Bacteria Flashcards
Amoeba
Onset?
Onset: Days to weeks.
Bacillus cereus Sounds like a dinosaur Gram Stain? Aerobe/Anaerobe? Onset? Location of High Incidence? Primary Virulence?
Gram + Dinosaurs give us gasoline, which we need = +
Obligate Aerobe Dinosaurs needed oxygen to live
Onset: Minutes to Hours The meteor that killed dinos affected them within minutes to hours
Location of high incidence: Rice, meat, vegetables (soil), Honey Think of Mexico where the meteor hit, think of Luis’ fave healthy foods
Primary Virulence: Neurotoxin, Enterotoxin Dinosaurs have a small brain and a big gut
Bacteriodes fragilis
Gram Stain?
Shape?
Aerobe/Anaerobe?
Think “fragile”
Gram - Fragile bacteria are overly cautious and negative
Rod - fragile people break easily, so they’re rod (skinny) shaped
Obligate Anaerobe They’re such fragile introverts, that they cannot go near oxygen
Campylobacter Gram Stain? Shape? Aerobe/Anaerobe/Microaerophile? Onset? Location of High Incidence? Primary Virulence?
Gram - Camping is a negative experience
Curved But, camping can curve for the better
Microaerophile
Onset: A day or so… When camping, you get sick within a day
Location of high incidence: Water, Raw Milk, Poultry, Pets You camp with your pets, near a river (water), with Lars’ raw milk and a chicken?
Primary Virulence: First letter - Campylobacter = Cytotoxin (dysentery - bloody and mucous diarrhea)
Clostridium perfringenes Gram stain? Bacterial shape? Aerobe or Anaerobe? Onset? Location of high incidence? Primary Virulence? Symptoms?
Spore forming
Gram + Clause is a positive thinker
Rod Clause is very skinny
Obligate Anaerobe Clause always has his head in books, so he NEVER (obligate) breaths
Onset: Several Hours Clause reads many books in several hours
Location of high incidence: Meats (hamburgers especially), Soils, Human Colon. Count Olaf asked for Roast BEEF (meat) but the kids made him something more natural (soil)
Primary Virulence: Enterotoxin, Cytotoxin, Neurotoxin, Exotoxin Clause is so smart that he causes everything
Symptoms: Food poisoning - diarrhea, nausea, stomach cramps. The Buadilares which the pasta had coasted Count Olaf food poisoning.
E. Coli Gram Stain? Aerobe/Anaerobe? Location of High Incidence? Primary Virulence?
E. Coli found in poop
Gram - E. Coli is well known by all to be bad = negative
Facultative Anaerobe. E. Coli is so bad and tough that it doesn’t need in oxygen, but it can if it needs to.
Location of high incidence: Beef (older cows - hamburgers especially), Raw Milk, Produce. E. Coli is so ruthless that it attacks old lady cows, their milk, and the produce they eat.
Primary Virulence: First letters - E. Coli = Enterotoxin, Cytotoxin.
Giardia Lamblia
Onset?
Onset: Days to weeks
I noticed SnuggaDoo’s stinky farts within either Days or Weeks from when I got him, I don’t remember.
Klebsiella pneumoniae
Gram Stain?
Aerobe/Anaerobe?
Klebsiella - think of the CLUB
Gram - I don’t like clubs = negative
Facultative Anaerobe People are so close in the club that there is not oxygen, but when they leave there is oxygen. - live without oxygen, but can live in it.
Norwalk Virus
Onset?
Onset: A day or so …
Luis lived in Norwalk, CA, which is a day or so trip from here to get to.
Rotavirus
Onset?
Onset: A day or so…
Fresh food will ROT within a day, if not refrigerated.
Salmonella Gram Stain? Shape? Aerobe/Anaerobe? Onset? Location of High Incidence? Primary Virulence?
Gram - Salmon have too much mercury for preggers women = negative
Rod Salmon are long fish = rod shaped
Facultative Anaerobe Salmon don’t “need” oxygen, but they’re not poisoned by it.
Onset: A day or so … Sometimes quicker It takes a day of fishing (sometimes quicker) to catch a salmon
Location of High Incidence? Poultry, Eggs, Meats, Milk, Produce Other foods that make preggers women sick
Primary Virulence: Enterotoxin Salmon makes preggers women stomach sick
Shigella dysenteriae Gram Stain? Aerobe/Anaerobe? Onset? Location of High Incidence? Primary Virulence?
Shig”ELLA” = Cinderella
Gram - Cinderella is not a good story to tell young girls = negative
Facultative Anaerobe Cinderella lived at her stepmother’s house where she normally breathed oxygen, but she slept in the attack where she didn’t get oxygen - live in oxygen, but don’t need it.
Onset: A day or so … Sometimes Longer. It took her a day or so to accomplish her chores, but sometimes longer if her stepmother gave her something harder.
Primary Virulence: Cytotoxin (Dysentery), Enterotoxin = CinderElla
Staph aureus
Gram Stain? Shape? Aerobe/Anaerobe? Onset? Location of High Incidence? Primary Virulence? Symptoms?
Loki (Thor’s bro) holds a STAPH
Gram +. He’s actually a good guy = positive
Cocci. He’s a male
Facultative Anaerobe. He lives in space where he doesn’t need oxygen, travels to earth a lot = lives without oxygen, but can live in it too.
Onset: Minutes to Hours. Within minutes to hours, he will try to kill/fight with Thor.
Location of high incidence: Meats, Milk Products (like cream puffs), Fatty Foods. He is very skinny (healthy) and likes to infect people who eat fatty foods.
Primary Virulence: Food Handlers, Neurotoxin, Cytotoxin. Loki “Never Cries”
Symptoms: Scalded Skin Syndrome, Bullous impetigo, Food poisoning, leads to MRSA.
Vibrio cholera Gram Stain? Shape? Aerobe/Anaerobe? Location of High Incidence? Primary Virulence?
Vivian from Legacy Retirement
Gram - Vivian was very cranky and negative
Curved Rod. She was a curvy woman
Facultative Anaerobe. Vivian was so mean that she didn’t like to breath oxygen with other people, except when she came down for dinner.
