A

S. mutans

19
Q

S. mutans classification

A

bacteria

Gram +

Cocci

Catalase -

alpha-hemolytic

bacitracin-resistant

S. mutans

20
Q

older men after genitourinary procedures

21
Q

Enterococcus species virulence factors

A

pili

surface proteins

extracellular enzymes

hyaluronidases

22
Q

Complications of what infection leads to rheumatic fever?

A

S. pyogenes pharyngitis

23
Q

S. pyogenes

classification

A

Bacteria

Gram +

Cocci

Coagulase -

Beta-hemolytic

bacitracin-sensitive

S. pyogenes

24
Q

Major unforgettable S. pyogenes virulence factor

A

M-protein

normally resists phagocytosis

antibodies to M-protein cross-react with mycardial meromyosin in some individuals and causes rheumatic heart disease

25
Q

M-protein in S. pyogenes normally…

A

resists phaogcytosis

26
Q

Sx of rheumatic fever

A

2-4 week post-strep

pain/swelling of large joints

fever

weakness

muscle aches

SOB

chest pain

N/V

hacking cough

circular rash

lumps under skin

27
Q

Rheumatic fever can cause what kind of damage to the mitral valve

A

stenosis

inability to open all the way

28
Q

Antibodies and rheumatic fever

A

formed against M-protein in S. pyogenes but cross-react with meromyosin in heart

29
