Q

S. pneumo binding factors?

A

Pili: activate TNF

Surface proteins: bind choline on epi cells

17
Q

S. pneumo Pneumolysin is?

A

cytotoxin that forms pores in host membrane ->
lyse host,
activate complement

18
Q

S. pneumo Autolysin is?

A

enzyme produced in response to abx:
lyses host and pneumococcus ->
release pneumolysin,
↓ host immune response

19
Q

S. pneumo action?

A

causes immune response, allows replication of micorbe

fluid fills alveoli -> RBC/WBC -> consolidation

20
Q

S. pneumo resolution?

A

fluid reab and phago of bacteria

21
Q

S. pneumo diagnostic tests?

A

Aggultination = capsular polysacc

Genetic Probe = s. pneumo rRNA

Nosocomal

25
Q

K. pneumo Virulence Factors?

A

POLYSACC CAPSULE:
Φ phagocytosis
Φ MAC lysis
Adhesion

26
Q

K. pneumo action?

A

Causes typical CAP/Nosocom:
necrosis of alv spaces, up lobes ->
inflamm and hemorr
(C) fatal

27
Q

Q

Mycoplasma pneumo microbe characteristics?

A

Φ cell wall
“Fried egg” in culture
Sterols in plasma memb

31
Q

M. pneumo action?

A

Adhesion to epith -> release H2O2,
Φ airway clearance,
hides w/i host memb

Atyp PNA

otitis
rhinitis
pharyngitis
tracheobronch

(U) 5-20yo

Reservoir: p-to-p resp droplets

34
Q

M. pneumo diagnostic tests?
