8.Brucella, Pseudomonas, Burkholderia, Aeromonas, Francisella, Bordetella, Moraxella. Identification of an unknown bacterium II. Flashcards
Pseudomonas pseudomallei can cause mastitis, dermatitis, middle ear infection, speticaemia in wide range of animal species.
false (aeruginosa)
Moraxella can infect even calves
true
Brucella melitensis is maintained by sheep and goat
True
Brucella melitensis is obligate aerobic bacterium
True
Francisella tularensis can infect humans, causes tularaemia
true
Bordatella spp. can grow on citrate agar surface
true
Brucella suis is an obligate anaerobic bacterium
False
Bordetella bronciseptica can cause pneumonia in rabbits
true
B.melitensis, B.abortus and B.canis have a strong relantionship in antigenic structure, so they show cross reactions
false
Brucella abortus is facultative pathogenic bacteroum
False
burkholderia mallei has flagella and obligate anaerob, but survives in water
false
B.pseudomallei is a flagellated bacterium
true
Moraxella ovis - we can see cocci in pairs in the smears
True
Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces two types of pigments
true (piocianin, fluorescein)
Human is susceptible to Burkholderia mallei.
True
Moraxella ovis can cause pneumonia in calves and sheep.
false
Special staining methods for brucella spp. is Ziehl-neelsen
false, koster-staining
. B. mallei is a widespread bacterium in our environment.
False, B. (pseudomallei is widespread)
Koster-positive bacteria are red
True (blue=neg,positive=red)
Brucella abortus is facultative pathogenic bacterium
- false?
Glanders (malleus) is caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei.
False, B.mallei
We use 5% sulphuric acid for koster-staining
False (0.5)
Cattle can be infected by brucella ovis
False, sheep
Francisella subspecies can be found in rodents and in artheropods
true
