Q

organs of the reticuloendothelial system (including the liver and spleen) are especially vulnerable to

A

Brucella spp. infection (Brucella spp. bacteria survive and replicate within macrophages)

17
Q

_______ is a possible complication of chronic brucellosis

A

osteomyelitis

18
Q

Treatment for brucellosis

A

doxycycline usually in conjunction with rifampin

19
Q

Francisella tularensis

A
  1. gram-negative
  2. zoonotic
  3. coccobacillus
  4. Faculative intracellular within macrophages
20
Q

______ are a common reservoir for Francisella Tularensis

21
Q

___ ______ are a common vector of Francisella Tularensis

A

Dermacentor ticks

22
Q

Tularemia can cause

A

painful skin ulcers and necrosis at the site of infection (often a Dermacentor tick bite)

23
Q

Francisella tularensis bacteria travel

A

Francisella tularensis bacteria travel through the lymphatic system within macrophages to reticuloendothelial organs (such as lymph nodes) and cause local necrosis and caseating granulomas

24
Q

Tularemia often presents with

A

painful regional lymphadenopathy

25
_________ are effective against Francisella Tularensis
aminoglycosides
