IOS 10 test 1

Identification, stain, basic terms

QuestionAnswer
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
Fermentation test Allows for the identification of Gram- bacilli (dextrose and phenyl red)
Steptococcal hemolysis Way of identifying Staph pyrogenes (group A)
B-hemolysis Staph Pyrogenes completely hemolysis auger
Alpha hemolysis Partial lysis- Viridan strep, strep pneumo
gamm hemolysis No lysis
Mycoplasma Does not have a cell wall and does not stain. Requires sterols for growth

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
