Q

How would you test for E.coli

A

Dipstick test
Nitrite and leukocyte postive
If negative would be because it’s from a grams positive bacteria (staphylococcus saprophyticus)

Q

What would be the mechanism of MHC1

A

APC
Cancer cells of the virus cells
Would engulf pathogen, antigens on the surface
Would have the cytotoxins that would apoptosis
FasL and Fas would allow apoptosis

Q

What is staphylococcus aureus in relation to catalase and coagulase

A

Positive catalase
Positive coagulase

22
Q

What is staph epidermis in relation to catalase and coagulase

A

Catalase positive
Coagulase negative

23
Q

What is streptococcus and staph pneumonia in relation to catalase and coagulase

A

Catalase negative
Coagulase negative

24
Q

What other bacteria can cause e.coli

A

Staphylococcus saprophyticus

25
How can you tell the difference between the E.coli and the staph saprophyticus infections for a UTI
E.coli would be nitrite positive Staphylococcus saprophyticus is nitrite negative
26
Why is vancomycin a good antibiotic to use for clostridium difficle
Would not be absorbed C.diff acts in the intestine so would be able to go there and all can be used
27
What type of virus is adenovirus
The double stranded DNA non-enveloped virus
28
What is the function of the gram negative bacteria that would cause sepsis
Gram negative would have the endotoxins They would die and release the liposaccrides They would then stimulate the cytokines Would lead to al the issues
29
How would staph aureus cause the pneumonia
Comensal So when would have the broken skin, could get into the lungs
30
What would mainly be used to treat pneumonia (strep pneumonia)
Amoxicillin/clauvante
31
What would not be killed by the alcohol gels
Spores Hep a
32
What disease could dental treatment cause
The endocarditis Would need to the antibiotic prophylaxis (stops the infections of the bacteria)
33
What is neutropenia and what would it be caused by
The low neutrophils Chemotherapy (would kill the neutrophils) Abnormal tachycardia, hypotension, diarrhoea
34
What can be used to treat neutropenia
The Tazocin (mainly for the gran negative) After 48 hours would want to use the vancomycin (would be more broad)
35
What is legionnaires disease
Would be gram negative rods Intracellular parasite Would live on the body’s of water Would lead to the chest infections
36
What are NK cells and cytotoxic T-cells
Cells of the adaptive immune system that would drive the cell to apoptosis
37
What is the verification system on the NK cells and the cytotoxic T cells
The FAS L and the FAS FAS L - on the T cell FAS - on the pathogen Without the fasL/FAS would not have apoptosis
38
What enzymes are made by the NK cells and the cytotoxic T cells
Perforin and granzymes
39
What is the function of perforin and granzymes
They would punch holes in the cell membranes and that would lead to the death of the pathogen
40
What interleukin do t-cells produce no what does it do
The IL-2 Would be the CD25 receptor Allows the Proliferation of the T cells
41
What are 2 ways that T-cells would recognise self antigens
Attach to the B-cell and would activate it when they recognise the antigen presented as self In the thymus, if they recognise the antigens on the dendritic cells (as they would be recognising the self antigens here)
42
What is the mediacation given for Neisseria meningitidis and why
Ceftriaxone as would be able to penetrate the csf best (Neisseria gram negative diplocci)
43
Where would Neisseria meningitidis be found
Nasopharyngeal region
44
What are cytotoxic T cells
Attach to the CD8 cells Need MHC1 to act Would produce the perforin and the granzymes
45
What type of bacteria is clostridium difficle and what would you use to treat
Gram positive bacillius Cephalosporins or vancomycin (oral)
46
What type of bacteria is Neisseria meningitidis
Gram negative diploccoci
47
What is the function of erythromycin.
No protein synthesis Can be used instead of penicillin and would allow the intracellular penetration
48
What are the types of bacteria resistance
Intrinsic - would not have a sight for the antibiotic to work Acquired - would have mutation or no sight for the antibiotic to work Adaptive - when would become exposed to the antibiotic
49
What are bacteriostatic antibiotics
Would stop the growth and replication of the bacteria
50
What is the mechanism of doxycycline
Stops protein synthesis Used for parasites (p.falciparum)
51
What bacteria can be used to treat e.colis
Cephalosporins
