Q

bug that is in abcesses from class

A

bacteroides

20
Q

difference between babies and adults in C botulinum

A

adult - toxins

babies - spores

21
Q

two results of C perfringens

A
  1. gas ganagrene - cellulitis, myonecrosis

2. food poisioning - toxin or bacteria

22
Q

alpha toxin - lectithinase

A

in C perfringens - damages membranes and is hemolytic

23
Q

acid labile diarehha bug

A

v. cholera

24
Q

examples of secretory diarrhea

A

cholera, ETEC, b cereus and s aureus

25
facts about v cholerae
gram negative curved bacillus, acid labilie, produces mucus, uses TCP pillae, does not penetrate gut, rice water diarrhea in small colon
26
facts about ETEC
like cholera, two toxins, uses fimbrie, in small bowel
27
why E coli can become a pathogen
1. virulence factors - toxins, adherence, entry | 2. extraintestinal colonization - pili and polysaccharide capsule
28
e coli K1
polysaccharide capsule seen in meningitis
29
two toxins in ETEC
heat labile - increase cAMP heat stabe - increase cGMP EL agua de san gabriel
30
guaiac test
for hemoglobin in stool
31
facts of non-typhoid salmonella
undercoked chicken, small intestine, entry into cells, extracellular and within, damage can lead to Cl- secretion - usually in immmunocompromised *type 3 secretion
32
splash and membrane rupture
salmonella
33
guillain barre and reactive arthiritis
campylobacter
34
facts of salmonella typhi
human to human, in gall bladder, fever, not always diarrhea, can spread systemically
35
dysentery
shigella
36
facts of shigella
acid resistant, invades M cellls, disrupts tight junctions, localized to GI, comet tail, type 3 secretion, shiga toxin inhibits pretein synthesis
37
sorbitol negative
EHEC
38
what is NOT treated with antibiotics
EHEC
39
bacteria that can grow in neutrophils
anaplasma
40
epithelial cell bugs
shigella, salmonella, chlamydia, listeria
41
listeria facts
pregnant women, intracellular pathogens, milk and cheeses, actin rockets, receptor driven uptake
42
internalins
on listeria for growth factor receptor or cell adhesion receptor
43
bugs that use type 3 secretion system to get in
salmonella, shigella
44
bug that hijacks material from endosomes
salmonella
45
bug that hijacks from trans golgi and ER
chlymidia
