Question
Answer
what are some general properties of streptococci?   gram positive cocci in chains, catalase negative, ferment sugars to lactic acid, causing low pH. they need enrichment with blood to support growth  
🗑
describe the classificaiton of streptococci   there are 20 serological groups based upon C carbohydrate (lancefied groups A-U) the preliminary grouping is based upon hemolysis of five percent sheep blood (alpha, beta, gamma hemolysis)  
🗑
which class of strep have bet ahemolysis?   S. pyogenes, S. agalactiae  
🗑
which class of strep have gamma hemolysis?   s. faecalis  
🗑
which class of strep have alpha hemolysis?   s. pneumoniae  
🗑
what are group A step?   strep pyogenes  
🗑
which is group B strep?   strep agalectiae?  
🗑
which is group D strep?   strep faecalis  
🗑
what lab test do u do with strep pyogenes?   bacitracin S  
🗑
what lab test do u do with strep agalectiae?   hippurate hydrolysis pos  
🗑
what lab test do u dowith s. faecalis?   bile esculin pos  
🗑
what lab test do u do with s. pneumoniae?   optochin S, bile solubility pos, quelling test pos.  
🗑
the structural virulence factors of this bacteria are capsule, fibrils (consist of M proteins) and lipoteichoic acid, peptidoglycan layer, T and R proteins   Group A strep (s. pyogenes)  
🗑
the soluble virulence factors for s. pyogenes consist of this   streptokinase, streptodornase, hyaluronidase, erythrogenic toxin, NADase, hemolysins  
🗑
what is the pathogenesis of group A strep?   encounter through infected individual or carrier, spread through tissues, and damage ellicits a strong inflammatory response. it causes chemotaxins for white blood cells. activates complement via alt. pathway  
🗑
what are some localized infections caused by S. pyogenes?   pharyngitis, scarlet fever, impetigo  
🗑
what are some invastive infections caused by s. pyogenes?   wounds, erysipelas, cellulitis, puerperal fever, endocarditis  
🗑
what are some postinfection diseases caused by S. pyogenes?   rheumatic fever, glolmerulonephritis  
🗑
lab diagnosis of pharyngitis consists of this   throat cultures and direct antigen test  
🗑
what are lab tests for invasive infections?   gram stain and culture, blood culture if bacteremia is present  
🗑
scarlet fever is cause by what bacteria?   group A strep  
🗑
what is scarlet fever treated with?   penicillin, long acting penicillin g, and oral penicillin for ten days to prevent rheumatic fever  
🗑
what type of strep infects neonates and also causes septicemia, meningitis, and pneumonia?   group B  
🗑
what type of strep causes UTI's, wounds, and sepsis?   group D strep  
🗑
what type of strep causes subacute endocarditis and dental carries?   vridans strep or alpha strep  
🗑
what type of strep causes pneumonia, otitis media, and sinusidis?   streptococcus pneumoniae  
🗑
impetigo is caused by what?   strep pyogenes. but may be mixed with staph aureus  
🗑
what is the defining characteristic of erysipelas?   sharp defined borders  
🗑
in this disease, there are ulcers formed into the dermis and is caused by strep pyogenes   ecthyma  
🗑
what bacteria causes necrotizing fasciitis?   strep pyogenes  
🗑
these are opportunistic pathogens that do not ferment glucose   gram negative nonfermenters  
🗑
what are some general characteristics of pseudomonas aeruginosa   motile with polar flagella, oxidase positive that are obligate aerobes, grow at 42 degrees C, colony produces a fruity odor  
🗑
what are some virulence factors for pseudomonas aeruginosa   pili, pollysaccharide capsule-slime layer, endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide), many extracellular enzymes, exotoxin A (inhibits protein synthesis),  
🗑
pseudomonas aeruginosa forms this during tissue necrosis   eschar  
🗑
list some diseases caused by pseudomonas aeruginosa   they afect immunocompromised or those with physical barriers: skin infections following burns, super infections following use of broad spectrum antibiotics, wounds, colonize respirators pneumonia, colonize respiratory tract patients, conjuctivitis, etc.  
🗑
where is a common place u can get pseudomonas from   hot tubs  
🗑
this is an oxidase negative (aerobic) nonfermentative nonmotile short gram negative rod   acinetobacter. it causes a variety of opportunistic and nosocomial infections similar to pseudomonas in temperate climates. has multiple drug resistance.  
🗑
