Chapt 8 I. D/Part 1 MMRS Flashcards
most skin infections are a result of what
mechanical injury but organisms cannot transverse skin
what organism is about to transverse skin?
larvae of Schistosoma
GI defense mechanisms
gastric acid, mucus layer, pancreatic enzymes, bile detergents, defensins, IgA, peristalsis, normal gut flora
organisms that adhere to GI wall, but don’t invade. they release exotoxins
V. Cholerae and escherichia coli
organisms that adhere to GI wall and invade causing dysentery (ulceration, inflamm, hemorrhage)
Shigella, Salmonella enterica, Campylobacter jejuni, entamoeba histolytica
organism that utilizes GI IgA uptake to invade host
poliovirus
organism responsible for acute food poisoning from exotoxin release
S. Aureus
organism that causes oral thrush and esophagitis usaully only when immunosuppressed
Candida
major defense of resp tract
mucus for large particles + ciliary action
resident macro
mech by which influenza virus leads to superinfection induced serious pneumonia
utilizes hemagglutinins to bind sialic acid on epithelial cells to induce endocytosis
damage increase susecptibility for infection by S. pneumoniae and S aureus
bacteria that secrete toxins to impair ciliary action in resp tract in order to enhance ability to infecct
Haemophilus influenzae, M. pneumoniae, Bordetella pertussis
organism resistant to killing after phagocytosis
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
what is the most common and efficient way for pathogen to disseminate in body
blood stream
S. Aureus disseminantes utilizing what mech
secretes hyaluronidase to degrade ECM and take path of least resistance -> spread through blood or lymphatic and bacteremia
virus that travel through nerves
poliovirus, rabies virus, varicella
free traveling blood-born pathogens
Most bac and fungi, poliovirus, HBV, African trypanosomes and helminths
blood born pathogen with leukocyte carriers
herpesvirus, HIV, mycobacteria and certain fungi and protozoa
blood born pathogen with red cell carrier
malarial parasites
Seeding; large infectious nidus verse multiple small sites
large = abscess and tuberuloma small = miliary tuberculosis and cadida microabscesses
Schistosoma mansoni dissemination and pathomech
localize to blood vessel in portal system and mesentery causing liver and intestinal damage
Hematobium dissemination and pathogenesis
localize to urinary bladder -> cystitis
most common route of transmission from person-to-person
resp, fecal-oral, sex
respiratory transmission; pathogens in large verse small droplets
large = influenza
small = M. tuberculosis and varicella zoster virus
small travel further
water-born pathogens
hepatitis A and E, poliovirus, rotavirus, V. cholera, Shigella, Campylobacter jejuni, salmonella, some helminthes
sexually transmitted pathogens
herpes simplex, HIV, HPV, Gonococcus, candida, arthopods (phthiris pubis and crab-lice)
pathogens that proliferate in saliva glands and transmit thrugh saliva
epstein-bar virus, rabies
Gram positive staining and components
positively blue
cytomembrane and THICK peptidoglycan wall
teichoic acid
Gram negative stain and components
No RED commies
cytomembrane, thin wall, outer membrane
LPS (O-specific side chain and Lipid A (endotoxin))
