entry and spread Flashcards
S. aureus multiplication
can grow in almost any tissue site
S. aureus entry
entry via skin to skin contact, injury from contaminated object, inhalation, ingestiion
S. pyogenes multiplication
extracellular growth on mucous membranes, skin, deep tissue
S.pyogenes entry
person to person via respiratory droplets, skin to skin contact, contact w/ fomite
S. pneumoniae multiplication
extracellular growth on mucous membranes of respiratory tract or in blood
S. pneumoniae entry
person to person through respiratory droplets
B. anthracis entry
point source via innoculation of spores into break in skin, inhalation, ingestion (rare)
B. cereus multiplication
can grow in almost any tissue site
B. cereus entry
ingestion of contaminated food
L. pneumophila multiplication
intracellular growth in alveolar macrophages, prevents maturation of phago-lysosome
L. pneumophila entry
inhalation of aerosols of contaminated water
L. monocytogenes multiplication
intracellular growth in intestinal epithelial cells, M-cells, macrophages, neutrophils, replicates in cytoplasm - escapes the phagosome
L. monocytogenes entry
ingestion of contaminated food
M. tuberculosis multiplication
intracellularly in colonies of alveolar macrosphaes, replicating in specialized vacuole and/or possibly cytosol - resistance to phagolysosome digestion components, prevent maturation of phagolysosome
M. tuberculosis entry
human to human spread via inhalation of contaminated respiratory secretions
C. diphtheriae multiplication
extracellular in oropharynx
C. diphtheriae entry
inhalation of contaminated respiratory droplets
B. pertussis multiplication
extracellular
B. pertussis entry
inhalation of contaminated respiratory droplets
E. coli multiplication
extracellular (ETEC, EPEC, EHEC), intracellular (UPEC)
E. coli entry
ingestion, wound infections, endogenous (EPEC person to person)
S. enterica ssp. enterica multiplication
intracellular in intestinal epithelial cell, M-cells, leukocytes
S. enterica ssp. enterica entry
ingestion of contaminated food or water
Y. pestis multiplication
extracellular in lymphatic system
Y. pestis entry
infected flea bite or aerosolized respiratory droplets
Shigella spp. multiplication
intracellular in intestinal epithelial cells
Shigella spp. entry
person to person or via ingestion of contaminated food or water
C. perfringens multiplication
extracellular anaerobic growth in soft tissue or intestinal tract
C. perfringens entry
wound infection by spores
C. tetani multiplication
extracelluar anarobic
C. tetani entry
point object
C. difficile multiplication
extracellular anaerobic growth in colon (large intestine)
C. difficile entry
ingestion or normal flora, facilitated by antibiotics
C. botulinum multiplication
spores germinate IN FOOD SOURCE - exception infant botulism - spores germinae in intestine
C. botulinum entry
ingestion of toxin contaminated food, ingestion of spores (infant only)
N. gonorrheae multiplication
extracellularly in mucosal bsolateral surfaces of urogenital tract
N. gonorrheae entry
sexual contact w/ infected individual
N. meningitidis multiplication
extracellularly in mucosal bsolateral surfaces of upper respiratory tract
N. meningitidis entry
inhalation of contaminated respiratory droplets
T. pallidum multiplication
extracellular and intracellular
T. pallidum entry
human to human spread via sexual contact or maternal transfer to child
Influenza multiplication
genome transcribed and replicated in nucleus
Influenza entry
inhalation of contaminated respiratory droplets (human to human for A, B, C, animal to human is possible for type A only
measles multiplication
infects macrophages and dendritic cells of respiratory tract, submucosa, then disseminates via lymph and blood - genome uncoats in cytoplasm
measles entry
inhalation of contaminated respiratory droplets
