cvm Flashcards
Early Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis Organisms (less than 1 yr)
1 Staph epidermis (Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus )
#2 Staph aureus
Late Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis Organisms - After 1 year of replacement
Staphylococcus spp.(epidermidis/ aurus)
*Streptococcus spp.(vidurians sanginis)
Enterococcus spp.
-potential fungi, parasites, intracellular bacteria
Native Valve endocarditis Organisms
*Staphylococcus spp. (epidermidis/ **aurus)
*Streptococcus spp. (vidrians/sangunis)
Enterococcus spp.
HACEK organisms(community acquired)
-potential fungi, parasites, intracellular bacteria
recent oral invasion procedure
strep vidrians
Optochin resistant
Viridans Streptococci
alpha hemolytic
most common cause of infective endocarditis due to strep
S. sanguinis
alpha hemolytic
primary etiological agent of dental caries
and dental plaques
S. mutans, S. Sanguinis
alpha hemolytic
AND HACKE -Haemophilus aphrophilus
novobiocin test
strep epideridis
Thickening or hardening of artery, loss of elasticity
Arteriosclerosis - umbrella term
calcification of tunica media of arteries
Monckeberg medial
calcific sclerosis (types of arteriosclerosis, not clinically singinifcant bc it doesnt spread to Intima)
Arteriosclerosis of the small arteries is due to what
Arteriolosclerosis due to hypertension
atheromas
Atherosclerosis, type of Arteriosclerosis
which vessels are most involved in artheromas
- The lower abdominal aorta and iliac arteries
- The coronary arteries
- The popliteal arteries
- The internal carotid arteries
- The vessels of the circle of Willis
Rheumatic heart disease
Strep. pyogenes (GAS)
GI procedure, colonoscopy, antibiotic resistance
Enterococcus (enteric microbiota)
- most commonly isolated, and causes 85-90% of
enterococcal infections - Particularly intensive care unit infections(highly resistant)
E. faecalis
- Responsible for 5 -10% of enterococcal infections *Displays event higher levels of antibiotic resistance
E. faecium
HACEK
- H aemophilus spp. #1
- A ggregatibacter #2
actinomycetemcomitans - C ardiobacterium hominis
- E ikenella corrodens
- K ingella kingae
all G-
Colonies with star shaped interior on solid media
Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans
G- bacilli
myocarditis differential diagnoisis
Acute Coronary Syndrome – ECG, cardiac biomarkers
microbial causes of myocarditis
*enterovirus(Coxsackievirus B) and other viruses are most common. bacteria is uncommon, parasites prominent in low income countries (Trypanosoma/Chagas, Toxoplasma)
Fungal, systemic mycoses: candida, aspergillus (immunocompromized)
microorganisms responsible for pericarditis
*Coxsackievirus A and B and other viruses. Sometime G+/- bacteria, not mycobacterium. Fungi in the immunocompromised(Blasto dermatitidis, Candida spp., Histoplasma capsulatum)
