4: Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases Flashcards
These are conditions or
associated with pathogens
Infectious diseases
These are conditions or
associated with pathogens
Infectious diseases
These are microorganisms or microbes
which has the capability to cause diseases
Pathogens
Pathogens present in the environment that cause certain diseases which may also cause certain infections are?
- Bacteria
- Fungi
- Virus
- Parasites
Molecular techniques are also referred to as?
GENOTYPE ASSAYS or GENOTYPE TESTING or GENOTYPING
HOW TO IDENTIFY THAT A CONDITION IS CAUSED BY AN INFECTIOUS AGENT
Identify whose role:
Diagnosis?
Physician
HOW TO IDENTIFY THAT A CONDITION IS CAUSED BY AN INFECTIOUS AGENT
Identify whose role:
Isolates the pathogen
from different clinical specimens?

HOW TO IDENTIFY THAT A CONDITION IS CAUSED BY AN INFECTIOUS AGENT
Summary of the process of identifying diseases?
ISOLATE the PATHOGEN (clinical specimens) → MICROBIOLOGY section → IDENTIFY (Genus and Species) ‘name’ → BASIS of TREATMENT
HOW TO IDENTIFY THAT A CONDITION IS CAUSED BY AN INFECTIOUS AGENT
The actual name of microbe/pathogen?
Genus and the species
HOW TO IDENTIFY THAT A CONDITION IS CAUSED BY AN INFECTIOUS AGENT
T or F
Identifying isolated genus and species is important since it will be the basis of treatment
T
HOW TO IDENTIFY THAT A CONDITION IS CAUSED BY AN INFECTIOUS AGENT
T or F
treatment associated to your pathogen is universal to other genus and speciest
F (treatment associated to your pathogen is SPECIFIC for its genus and species)
HOW TO ISOLATE THE PATHOGEN?
What classical,traditional,usual or routine method is used to identify microorganism?
phenotyping analysis (microscopic analysis)
HOW TO ISOLATE THE PATHOGEN?
Focuses more on the physiological or physiologic properties of microorganism
Phenotype
HOW TO ISOLATE THE PATHOGEN?
2 Common methods of phenotype analysis?
- See through naked eye
- Microscope
HOW TO ISOLATE THE PATHOGEN?
A Common way of identifying presence of microorganisms in phenotype analysis?
staining procedures
HOW TO ISOLATE THE PATHOGEN?
T or F
Staining procedures identifies both the presence/absence of microorganism as well as the name (genus and species)
F (PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF MICROORGANISM ONLY)
HOW TO ISOLATE THE PATHOGEN?
Before identifying specific name of microogranism in phenotype analysis, this should be done
Culture the specimen
HOW TO ISOLATE THE PATHOGEN?
Before identifying specific name of microogranism in phenotype analysis, this should be done
Culture the specimen
HOW TO ISOLATE THE PATHOGEN?
grow the microorganism outside the body using artificial environment
Culture
HOW TO ISOLATE THE PATHOGEN?
majority of the microorganisms will grow during the span of these hours
24-48 hours
HOW TO ISOLATE THE PATHOGEN?
Denote the presence or growth of bacteria or pathogen, specifically if the one we isolated is clinically significant.
colonies
HOW TO ISOLATE THE PATHOGEN?
After presence of colonies, to specifically know the genus and species what dhould be done as a follow up?
Follow-up testing through biochemical testing
HOW TO ISOLATE THE PATHOGEN?
T or F
One biochemical test is enough to know genus and species of microogranism
F (series of biochem test)
