Question
Answer

🗑
show Slow growing, fastidious and require a microaerophilic atmosphere.  
🗑
show Inhabits the gastrointestinal tract of poultry, pigs, dog, cats and sheep.  
🗑
Which species within the genus of Campylobacter is most responsible for disease in humans?   show
🗑
show at the body temperature of a bird (42 degrees C), and seems to be well adapted to birds, who carry it without becoming ill.  
🗑
show from feces or blood  
🗑
show Modified Skirrow Campy-blood agar plate CCDA Campy-CVA (all with antibiotics)  
🗑
What are the incubation requirements for Campylobacter?   show
🗑
show in direct detection from diarrhea samples.  
🗑
show self-limiting and are not treated with antibiotics.  
🗑
show (meningitis and arthritis)  
🗑
C. Jejuni causes what infection in humans?   show
🗑
What should be observed on selective media?   show
🗑
show oxidase-pos catalase-pos gram stain-curved neg rods ( faintly staining- seagull wings) p. 418 susceptibility to naladixic acid growth 25  
🗑
show Yes  
🗑
show Campylobacter can be easily spread from bird to bird through a common water source or through contact with infected feces. When an infected bird is slaughtered, Campylobacter can be transferred from the intestines to the meat.

🗑
show Virtually all persons infected with Campylobacter will recover without any specific treatment.  
🗑
Are there after effects associated with campylobacter infection?   show
🗑
show Curved microaerophilic gram neg rods  
🗑
show H.pylori -was called Campylobacter pylori  
🗑
What are some of the manifestations of H. pylori?   show
🗑
What specimen would be used for H. pylori examination?   show
🗑
show Selective media ( similar to Campy) @35-37 C Slow grower (4-7 days) Gram stain similar ID methods as Campy (table 36-3) oxidase pos, catalase pos, urease pos  
🗑
show Direct detection (most widely used): urease kit, urea breath test, EIA, monoclonal ab.Serodiagnosis is not as reliable  
🗑
What is the recommended course for H. pylori infection?   show
🗑
show H.cinaedi and fennelliae causes, proctitis enteritis and sepsis in homosexual men.H.cinaedi causes sepsis, cellulitis and meningitis in immunocompromised patients.  
🗑
How would the other Heliobacter species be diagnosed?   show
🗑
Describe Arcobacter   show
🗑
show Skirrow's medium is blood agar infused with a cocktail of antibiotics: vancomycin, polymixin-B and trimethoprim under microaerophilic conditions at 42 °C  
🗑
