🗑
show Darkfield microscopy and fluorescent antibody staining  
🗑
show Acid fast  
🗑
Legionella do not gram stain well so what method is used to visualize them?   show
🗑
show exotoxin  
🗑

🗑
show endotoxin  
🗑
Binds directly to MHC-II and T-cell receptor activating T cells to release IFN-gamma and IL-2   show
🗑
show TSST-1 released by Staph. aureus; Strep. pyogenes can also cause toxic shock-like symptoms  
🗑
Most common cause of meningitis, otitis media (children), pneumonia, and sinusitis   show
🗑
show Corynebacterium diptheriae (Pseudomonas also inactivate EF-2 but more closely related to burn victims not pharyngitis)  
🗑
ADP ribosylating toxin of these organism leads to G protein stimulation of adenylyl cyclase. B component has a preference for intestinal epithelium.   show
🗑
This organisms heat stable toxin stimulates guanylate cyclase (instead of adenylate cyclase like its heat labile counterpart)   show
🗑
ADP ribosylating toxin stimulates adenylate cyclase to cause whooping cough?   show
🗑
The alpha-toxin of this organism causes gas gangrene and double zone of hemolysis on blood agar.   show
🗑
Toxin of this organism blocks the release of inhibitory neurotransmitter glycine?   show
🗑
Toxin of this organism blocks the release of acetylcholine?   show
🗑
Toxin of this organism kills enterocytes resulting in pseudomembranous colitis?   show
🗑
show Shiga toxin produced by shigella (also produced by some strains of E. coli)  
🗑
show streptolysin O of S. pyogenes(Beta hemolytic)  
🗑

🗑
show C3a and C5a  
🗑
show Hageman factor  
🗑
show Meningitidis ferments maltose and gonorrhoeae does not  
🗑
How would you differentiate between the cocci staphylococcus and streptococcus?   show
🗑

🗑
show Staphylococcus aureus  
🗑
This organisms of normal flora can cause subacute endocarditis?   show
🗑
This organism of normal flora can infect prosthetic devices, catheters, and contaminate blood cultures.   show
🗑
This gram positive, spore forming bacilli produces an alpha toxin that can cause myonecrosis, gas gangrene, or hemolysis.   show
🗑
Gram positive, spore forming bacilli that can cause painless ulceration on skin contact or progressive pulmonary problems on inhalation.   show
🗑
show Actinomyces israelii and Nocardia asteroides; SNAP (Sulfa for Nocordia, Actinomyces use Penicillin)  
🗑
show Gram negative bugs; some may however be susceptible to derivatives of penicillin G such as ampicillin  
🗑
