staph enderotoxin
causes food poisosing from preformed staph toxin, from improperly stored food, 4 hours after eating
exfoliative toxin
in staph, causes blisters

types of issues in Strep A infections
- Skin and mucous membrane infections (impetigo)
- deep tissue infetions (nec fas, cellulitis)
- toxigenic (scarlet fever, toxic shock)
- PSGN
- rheumatic fever

pneumolysin
pore forming toxin of pneumococcus that impairs mucociliary clearance and kills neutrophils
drugs used to treat pseudomonas

currant jelly sputum
klebsiela
two aerobic gram negatives talked about in class
pseudomonas and klebsiella
bug that is in abcesses from class
bacteroides
difference between babies and adults in C botulinum
adult - toxins
babies - spores
two results of C perfringens
- gas ganagrene - cellulitis, myonecrosis
2. food poisioning - toxin or bacteria
alpha toxin - lectithinase
in C perfringens - damages membranes and is hemolytic
