- veillonella spp.
34
Which type of bacteria are characterized as gram negative anaerobic bacilli?
- bacteroides spp. - fusobacterium spp. - prevotella spp.
35
Which type of bacteria are considered gram negative aerobic bacilli enterobacterales and are lactose-fermenters (oxidase negative)?
- citrobacter spp. - enterobacter spp. - E. coli - Klebsiella spp. - think CEEK out lactose
36
Which type of bacteria are considered gram negative aerobic bacilli enterobacterales and are nonlactose-fermenters?
- morganella morganii - proteus spp. - providencia spp. - salmonella spp. - serratia marcescens - shigella spp.
37
Which type of bacteria are characterized as gram negative non enteric aerobic bacilli, lactose-fermenters (oxidase positive)?
- aeromonas hydrophila - pasteurella multocida - vibrio cholerae
38
Which type of bacteria are characterized as gram negative non enteric aerobic bacilli, nonlactose-fermenters?
- pseudomonas spp. - acinetobacter spp. - alcaligenes spp. - burkholderia cepacia - stenotrophomas maltophilia
39
Which type of bacteria are characterized as gram negative non enteric aerobic bacilli, fastidious
- campylobacter - helicobacter - bartonella - HACEK organisms (haemophilus, actinobacilius, cardiobacterium, eikenella, kingella)
40
Which bacteria are considered atypical?
-chlamydia pneumoniae - chlamydia trachomatis - legionella pneumophila - mycoplasma pneumoniae
41
Which bacteria are characterized as spirochetes?
- treponema pallidum - borrelia burgdorferi
42
Which type of gram negative bacteria are the predominate pathogen?
gram negative bacilli
43
How is lactose fermentation important?
helps identify enterobacterales from non-fermenting rods
44
What is special about fastidious organisms?
slow growers, require special supplemental media
45
What are penicillin binding proteins?
enzymes vital for cell wall synthesis, cell shape, and structural integrity
46
What are the different types of penicillin biding proteins?
- transpeptidases - carboxypeptidases - endopeptidases
47
What is the relationship between the PBPs of graam positive and gram negative bacteria?
no relationship, differ from bacterial species to another
48
Binding to which PBPs induce a bactericidal effect?
1A, 1B, 2, and 3
49
Which PBP is the most important?
Transpeptidase (catalyzes the final cross linking in the peptidoglycan structure)
50
Cytoplasmic Membrane
- acts as selective barrier - certain drugs must pass through to reach target site
51
Peptidoglycan Layer (cell wall)
- Gram Positive: thick - Gram negative: thin - Permeability barrier for large molecules - PBPs are essential for cell-wall synthesis
52
Outer membrane
- gram negative bacteria only - LOPS is the mediator of immune response and sepsis - porins are hydrophilic channels that permit diffusion of essential nutrients and small hydrophilic molecules
53
Periplasmic Space
- Compartment between cell membrane and cell wall (gram positive) - between cell membrane and outer membrane (gram negative)
54
What is the periplasmic space vital for?
- Vital for bacterial protein secretion, folding, quality control - acts as reservoir for virulence factors
55
What is the definition of intrinsic resistance
always resistant to given antibiotic
56
What is the mechanism of intrinsic resistance?
- absence of target site - bacterial cell impermeability
57
What are examples of intrinsic resistance?
- cephalosporins vs enterococci - beta lactams vs mycoplasma
58
What is the definition of acquired resistance?
initially susceptible but develop resistance due to some mechanism
59
What is the mechanism of aquired resistance?
- mutation in bacterial DNA (spontaneously vs selective pressure) - Acquisition of new DNA (chromosomal or extrachromosomal plasmid)
60
What are examples of aquired resistance?
- stable derepression of AmpC - acquisition of KPC gene in GNRs
61
Plasmid Acquired Resistance
- self-replicating, extrachromosomal DNA - transferable between organisms - one plasmid can encode resistance to multiple antibiotics (resistance genes)
62
Transposons Acquired Resistance
- jumping genes - genetic elements capable of translocating from one location to another - move from plasmid to chromosome or vice versa - single transposon may encode multiple resistance determinants
63
Phages Acquired Resistance
- viruses that can transfer DNA from organism to organism
64
Conjugation Acquired Resistance
- direct contact or mating via sex pili - most common - DNA shared via mobile genetic elements (MGE) such as plasmids or transposons
65
Transduction Acquired Resistance
- transfer of genes between bacteria by bacteriophage (virus)
66
Transformation Acquired Resistance
- transfer or uptake of free floating DNA from the environment - DNA is integrated into host DNA
