People who have C5-C9 deficiencies are at risk of what
N. Meningitidis
LOS causes a _____ response. Triggering ______ and _____
Inflammatory
Complement
TNFα release
Waterhouse-friderschesen syndrome bacteria and associated complications
N. Meningitidis
DIC and shock, destruction of adrenal glands
Which serogroup is most virulent in N. Meningitidis
B
Serogroups of N. Menin. And which has a vax for it
A, B, C, Y and W135
All of them
How would you treat gonorrhea
Ceftriaxone + macrolide or doxycycline
Because the macrolide and doxycycline are treating chlymadia as well
Indication of gonorrhoeae
Purulent discharge from urethra or cervix
PID
Purulent Arthritis
Tenosynovitis
Pustular rash
What can cause Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome
PID involving the liver
Diplococcus
Strict aerobe
Oxidase positive
Moraxella catarrhalis
What can moraxella cause
Sinusitis and otitis media in kids
Bronchitis and bronchopneumonia in elderly with COPD
What is moraxella similar to
Neisseria
Coccobacilli bacteria
Haemophilus
Bordetella pertussis
What does agar does Haemopholis need and what is added to it
Chocolate agar
Factor X “hemoTEN”
And
Factor V - nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
“Nickel = 5”
What is the spleen good at
Removing capsulated organisms
SHiNE SKiS
Streptococcus pneumoniae
Haemophilus influenzas type B
Neisseria Meningitidis
Escherichia Coli
Salmonella
Klebsiella pneumoniae
Group B Streptococci
Facultative anaerobe
Gram negative coccobacilli
Haemophilus
No pathogenic H. Influenza is
Non encapsulated
Non encapsulated vs encapsulated Haemophilus
E = more pathogenic
H. Influen
Non = less pathogenic
H. Influ VF
IgA proteases
Type B
Polyribitol phosphate capsule
What vax is given for h. Influ type b
Hib Vaccine
What can H. Influ cause in adults
Bronchopneumonia in elderly with COPD
Other Haemophilus diseases
H. Ducreyi
And
H. Aegyptius
Etiologies agent of chancroid
H. Ducreyi
STI that = sores on genitals
Purulent conjunctivitis aka Koch-Weeks bacillus
H. Aegyptius
Gram negative
Coccobacillus
Strict aerobe
Non motile
Encapsulated
Bordetella pertussis
DTaP
Diphtheria
Tetanus
Acellular Pertusis
How is Bordetella pertussis transmitted
Human to human —->aerosols
Bordet Genou or Regan-Lowe media
Bordetella Pertussis
Bacteria bind to ciliated epithelial cells in resp tract
Pertussis
Bordetella VF
Filamentous hemagglutinin
Tracheal cytotoxic
Demonecrotic toxin
Adenlyate cyclase toxin
Pertussis toxin
2 domains of AC toxin
Adenylate cyclase activity
And
Pore forming activity
AC toxin
Increases cAMP and disrupts cell signaling
This = modulation of immune response
Which toxin of Bordetella is the most important and what does it do
Pertussis toxin
It ribosylates G protein that controls AC activity
It inactivates the inhibitory G protein so AC activity is increased
This causes and increase in cAMP and lots of mucus secretion
Inhibiting G protein causes
Increase in AC
Disrupts chemokine signaling paths
this increases leukocytosis

Paroxysmal
Convalescent
What happens in incubation stage
Nothing
What happens in catarrhal stage
1-2 wks
Stuffy nose
Malaise

Lots of coughing with WHOOPS
Vomiting
Increased WBC
What happens in convalescent stage
3-4 wks
Weakened whoop cough
Pneumonia
Seizures
Encephalopathy
VAX for less than 7 and for older than 7
<7 = DTaP
> 7 = Tdap
Always given to prego women
Pertussis vax Tdap
Comma-shaped
Gram negative
Motile
Ox positive
Cat positive
Campylobacter
