21
Q

how do opportunistic Enterobacteriaceae cause infections?

A

inherently vulnerable organs/systems
wounds and necrotic tissue
tissues taken by other infections
septicemia in immunocompromised

22
Q

what does inflammation cause with iron?

A

shifts from circulation into storage
hypoferremia and iron-deficient erythropoiesis (iron deficiency without anemia)

23
Q

what can Klebsiella pneumonia cause? four things

wide range many species

25
Q

what is the pathogenesis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa?

A

entry via contact with contaminated water, devices, environment
breach in host defenses
adherence
colonization and replication
tissue damage

26
Q

how does Pseudomonas aeruginosa cause tissue damage?

A

toxin production: exoenzyme S (T3SS) and T2SS

27
Q

how does Pseudomonas aeruginosa cause localized damage?

A

exotoxin A: disrupts protein synthesis
phospholipase C: hemolysis
