penicillium and aspergillus
Neurologic imbalances

23
Q

gliotoxin is produced by ___ and causes ___

A

aspergillus, immunosuppression

24
Q

what type of samples a are typically collected for mycology and virology

A

skin Or hair samples

25
if you are submitting samples for virus isolation like swabs or fluid it is important to place it in an appropriate viral transport media. This liquid media helps prevent __, stabilizes ___ and limits ___
prevent bacterial growth, stabilizes pH, limits enzymatic degradation
26
if you are submitting samples for PCR or rt-PCR it is best to place in appropriate viral transport media which prevents ___
enzymatic breakdown of viral DNA and more importantly RNA which is highly fragile
27
it is best to send PCR or rt-PCR samples how
chilled or frozen, overnight
28
if you are collecting samples during surgery or necropsy for fluorescent antibody testing it is best to ___these samples and get to lab within __
freeze or chill, 24hrs
29
what technique can be used at everyday clinics to identify suspected fungal infection
diff-quick stain
30
what wet mount technique can quickly identify dermatophytes and how does it work
KOH- place sample and a few drops of 10% KOH on slide which digests away keratin and makes fungal structures in hair, skin or toenails easier to see. Allow to sit for several minutes, then heat and cover with coverslip
31
What species does wood lamp detect
microsporum spp and malasseiza
32
how does woods lamp work
will fluoresce green as a result of porphyrins produced by agents
33
describe a dermatophyte test medium
culture plate with two sides 1. One side with SDA- permit fungal agents to grow 2. SDA with cyclohexamide to restrict growth of environmental fungi, restrict bacterial growth and a phenol red pH indicator Dermatophytes produce alkaline byproduct and will turn agar from yellow to bright red
34
t or f: not all growth that runs the DTM plate red is a dermatophyte
true
35
t or f: all whitish colonies on DTM plates are dermatophytes
false
36
t or f: not all dermatophytes turn the DTM plate red
true
37
what color will Candida albicans turn on chromagar plate
green
38
what color will candida tropicalis turn on chromagar plate
steel blue
39
what color will candida krusei turn on chromagar plate
rose, fuzzy
40
what color will malasseizia pachydermatis turn on chromagar
pink/purple
41
what is one of the only species to produce a germ tube
Candida albicans
42
what is purpose of germ tube
Virulence factor- allows organism to invade mucous membranes
43
what two stains are used to highlight fungal organisms in tissue sections
1. Gomori methenamine silver (GMS) 2. Periodic acid shiff (PAS)
44
how does GMS stain work
1. Apply chromic acid which oxidizes fungal cell wall polysaccharides to produce aldehydes 2. Aldehydes reduce methenamine silver nitrate to metallic silver 3. Fungal cell walls brown/black color 4. Counterstain with fast green
45
how does PAS stain work
1. Use chromic acid to reduce cell wall polysaccharides to aldehydes 2. Counterstain with fuschin to stain purple
46
how do you do IHC
1. Pretreat sample to expose antigens 2. Incubate with primary antibody that is labeled with enzyme that produces a color change when treated with substrate 3. Incubate with primary antigen 4. Wash slides and treat with substrate- ACE for red, DAB for brown color
47
Monoclonal antibodies are more ___whereas polyclonal antibodies are more ___
specific, sensitive
48
the agar gel immunodiffusion assay is technique used to detect ___
antibodies against some agents in animal serum
49
how does AGID work
place antigen of interest in center well and then in surrounding wells place patient serum. If the antibodies present in patient serum match antigen in well then a white line/precipitate will form between them
50
Are AGID and immunohistological stains qualitative or quantitative
Qualitative
51
AEC primary antibody stain turns antigens what color
red
52
DAB primary antibody stain turns antigens what color
brown
