E coli
Salmonella
Klebsiella
Group B strep
27
Q

Which are the urease positive organisms?

A 
Proteus
Cryptococcus
H pylori
Ureaplasma
Nocardia
Klebsiella
S epidermidis
S saprophyticus
28
Q

What does it mean to be catalase psotivie?

A

Catalase degrades H2O2 into H2O and bubbles of O2 before it can be converted to microbicidal products by the enzyme myeloperoxidase
People with chronic granulomatous disease have recurrent infections with certain catalase positive organisms

29
Q

What is Protein A and who expresses it?

A

Protein A binds Fc region of IgG, preventing opsonization and phagocytosis
Expressed by S aureus

30
Q

What is IgA protease and who expresses it?

A

Enzyme that cleaves IgA, allowing bacteria to adhere to and colonize mucous membranes
Secreted by S pneumo, H flu, and Neisseria

31
Q

What is M protein and who expresses it?

A

Helps prevent phagocytosis. Expressed by group A strep. Shares similar epitopes to human cellular proteins (molecular mimicry); possibly underlies the autoimmune response seen in acute rheumatic fever

32
Q

Which bacteria form spores?

A 
Bacillus anthracis
Bacillus cereus
Clostridium botulinum
Clostridium difficile
Clostridium perfringens
Clostridium tetani
33
Q

Inactive elongation factor (EF-2)

A 
C diphtheriae (Diphtheria toxin)
Pseudomonas (Exotoxin A)
34
Q

Inactivate 60s ribosome by removing adenine from rRNA

A

Shigella (Shiga toxin)

Enterohemorrhagic E coli (Shiga-like toxin)

35
Q

What is the difference between Shiga toxin and Shiga-like toxin?

A

Shigella causes GI mucosal damage leading to dysentery; ST also enhances cytokine release, causing HUS
In contrast, SLT enhances cytokine release but does not invade the host cells

36
Q

Overactivates adenylate cyclase (increasing cAMP), causing increased Cl- secretion in gut and H2O efflux

A

Enterotoxigenic E coli (heat-labile toxin)

37
Q

Overactivates guanylate cyclase (increasing cGMP), causing decreased NaCl and H2O resorption in gut

A

Enterotoxigenic E coli (heat-stable toxin)

38
Q

Mimics adenylate cyclase (increasing cAMP)

A

Bacillus anthracis (edema toxin)

39
Q

Overactivates adenylate cyclase (increasing cAMP) by permanently activating Gs leading to increased Cl- secretion in gut and H2O efflux

A

Vibrio cholerae (Cholera toxin)

40
Q

Overactivates adenylate cyclase (increasing cAMP) by disabling Gi, impairing phagocytosis to permit survival of microbe

A

Bordetella pertussis (Pertussis toxin)

41
Q

Proteases that cleave SNARE, a set of proteins required for neurotransmitter release via vesicular fusion

A 
Clostridium tetani (Tetanospasmin): toxin prevents release of inhibitory (GABA and glycine) neurotransmitters from Renshaw cells in spinal cord, leading to spastic paralysis, risus sardonicus, trismus (lockjaw)
Clostridium botulinum (Botulinum toxin): toxin prevents release of stimulatory (ACh) signals at neuromuscular junction, leading to flaccid paralysis
42
Q

Phospholipase that degrades tissue and cell membranes

A

Clostridium perfringens (Alpha toxin)

43
Q

Protein that degrades cell membrane

A

Streptococcus pyogenes (Streptolysin O)

44
Q

Cross-links beta region of TCR to MHC Class II on APCs outside of the antigen binding site, leading to oerwhelming rlease of IL-1, IL-2, IFN,gamma, and TNF-a, leading to shock

A 
Streptococcus pyogenes (Erythrogenic exotoxin A)
Toxic shock-like syndrome: fever, rash, shock; sclarlet fever
45
Q

Which bug is coag+ and novobiocin sensitive?

A

Staph epi

46
Q

Which bug is coag+ and resistant to novobiocin?

A

Staph saprophyticus

47
Q

Which bug has alpha hemolysis?

A

Alpha = green, partial hemolysis

Strep pneumo and Strep viridans

48
Q

Which bug is optochin sensitive? Optochin resistant?

A

Optochin sensitive: S pneumo

Optochin resistant: Strep viridans

49
Q

Which bug has beta hemolysis?

A

Beta hemolysis = complete hemolysis, clear
Strep pyogenes
Strep agalactiae

50
Q

Which bug is bacitracin sensitive? Bacitracin resistant?

A

Bacitracin sensitive: S pyogenes

Bacitracin resistant: Group B strep agalactiae

51
Q

Which bug has gamma hemolysis?

A

Gamma hemolysis = no hemolysis
S bovis
Enterococcus (E faecium, E faecalis)

52
Q

What does actinomyces cause?

A

Causal oral/facial abscesses that drain through the sinus tracts; often associated with dental caries/extraction and other maxillofacial trauma
forms yellow “sulfur granules”
can also cause PIDs with IUDs
