deep wounds with fungal Flashcards
infection following crushing or impact
patient’s own organisms entered site or devitalized skin to make infection
what environment does penetrating injuries create
environment of nectrotic tissuie and hematomas
nectrotic tissuie and hematomas create an ideal condition for what bacteria
anaerobes
what bacteria are seen in post surgical wounds
staph aureus and enteric bacilli
what tissue do burns cause
non viable devasciularized tissues
what bacteria do non viable devascularized tissues from burns cause
pseudomonas aeruginaosa
what causes pus and what does it consist of
inflammation
consists of liquid with polymorphonulcear leukocytes and the debris of dead cells and tissue elements liquified by enzymes from leukocytes
what bacteria is seen in peritonsillar abscess
fusiforms, S.pyo, S. aureus, anaerobes and respiratory organisms
where are MIF wound cultures most from
collected close to the GI tract
when can we call MIF
2+ non pathogenic coliforms
OR
enterococci and one non pathogenic coliform

what is the nitrate reduction test
add reagent A+B turns red = pos (nitrATES -> nitRITES)
if neg add zinc
red w zinc = neg (no nitrites)
white w zinc = pos (reduced further)
what reagents are in the nitrate test
A = sulfanilic acid
B = α-naphthylamine
