bacteria1 Flashcards
aka acquired in hospital
nosocomial
bacteria responsible for 95% of community acquired pneumonia
Strep pneumoniae
infections with this bacteria usually secondary to other alteration in tissue structure or function
endogenous bacteria
lack of this allows infiltration of intracellular organisms (like ricketssia and viruses)
cellular immunity
pyogenic cocci
Staphylococcus and Streptococcus
if you think about rice…think about this bacteria
Bacillus cereus
non-spore forming bacilli
Listeria and Corynebacteria
typical stain color for gram negative
red
typical stain color for gram positive
purple
diagnostic test between Staph and Strep
catalase
is Staph positive or negative catalase?
positive
is Strep positive or negative catalase?
negative
kind of inflammatory response in pyogenic cocci infection
suppurative
only pyogenic bacteria that has vaccine
Strep pneumonia
is Staph aureus positive or negative coagulase?
positive
is Staph epidermidis positive or negative coagulase?
negative
general diseases caused by Staph
abscess, bacteremia, toxin-mediated
system wide inflammatory response
sepsis
aka a boil
furuncle
aka multiple, connected boils
carbuncle
characterized by superficial skin/wound infection…leakage of protein-rich fluid that dries and becomes crusty (commonly transmitted between kids)
impetigo
common upper respiratory staphylococcal infections
sinusitis, otitis media, pharyngitis
symptoms of toxic shock syndrome
fever, diffuse macular rash, shock
examples of conditions caused by bacteremia from staphylococcal infection
acute endocarditis, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis
this group of strep can cause impetigo, GABHS
group A
this group of strep can cause perinatal sepsis/in newborns, UTIs
group B
enzymes in streptococal infection that contributes to ability to spread through tissues
streptokinase, streptolysin O/S
severe prolonged group A pharyngitis …typically 3-15 years old; erythrogenic toxin causes violaceous red rash on trunk
scarlet fever
hypersensitivity reaction where antibodies bind cells/tissue….rheumatic fever
II
hypersensitivity reaction in which immune complexes form
III
3 signs of acute renal failure
oliguria, hematuria, hypertension
time after streptococcal infection may get gloerulonephritis; what kind of hypersensitivity reaction is it?
1-2 weeks; III
symptoms of acute rheumatic fever
myocarditis and endocarditis
scrotal/perineal form of necrotizing fasciitis
Fournier’s gangrene
strep typically associated with subacute bacterial endocarditis
Strep viridans
does subacute bacterial endocarditis typically occur on right or left side of heart (typically in valves)
