Identification, stain, basic terms
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| infection | Invasion of the body with organisms that have the potential to cause disease |
| Disease | A morbid entity characterized by: recognized agent, s/s, and/or consistant with anatomic alterations |
| Infectious disease is the blank cause of death | second after CVD |
| Leading infectious killer is | Acute respiratory infection-pneumonia,influenza |
| More people get____, and more die of______ | Viral infections and die of bacterial infections |
| Inapparent | No detectable clinical s/s- (never) |
| Dormant | Asymptomatic carrier, chicken pox and will later in life have shingles |
| Opportunistic | Caused by normal flora or transient bacteria when host system is compromised |
| Primary infection | Invasion and multiplication of microbes in a local area of the body |
| Secondary infection | A microbial invasion after a primary infection |
| Mixed infection | Two or more microbes infecting the same tissue |
| Acute infection | Rapid onset, brief duration |
| Chronic infection | Prolonged duration |
| Localized infection | Can point to the site of infection |
| Generalized | Disseminated throughout the body |
| Bacteremia | Presence of bacteria in the blood |
| Pyrogenic infection | A pus forming infection |
| Retrograde infection | Infection that ascends duct or tube against secretion flow |
| Fulminant infection | Sudden and intense infection |
| Superinfection | Considered a complication or adverse effect of antimicrobial therapy |
| Principle pathogen | Invasion in normal host |
| Opportunistic pathogen | Invasion in compromised host |
| Nonspecific immunity | Physical barriers, humoral response, normal flora |
| Specific immunity | Innate response, natural immunity, passive immunity, active immunity |
| Humoral response | Acute response, generalized reaction, leukocytosis, phagocytosis, inflammation, fever, complement, INF, cytokines, fibronectin, PMN, macrophages, monocytes |
| Natural immunity | Species to species resistance |
| Passive immunity | Vertical or artificial Antibody transfer |
| Active immunity | A vaccine which gives you the antigen and you build a response |
| Exogenous source of infection | Natural flora normally commensal but becomes opportunistic pathogen if translocates |
| Exogenous source of infection | Aquired from external source or carrier |
| Trophism | Affinity for certain tissues from character of the organism |
| Adherence | Attachment to host cells and considered the 1st step in host killing and toxic delivery |
| Adhesins | Filamentous structures (filmbriae or pili) bind specific receptors on host (sugars) |
| Exotoxins | Proteins that are secreted into the surrounding environment (or via lysis) |
| Endotoxins | From Gram - cells, are released via cell lysis or reproductive debris other wise not toxic |
| Steps in antimicrobial therapy | Empiric,Directed, Curative (prophylactic) |
| Empiric therapy | Organism is not known, but isolated and patient treated empirically |
| Directed therapy | Organism is known and narrow spectrum therapy given |
| Curative therapy | Prophylatic phase or suppression phase goal to erradicate or prevent |
| Bacterostatic | Inhibits the bacterias growth |
| Batericidal | Kills the organism |
| Factors in antibiotic selection | MOA, Spectrum, Resistance, PK, PD,Toxic, DI, indications, adherence, cost |
| Gram + features | Thick cell peptogylcan cell wall,NAG, NAMA, |
| Gram- features | Thin peptogylcan cell wall with a outer membrane and an inner cytoplasmic membrance and intersticial space |
| Cell envelope | Composed of the plasma membrane and the cell wall |
| Capsules | Composed of gel like polysaccharides that protect the microbe |
| Slime layer | Amorphous gel composed of polysaccharides, proteins, , AA, DNA |
| Biofilm | In colonies microbes began producing quorum sensors that induce aggregation and biofilm formation |
| Bacterial Pathogenesis | Most extracellular,intersticial spaces and adhere and secrete exotoxins |
| Neurotoxins | Inhibit Ach thus cause paralysis |
| Cytotoxins | Inhibit proteins synthesis leading to secondary complications such as pulmonary hypersecretion |
| Enterotoxins | Disrupt smooth muscle contraction resulting in GI distrubances |
| Endotoxins | Release of toxic substances from Gram- cell walls upon lysis or reproductive debris- can lead to sepsis |
| Cocci | sphere |
| Bacilli | Rod |
| Sprilla | Twirl shape |
| Vibro | cresent moon shape |
| Streptobacillus | String or chain |
| Staphtobacillus | Rod clusters |
| Spirillum | 2 twists |
| Spirochete | Many twists |
| Outer Organelles | Flagella, Pili (can be used for trophism) |
| Cytoplasm | Caontain enzymes, co-enzymes, metabolites, AA, neuclotides, RNA, inorganic ions, ribosomes, polysomes |
| Nucleoid | DS DNA, Genome in free floting cytoplasma (no nuclear membrane) |
| Enterotoxins (gut) | Hypersecretion, inhibit proteins synthesis, and can be lethal |
| Bacterial Protection MOA | Block lysomal fusion, survival in host lysomal, secrete phospholipase and degrade phagosomal membrane |
| MIC-minimum inhibitiory concentration | Lowest concentration of antibiotic at which growth of 1 bacteria species is inhibited |
| MBC- minimum bactericidal concentration | Lowest concentration of antibiotic at which 1 bacteria species is killed |
| Use of MIC | Comparison between drug class (1 organims) |
| MIC 50 | Minimum inhibitory concentration at which 50% or organisms are inhibited (groups) |
| MIC 90 | Concentration at which 90% of population is inhibited |
| MIC variability | If MIC 50 & MIC 90 values are near each other there is low varibility |
| Disk Diffusion | Plate organism and add antibiotic measure zone of inhibition (mm). Indirect MIC |
| Zone of inhibition | Indirect MIC |
| Broth dilution | Actual MIC and MBC are calculated |
| Etest | Combination of Broth and disk, given MIC based zone of inhibition |
| MicoScan & Vitek | Automated MIC values which can test multiple drugs using terbidometric method |
| Antibiotic breakpoints | Specific to bug and drug allows comparison using breakpoint of S, I, R |
| Gram Stain use | Quantitation of bacteria, access purulence |
| Acid fast stain | Identifies mycobacteria, nocardia, cryptosporidium |
| KOH | identifies fungi |
| Methamine silver stain | Identified pneumocyctis |
| Catalase test | Identifies Stap aureus from other Gram + bacilli |
| Coagulase | Allows for the identification of S. aureus verse other Gram + bacilli |
