Bacte Lec - Staph Flashcards
gram reaction of staph
positive
color of staph in gram stain
positive
gram + spherical cells which normally colonize the skin
micrococcus
morphology of micrococcus
cubes of 8
coagulase reaction of micrococcus
negative
coccus bacteria in marine environment
rarely assoc with human infection
planococcus
test to diff strep and staph
catalase test
catalase rxn of stapg
+
all staph are [aerobe or anaerobe]
facultative anaerobe
only obligate anaerobe staph
S. saprophyticus
hemolytic rxn of staph
beta or non-hemolytic
reaction of staph in catalase [describe]
bubble formation
catalase test not used on blood agar bec
blood has coagulase
rxn of staph on SIM
confined; not turbid
common isolate on wound infection
suppurative type of infection [pus-forming]
habitant of skin and mucous membrane
staph
found in environment on dust
inanimate objects
staph
single most impt test to differentiate pathogenic staph from other species
coagulase test
coagulase producing staph
Hyicus Aureus Delphini Intermedius Schleiferi
all coagulase producing staph are animal species except
aureus
virulence factors of staph [5]
enterotoxin exfoliative toxin cytolytic toxin enzymes protein A
type of VF
heat stable
enterotoxin
type of enterotoxin that are resistant to gastric acid and digestive juices
enterotoxin A and enterotoxin D
produce acid in the form of HCl
parietal cells
type of VF
phage group II
involvement of skin
formation of blisters
Exfoliative toxin
type of exfoliative toxin Observed among tampon
Toxic shock syndrome toxin 1
type of exfoliative toxin
sloughing off of epidermal layer of skin
scalded skin syndrome [Ritter disease]
epidermolytic
staph infection most observed where
skin
type of cytolytic toxin
platelets destroyed
alpha toxin/ hemolysin
type of cytolytic toxin
injury on most cells on culture and to leukocytes
less lethal
delta hemolysin
another name for leukocidin
Panton-Valentine
type of cytolytic
lethal to PMN [macrophage]
invasiveness of organism
Leukocidin
another name for beta hemolysin
hot cold lysin
attacks sphingomyelin of RBC membrane
beta hemolysin
enzymes as VF [3]
Coagulase
Hyaluronidase
Lipase
type of enzyme
clumping factor
virulence marker
coagulase
type of enzyme
coagulase + and coagulase -
acts on fats and oils
responsible for colonization
lipases
type of enzyme
hydrolyze hyaluronic acid
with exfoliation
tries to make skin loose so bacteria can spread
hyaluronidase
