Question
Answer
show -obligate anaerobes 5-10% CO2 -slow growing 2-6 weeks -non spore-forming, non motile -slender, slightly curved or straight rods *high lipid content on cell wall so they are acid fast  
🗑
show based on growth rate, colony morphology, incubation temperature, and biochemical reaction  
🗑
How should expectorated sputum be collected and handled?   show
🗑
show Aerosol induced sputum • NaCl mist-nebulizer. This is done by respiratory therapy • Early morning specimen is best • Advantages: 1. Fewer contaminates 2. Faster growing  
🗑
How should gastric lavage be collected and handled?   show
🗑
How should urine be collected and handled?   show
🗑
show Stool 1. Naturally passed 2. 3-5 consecutive days  
🗑
How should Blood be collected?   show
🗑
show Tissue Specimen 1. Grind 2. Incubate cutaneous tissue cultures at 35oC and 30oC  
🗑
How should sterile body fluid be collected and handled?   show
🗑
show Digestion: • breaks up mucous and cells in specimen to liberate A.F.B.  
🗑
show • Kills normal flora and contaminating bacteria without harming A.F.B. • Use strong acidic or alkaline solutions - the lipid content of A.F.B. cell walls protects them from extremes of pH • Decontamination increases the chances of recovering A.F.B.  
🗑
show NaOH 4% is the "traditional“ method to digest and decontaminate • Time carefully; needs to stand for 15 minutes • Neutralize sediments (phenol red indicator • 5% Oxalic acid - useful to decontaminate specimen contaminated with Pseudomonas (CF patients)  
🗑
show NALC-NaOH 2% "gold standard“ • N-acetyl-L-cysteine is the mucolytic agent • NaOH 2% is the decontaminant • Neutralize with phosphate buffer • If after using the NALC method a specimen is still viscous a small amount of crystalline NACL can be added  
🗑
show • Cell walls have high lipid content enabling A.F.B. to retain stain when decolorized with acid alcohol • Stain morphology - slender, curved, pointed and beaded  
🗑
What is the procedure to stain AFB using carbolfuchsin   show
🗑
show Fluorochrome dye a) Primary stains: 1. Auramine 2. Rhodamine b) Decolorizer: acid alcohol c) Counter stain: potassium permanganate d) Screen slides using fluorescent scope on 25 or 40 objective e) A.F.B. will stain yellow against black background  
🗑
show 1. More fields scanned in less time 2. Yield higher number of positive stains 3. Questionable smears can be overlaid using Carbolfuchsin method  
🗑
show Dead mycobacteria will stain with fluorochrome method  
🗑
Why are Stain results important?   show
🗑
What are Non-selective mycobacteria media?   show
🗑
What are broth media used for mycobacteria?   show
🗑
What is used to interpret cultures?   show
🗑
Preliminary identification made based on what?   show
🗑
Name some mycobacteria and their optimal growth temperatures   show
🗑
What are the different type of photo reactivity?   show
🗑
show ■ an LJ slant with >50 colonies that are 3 weeks old need to be tested for niacin. ■ If niacin is present a yellow color will develop.  
🗑
show Test if bacteria conduct nitrate reduction, if they have the gene for the nitrate reductase enzyme. Red is positive for nitrite. 1: nitrate reduction to nitrite 2: nitrate reduction to ammonia 3: no reduction of nitrate  
🗑
