Zoonotic
respiratory
soil and water
Endotoxin
All have outer membrane lipopolysaccharide of cell wall
Aerobic gram neg. non enteric bacili
Pseudomonas, francisella, bordetlla and legionella
Pseudomonas
opportunistic pathogens
francisella
Zoonotic pathogens ( Animal vector)
Bordetella and legionella
mainly human pathogens
Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

Is P. Aeruginosa opportunistic
Yes
What is the commo cause of nosocomial infections in host…
burns, neoplastic disease and cystic fibrosis
complications include

what oder does it have
Grape like order, greenish-blue pigment and multi drug resistant
Realted gram negative aerobic rods
Acinetobacter, francisella, stenotrophpmonas and bordetella
Obligate aerobes
Do not ferment sugars and they are opportunistic
Acinetobacter Baumanii
nosocomial and community acquired inf
What are the portals of entery for A. baumanii
Wounds, lungs, urinary tract, burns and blood
Is A. Baumanii resistant
Yes Extermly resistant and treatment with combo antimicrobials
What is the most recent outbreak of A. baumanii
Carbapenem-resistant strains
what is carbapenem?
-Borad spectrum beta lactam antibitoic ( effective againts gram pos. and gram neg.)
- inacrivated by caebapenemases
Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia
nosocomial and community acquired infections that form bioflims

S. Maltophilia is contaminat of
- Disinfectants ( can grow in anti microbial soap containing triclosan)
- Dialysis equptment
- Respiratory equip.
- Catheters
_ water dispensers
Clinical isolate in
respirtaory soft tissue, blood and CSF
Is it highly resistance to drugs
Yes to multipule
Francisella Tularensis
causes TULAREMIA
Tularemia
Zoonotic disease of mammals endemic to northern hemosphere, Rabbits = rabbits fever
Is it infectious or rare
Rare and very infectous.
What can tularemia attack
Skin, eyes, lymph nodes, lungs and less ofetn, other internal organs
How is it transmitted
Contact with infected animals, water, dust w/comtamiated soil, INSECT BITES and tick bites
What is the death rate
10% SYSTEMIC AND PULMONIC FORMS
How to cure
Vaccine and is a potential bioterrosim agent
Bordetella pertussis
Minute, encapusalted coccobacillus, often severe life threatening complications in BABIES
What does B. pertussis cause
PERTUSIS OR Whooping cough, communicable childhood affliction
B. Pertussis is what type of acute synrome
respiratory syndrome
B. Pertussi reservoir
Apparently healthy carriers
B. Pertussis transmitted by
DIrect contact or inhalation of aerosols
Whooping cough Virulence factors
Bind to ciliated respiratory epithelial cells , toxins destory and disloge cells
Whooping cough does what for the airways
Loss of ciliary mechanism leads to buildup of mucus and blockage of airway ( BAD FOR BABIES)
