Bacteria Flashcards
Staphylococcus aureus
Gram Positive Cocci (clusters) Facultative located normally: Nose, skin endocarditis, osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, catheter associated infection Toxic shock-super antigen pathogenicity: adhesins, invasins, Digest tissue (produces toxin known as leukocidin which disgests tissue and pokes holes in the membrane) Biofilm from animal bite wounds
Staphylococcus epidermidis
Gram Positive Cocci (clusters) facultative located normally: Skin, Vaginia foreign body associated infection biofilm (glycocalyx)
streptococcus pyogenes
Gram Positive cocci (chains) microaerophilic located normally: Oropharynx Beta-Hemolytic (complete hemolysis) lancefield group A streptococci superantigen
Streptococcus agalactiae
Gram Positive cocci (chains) microaerophilic located normally: Vagina, Gut diabetic extremity infection, sepsis Beta- Hemolytic (complete hemolysis) lancefield group B streptococci Capsule
Streptococcus pneumoniae
Gram Positive cocci (pairs) facultative located normally: Nasopharynx community acquired pneumonia, meningitis Alpha- Hemolytic (partial hemolysis) capsule VACCINE
Streptococcus Bovis
Gram Positive cocci facultative/microaerophilic important infection: endocarditis Gamma Hemolytic (non-hemolytic) lancefield group D
Enterococcus Faecalis
Gram Positive cocci facultative located normally: Gut common infection: UTI, intra-abdominal infection, endocarditis more common than enteroccocus faecium Group D gamma hemolytic
Enterococcus faecium
facultative cocci Gram Positive cocci facultative located normally: Gut common infection: UTI, intra-abdominal infection, endocarditis Group D gamma hemolytic
Peptostreptococcus
Gram Positive cocci
Anaerobic
located normally: Oropharynx, Gut
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Gram Positive Bacilli Obligate Aerobe Acid fast bacteria Factors that contribute to virulence: Mycolic acid, wax, cord factor, arabinogalactans, and sulfolipids. TB prevent phagocytic killing
bacillus anthracis, B. subtilis, B. Cereus
Gram Positive Bacilli Aeroobic/ Facultative Found in: soil, contaminated food wound infections/ food poisoning spore formers (heat and drug resistant) VACCINE increase the release of cytokines inhibits phagocytosis B. anthracis has capsule made of polyglutamate
Corynebacterium diptheriae
Gram Positive Bacilli Aeroobic/ Facultative located normally: nasopharyngeal Diptheria Turns off protein synthesis VACCINE from human bite wounds
corynebacterium jekium
Gram Positive Bacilli Aeroobic/ Facultative Found in: skin, gut, vagina Opportunistic infection from human bite wounds
listeria monocytogenes
Gram Positive coccobacilli Aeroobic/ Facultative meningitis Comes from animals (zoonosis) Opportunistic infection biofilm prevent phagocytic killing
Clostridium botulinum
Gram Positive Bacilli Anaerobic located: contaminated food spore former decreases the release of NT
clostridium difficile
Gram Positive Bacilli Anaerobic located: Gut spore former ADR to antibiotic
Clostridium perfringens
Gram Positive Bacilli Anaerobic located: Gut gas gangrene spore former
Clostridium tetani
Gram Positive Bacilli Anaerobic located: soil tetanus spore former VACCINE
propionibacterium acnes
Gram Positive Bacilli
Anaerobic
located: skin
Acinetobacter
