EIA
detection of Campylobacter spp. From clinical specimens
PRC amplification
used to detect antigens in stool samples for several days
EIA

Agar
Campy CVA
cephalothin,
vancomycin, and amphotericin B
Helicobacter is associated with?
antral gastritis
duodenal (peptic) ulcer dx
gastric ulcers
gastric carcinome
best spx for helicobacter diagnosis
antral biopsy
Biopsy urease test
(+) :
Pink color
Helicobacter
Antigen detection
Warthin-Starry or other silver stains and Giemsa
stains to examine biopsy specimens
urea breath test
analysis of stool samples before and after
antimicrobial therapy
Helicobacter
Nononvasive moleculapr tests
PCR-based methods
Real-time PCR
is the primary antibody found in your H. pylori
infection
IgG
Helicobacter
techniques in antibody detection
ELISA
immunoblot
rapid tests using latex agglutination or
flow-through membrane-based enzyme
immunoassay
agent of “whooping cough”
B. pertussis
Bordet-Gengou bacillus
B. pertussis
Bordetella
3 stages
Catarrhal
Paroxysmal
Convalescent
prodromal stage
general flu-like symptoms
Catarrhal
repetitive coughing ep
whooping inhalation
paroxysmal
recovery phase
convalescent
rare complications in bordetalla
encephalitis
bordetlla
ideal spx
nasopharyngeal aspirates or nasopharyngeal swab
bodetalla
colonies
small, shiny colonies resembling tiny drop
of mercury
has been found to work best for
recovery of B. pertussis from nasopharyngeal swabs
Regan-Lowe agar
is superior to methicillin and penicillin for
inhibiting normal respiratory flora
cephalexin
potato glycerol blood agar
Border-Gengou agar
used not only
for the isolation of your Bordetella but also for the
transport
Modified Jones-Kendrick charcoal
media used for the primary isolation of
Bordetella
Modified Stainer-Scholte
medium with cyclodextrin and
cephalothin
best method of prevention for pertussis
vaccination
cause of pertussis-like syndrome
B. parapertussis
inhabits respiratory tract of
canines (kennel’s cough), infrequently responsible
for chronic respiratory tract infections in humans (rare
to cause infection in humans)
B. bronchiseptica
undulant fever or malta fever
Brucellosis
Brucella
humans acquire infections through
ingestion of
contaminated animal products, including meats
and milk; farmers can directly acquire infections
through direct animal contact
Brucella
culture media
BAP , TSA, BACTEC 9240, BacT/Alert,
castaneda medium, Wisconsin medium, and TSB
Brucella
