G-c Flashcards
Moraxella/ Neisseria
Non motile, Aerobic, Capnophilic
Increase CO2- 5-10%
Neisseria
Neisseria is sensitive to
Cold and Cotton Swabs
its an effective and economical way of providing increased CO2
Candle Jar
Cold sensitive
Non-hemolytic
most species are CHO fermenters
Genus Neisseria
Neisseria spp that develop pigmented colonies
N. flava, N. flavescense, N. subflava
Neisseria is routinely used to isolate in
CAP
Neisseria spp. are all Catalase test and Cytochrome Oxidase Positive except
N. elongata
cat (-) COP (-)
to speciate Neisseria what
- test is used
- MEDIA used
- Indicator
- Positve and Negative result
- CHO UTILIZATION TEST
- Cystine Trypticase Agar (CTA)
- Phenol red
- (+) Yellow (-) Red
Weakly positve in Superoxol Test
N. meningitidis, N. lactamica
Oxidase (+) morphologically and biochemically resembles Neisseria
Moraxella
Moraxella is Catalase and on BAP??
Catalase (+)
Gamma Hemolytic
Neisseria is negative in Butyrate disk test because of
COLISTIN
Moraxella; (+)
Positive color of Butyrate Disk Test/ Tributyrin test
BLUE
(+) Smear in ____ male is considered diagnostic of gonorrhoea
SYMPTOMATIC
these organisms are GRAM NEG COCCI often seen in PAIRS Adjascent sides are flattened producing Kidney Bean shaped
Neisseria
sensitive to DRYING, COLD, CHEMICAL (disinfectants and antiseptics
N. gono, N. mening
swabs that are less inhibitory than calcium alginate and cotton and are prefered for collection
Dacron and Rayon Swab
primary gonococcal infection of the conjunctiva of newborns
Opthalmia Neonatorum
plates of Neisseria are incubated at (_______) carbon dioxide, humidified atmosphere
35degC in a 3-5% CO2
flat, smooth, glistening and gray to white
N. meningitidis
transmitted by RESPIRATORY DROPLETS. the onset is abrupt w/ headache, stiffneck and fever.
Petechial skin lesions may be present
Meningococcal meningitis
this condition may progress to DIC
Meningococcemia
Similar growth requirements w/ N. gonorrhoeae, but grows in both CAP/BAP
N. mening
part of the normal UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT FLORA may cause otitis media, sinusitis and respiratory infections
M. cattar
