love to live in area of belt line and very easily transmitted; cause infectious disease of reproductive tract
scabies and genital lice
presence of inflammation in vagina
vaginitis
infection of vagina w/ the absence of inflammation
vaginosis
antibiotic that inhibits cell wall synthesis
Ceftriaxone
antibiotic that uses ROS to inhibit nucleic acid synthesis
Metronidazole
antibiotic that inhibits protein synthesis by blocking 50S ribosome reversibly
Azithromycin
pH of vagina
acidic

microbiome
NAAT
gram - like; no peptidoglycan
no gram stain

elementary
____ bodies of Chlamydia are noninfectious and replicate
reticulate
prevalence of ____ is higher in females than males
Chlamydia
non-gonococcal urethritis
pelvic inflammatory disease
reactive arthritis
Chlaymida
main way to diagnose Chlamydia
presentation of sx’s and NAAT
how to treat chlamydia
Azithromycin; Doxycycline
likely cause?
Neisseria gonorrhoeae
gram - diplococci
kidney bean shape
neutrophils with this pathogen inside it
N. gonorrhoeae
Grow on chocolate agar or Thayer martin (chocolate agar with antibiotics on it that prevent outgrowth of normal flora)
N. gonorrhoeae

burning w/ urination
purulent discharge
self-limiting, but if persists can lead to fibrosis of urethra
Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea is often asymptomatic in ______
females
Direct spreading to fallopian tubes; infection of peritoneum;

Salpingitis
Endometritis
Peritonitis
Gonorrhea
cervicitis
asymptomatic _____ are primary reservoir of this
females
Odds are if they are infected with one STI, they will be infected with
more than one
can lead to blindness in babies eye (not trans-placental, but from physical exposure in birth canal); ocular infection
Gonorrhea transmission from mother to baby
use pili to attach to epithelial cells
pili can undergo phase variation to stay one step ahead of immune system
Gonorrhea
cytotoxin (NLRs)——cytokine storm
endotoxin (LOS)—–binds TLR4 and release of TNF alpha
Gonorrhea
organism binds to factor H inhibiting complement cascade
gonorrhea
usually does not disseminate, but if it does, can cause petechial rash or purulent arthritis

gonorrhea
how to treat gonorrhea
Ceftriaxone (Rocephin injection) and Azithromycin
syphilis
