🗑
What class of respiration is exhibited by Bordetella microbes?   show
🗑

🗑
Brucella microbes have what shape?   show
🗑
Brucella microbes are encapsulated or unencapsulated?   show
🗑
show Brucella are non motile.  
🗑
show Brucella are aerobic, so they breathe oxygen.  
🗑
show Brucella microbes grow on Ruiz Castaneda medium.  
🗑
show Brucella are intracellular microbes.

🗑
How do you treat Borrelia burgorferi (or Lyme disease) in the early, prearthritic stages? There are 3.   show
🗑
Once arthritis manifests in people with Lyme disease (caused by Borrelia burgdorferi) you would treat them with a __ course of antibiotics.   show
🗑
How do you diagnose Borrelia burgdorferi in the lab? 3 answers.   show
🗑

🗑
show 1) culture, which is difficult 2) agglutination serology.  
🗑
What important species of bacteria fall under the genus "Campylobacter?"   show
🗑
show Campylobacter are gram negative, so they stain red or pink.  
🗑
show Campylobacter are spirilla shaped - helical/spiral bacilli with a single polar flagellum.  
🗑
How would you describe the motility of Campylobacter?   show
🗑
show Campylobacter are microaerophilic, meaning they require lower levels of O2 than is found in the atmosphere. Campylobacter also needs low levels of CO2 (hence, they are capnophilic as well).  
🗑
show Campylobacter grow on blood agar inhibiting other fecal flora - Skirrow's medium or, even better, Preston's agar. Grow at 42°C, the normal avian body temperature, rather than at 37°C, which is normally preferred for bacterial growth. CSM/CAMP  
🗑
show Campylobacter are extracellular bacteria.  
🗑

🗑
show No  
🗑
How do you diagnose Campylobacter jejuni in the lab?   show
🗑
