25
Give an example of a group A streptococci beta haemolytic
Streptococcus pyogens Major pathogen Sore throats, cellulitis, necrotising fasciitis
26
Which strain of staphylococcus aureus poses a major risk for infection prevention and control?
MRSA, methicilin resistant
27
Why is staphylococcus aureus commonly penicillin resistant?
They produce beta lactamse - provides antibiotic resistance to antibiotics with a four atom ring known as a beta lactam
28
What type of organism is C.Diff?
Anaerobic Bacilli
29
When can coagulase negative staphylococcus bacteria become pathogenic?
In the presence of foreign bodies (prosthesis)?
30
Which form of gram positive bacteria form chains?
Streptococci
31
What is used for immunisation against Clostridium tetani?
Antigenically modified toxin
