Gram Positive Bacteria Flashcards
Classification of gram positive bacteria
Cocci and Bacillius
Spore forming gram positive bacteria include
Clostridium
Bacillius
Non spore forming bacteria include
Staphylococcus
Neisseria
Listeria
Clostridium
Bacillius
Cornybacterium
Cornybacterium
Listeria
Cocci shaped gram positive bacteria include
Streptococci
Enterococci
Staphylococcus
Catalase positive gram positive bacteria is
Staphylococcus
Function of catalase
To break down hydrogen peroxide H2O2
Sore throat is caused by a
Virus infection
A cocci bacteria that forms bubbles in the presence of hydrogen peroxide is known as
And the bubble is due to
Staphylococcus
Due to prescence of catalase enzyme
Streptococci are divided into 3 types based on
Alpha streptococci- partially hemolyses blood
Beta streptococci- completely hemolyses blood
Gamma streptococci- cannot hemolyses blood
S. Viridans is what type of bacteria
And it does what
It is an alpha streptococci
It affects dentition and mainly git
Examples include f streptococci in alpha streptococci
S. Viridans
And S. Pneumoniae
Group A beta hemolytic streptococci is
Streptococci pyogenes
S. Pyogenes are responsible for
Pharyngitis
Scarlet fever
Rhematuatic fever
Skin infection
Glomerular infection
S. Pyogenes causes different infection to virus that cause sore throat by what difference
S.pyogenes is called pus forming streptococci
They cause pus on tonsils
What causes sore throat
Bacteria
Virus
Bacteriophage
Worms
Bugs
Virus
Group b beta hemolytic streptococci includes
S.agalacticae
S.agalacticae causes what problem in children and are found where
Meningitis
Found in vaginal tract of women
Group d beta hemolytic streptococci includes
Enterococci faecilis
Enterococci faecium
Gamma streptococci includes and found where
Enterococci faecilis
Enterococci faecium
Found in git
The penicillin used in breaking gram positive bacteria is
Methicillin
Naficillin
Vancomycin
Ampicillin
Vancomycin
Types of staphylococcus
Staphylococcus aureus, epididymis and saprophyticus
Among what staphylococcus is coagulase positive
Staphylococcus aureus
The staphylococcus normally found around the nasopharyx is
Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus found in the genital regions of sexually active females include
Staphylococcus saprophyticus
Skin scalding is caused by what bacteria
Staphylococcus aureus
Pharyngitis is caused by what bacteria
Streptococci pyogenes
Schick test and elek test is used for what immunization strategy
It is used against corynebacterium dipheteria
Corynebacterium is transmitted through
Droplet and direct contact
Corynebacterium are motile or non motile bacteria
Non motile gram positive rod shaped non spore forming bacterium
Treatment against corynebacterium includes
Penicillin and erythromycin
Meta chromatic bacteria and loffler test is a characteristic of
Corynebacterium dipheteria
Rod shaped gram positive bacteria that looks like Chinese characters is a presence of
Corynebacterium dipheteria
Corynebacterium mode of action is by
Inhibiting protein synthesis through ADP ribosylation of elongation factor 2
Characteristics of corynebacterium dipheteria
Non motile
Infect through direct contact
Gram positive
Non spore forming
Aerobic and facultative anaerobe
Loffelers test positive
Streptococci sensitive to optochin is
Streptococci pneumonia
That is in the presence of optichin it is inhibited
