and primate/ruminant fecals |
| Require salt to grow | Yersinia spp (gram negative spirochetes) |
| Leptospirosis spp | Gram negative spirochetes |
| Borrelia spp | gram negative spirochetes |
| Helicobacter spp | Gram negative spirochetes |
| Gram Negative Coccobacilli | Moraxella bovis |
| Moraxella bovis | causes pink eye in bovine |
| Bordetella spp and Pasteurella spp | Gram negative coccobacilli |
| Bordetella spp and Pasteurella spp | Respiratory infections in dogs, cats, rabbits |
| Brucella abortus | Gram negative coccobacilli |
| Gram Positive Rods | +/- spores |
| Gram Positive Rods | Don’t culture in small labs |
| Gram Positive Rods | Aerobic gram+ is Bacillus spp |
| Aerobic gram+ is Bacillus spp | Large, parallel sided rods |
| Aerobic gram+ is Bacillus spp | Normal contaminants/flora |
| Aerobic gram+ is Bacillus spp | B. anthracis |
| Aerobic gram + is Bacillus spp | B. piliformis |
| Corynebacterium | Normal flora of skin |
| Corynebacterium | C. equi (foal pneumonia) |
| Corynebacterium | C. pseudotuberculosis (lymphadentitis is sheep and goats) |
| Corynebacterium | C. renale (UTIs) |
| B. anthracis= | sudden death in cattle and sheep and skin/lung lesions in people |
| B. piliformis= | acute fatal enteritis in foals and rodents |
| Listeria monocytogenes | Gram positive rods |
| Listeria monocytogenes | Small, non spore forming rods |
| Listeria monocytogenes | Catalase + |
| Listeria monocytogenes | Infects brain stem=circling dz |
| Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae | Gram positive rods |
| Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae V | Septicemia |
| Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae | Endocarditis in dogs |
| Mycobacterium spp | Gram positive rods |
| Mycobacterium spp | Long chain |
| Mycobacterium spp | Serious pathogens |
| Mycobacterium spp | M. tuberculosis=tuberculosis in people and primates |
| Mycobacterium spp | M avium=fatal, untreatable GI and respiratory infections in birds |
| Mycoplasma | Small |
| Mycoplasma | Lack and cell wall |
| Mycoplasma | Not easily stained |
| Mycoplasma | Pneumonia and arthritis |
| Mycoplasma | Only ID in reference lab |
| Obligate Intracellular Bacteria | Chlamydia |
