why Exotoxins of E coli are called Heat labile and heat stable ? meaning of this ?
🔬 Heat-Labile (LT) vs. Heat-Stable (ST) Exotoxins in E. coli
-
💨 Heat-Labile (LT): Denatured @ >60°C
- Activates Gsα → ↑cAMP
- ⬆ Cl⁻ secretion, H₂O efflux → Watery diarrhea
- Similar to Cholera toxin
- Encoded by plasmid
-
🔥 Heat-Stable (ST): Resistant to heat (Stable @ 100°C)
- Activates Guanylate cyclase → ↑cGMP
- ⬇ Na⁺ reabsorption → Watery diarrhea
- Types: STa (human) & STb (animal)
- Encoded by plasmid or transposon
🦠 Diseases: Traveler’s diarrhea (ETEC)
💊 Tx: Supportive, rehydration, ± fluoroquinolones

which bacteria is suspected if colour of macconkey agar media in translucent ?
🦠 MacConkey Agar Interpretation
🔍 Translucent/Colorless Colonies = Non-lactose fermenter (NLF) → Possible Pathogen
🚨 Suspected Bacteria (Gram-negative rods):
1️⃣ Salmonella 🥚 (H2S + on TSI)
2️⃣ Shigella 💩 (H2S -)
3️⃣ Proteus (Swarming, Urease +)
4️⃣ Pseudomonas aeruginosa 💚 (Oxidase +, Fruity odor)
🧪 Confirmatory Tests: TSI, H2S, Urease, Oxidase, API

how urine sample collected ?
early morning mid-stream urine sample - 5ml - clean dry sterile screw cap container - sterelized test tube
urine sample should be properly labeled
to avoid contamination - urine should be collected after proper cleansing of genitalia
