Bacterio7 Flashcards
T or F
Pseudomonas can grow on macconkey agar but it’s not an enterobacteriacea
True
Pseudomonas belong to the family of ……. and grow on ——
Pseudomonads
Fomites
T or F
Pseudomonas is a nosocomial infection
True
T or F
Pseudomonas can cause skin infections on intact skin
False
Pseudomonas are (aerobic/anaerobic)——(spore forming/not)—– and can live on (high/low) temperatures
Aerobic
Non spore forming
High temp
List the virulence factors for pseudomonas
1-alginate Capsule (fluffy slime and biofilms)
2-Pigments (structural virulence factors)(pyorubin,pyomelanin,pyocyanin and pyoveridin)
3- exotoxin A (acts on EF2 like DT)
Exotoxins all sites
LPS
Pilli
Role of:
Pyocyanin:
Pyoveridin:
Pyocyanin : release of IL8
Pyover: is a siderophore, transports iron
T or F
Pseudomonas secrete exotoxins that affects all sites
True
List the 2 resistance mechanisms pseudomonas use with antibiotics
- efflux
- ampC
We never treat pseudomonas by 1 antibiotic, list the antibiotics we can use :
Piperacillin Aztreonam Imipinem Meropenem Ciprofloxacin Plus ceftazidimee
T or F
Pseudomonas is a MDR
True
In a nosocomial settings, Pseudomonal infections can cause: 1- 2- 3- 4- 5- 6-
1-pneumonia 2-otitis externa 3-UTIs 4-ecthyma gangrenosum 5- diabetic foot infection 6-keratinisis

should be treated by ….. antibiotics
Diabetic
Malignant otitis externa
Mastoid
PO
……. patients have high risk of developing biofilms of pseudomonas especially in repiratory tract
Cystic fibrosis
