For XDR strains - Only antibiotic useful is Colistin or Polymyxin (very expensive)
Serratia Marcescens used to transmitted by contaminated
Iv lines
Surgical instruments

Serratia Marcescens causes
Pneumonia (Pseudohemoptysis) - Red cough or sputum)
Contact lens keratitis (Pink hypopyon)
Meningitis
CVS Problems
Septicemia
Pigment seen in Serratia Marcescens
Non diffusible Red pigment at room temperature (Prodigiosin)
SeRRatia mnemonic
S - Swarming, surgical instruments

Proteus features
Can take any shape (Pleomorphic bacteria)
Gram -ve bacilli
Non capsulated
Swarming motility
Swarming motility is seen in
PVCS
P - Proteus
V- Vibrio Parahemolyticus and Alginolyticus
C - C Tetani, B. Cereus
S - Serratia
Swarming can be inhibited by
Firm agar (5% agar)
Chemicals (boric acid and chloral hydrate)
MacConkey agar (bile salts +ve)
Epidemiological typing of Proteus shows which phenomenon
Diene’s phenomenon
In same strains - Swarming merge
In different strains - line of demarcation
Uses of Proteus
Non motile strains of Proteus (OX2, OX19 AND OXK) - used for Weil Felix test
Treatment of Proteus infection
Resistance ++
P. Mirabilis - Ampicillin, Cephalosporin sensitive
PrOteUS Mnemonic
PPA +ve, Diene’s Phenomenon
Odour - Fish

AKA - Scombroid food Poisioning
Tribe Erwinieae includes
Erwinieae herbicola - Yellow pigment, UTI
Yersinia includes
Yersinia pestis
Yersinia Enterocolitica
Yersinia Pseudotuberculosis
Which yersinia species belongs to Enterobacteriacea family
Y. Enterocolitica
Y. Pseudotuberculosis
Yersinia Shows which motility
Differential motility (motile at 22°C, non motile at 37°C) expect Y pestis - non-motile
Differential motility is shown by
Listeria
Yersinosis except Y pestis
Yersinosis causes which diseases
1)Self limiting gasteroenteritis
2)Mesenteric adenitis, Terminal ileitis(child) - mimics appendicitis (Pseudoappendicitis)
3)Adults - Systemic diseases
Culture findings for Yersinosis
MacConkey agar - Y. Enterocolitica can show Lactose fermentation
Differential motility
Cold enrichment is shown by
Yersinosis
Listeriosis
