Q

reservoir for staph aurerus

A

human reservoir, hand contact, colonize in nose

23
Q

3 exotoxins of staph aureus

A
  • Enterotoxin (food poison- gastroenteritis)
  • Toxic shock syndrome toxin
  • Exfoliatin (scalded skin syndrome or bullous impetigo)
24
Q

pyogenic (pus forming) complications of staph aureus

A

Pyogenic (pus producing)
- Abscess, folliculitis, impetigo
- Local skin infection (ie. surgery)
- Disseminated (i.e. sepsis)

25
Alpha vs beta hemolytic streptococci
Alpha hemolytic= incomplete lysis of RBC (i.e. s. pneumonia) Beta hemolytic= complete lysis of RBC via hemolysin enzymes called streptolysin O and streptolysin S (i.e. s. pyogenes) y-hemolysis= nonhemolytic
26
where do streptococci reside
Many are part of normal flora in throat, skin, and intestines  disease when gain access to tissues or blood s. pneumonia in oropharynx (pneumonia (esp. CAP), otitis media, meningitis, mastoiditis, sinusitis) s. pyogenes in skin s. viridans in pharynx causes subacute bacterial endocarditis s. agalactiae causes neonatal sepsis and meningitis
27
strep pyogenes causes what
causes pharyngitis, cellulitis, impetigo, scarlet fever, toxic shock 2 disease : rheumatic fever and acute glomerulonephritis 1. Pyogenic (pharyngitis and cellulitis) 2. Toxigenic (scarlet fever, toxic shock) 3. Immunogenic (rheum fever and acute glom.) (antibodies cross create and form immune complexes to damage normal tissue)
28
s pneumonia Is ____ hemolytic. s pyogenees Is ____ hemolytic
alpha (incomplete) beta (complete)
29
s pneumonia on agar
: alpha hemolytic, green on blood agar bc reduces iron in hemoglobin
30
s pneumonia virulence factors
-polysaccharide capsule (interfere with phagocytosis - c-substance (react with CRP, a beta-globulin that indicated inflammation, risk of heart attack) -CRP -pneumolysin (alpha-hemolysis) -IgA protease (cleave IgA)
31
s pneumonia is found in healthy people but will get disease sx if have
cerebral impairment, drugs or alcohol, abnormal respiratory tract, abnormal circulatory dynamics, splenectomy, chronic diseases
32
gram +
staph and strep
33
gram -
h. influenza klebsiella penumonia pseudomonas aeruginosa bordetella pertussis
34
h influenza found in
Normal in upper respiratory tract
35
H influenza can cause
Cause pneumonia if HIV+ or immunocompromised Contiguous spread: otitis media, sinusitis, bronchopneumonia Disseminated spread: epiglottitis, meningitis, septic arthritis
36
bordetella pertussis causes
whooping cough
37
klebseilla pneumonia causes
-necrotizing lobar pneumonia if compromised by alcohol, diabetes, COPD -UTI, bacteremia
38
pseudomonas aeruginosa can cause
Eyes (keratitis), ear (external otitis), skin, urinary tract, CNS, GI, respiratory (pneumonia, heart failure, cystic fibrosis)
39
atypical pneumonia causes
chlyamida trachomatis mycoplasma pneuomnia legionells
40
mycoplasma pneumonia special features
- No cell wall, gram negative - Sterol in lipid bilayer
41
legionella from
- Aspiration of water or inhale contaminated aerosol
42
Legionnaires disease:
atypical, acute lobar pneumonia with multisystem sx (i.e. nosocomial)
43
pneumonia sx
- Fever - Leukopenia (low WBC) or leukocytosis (high WBC) - Altered mental status - Purulent sputum - Cough, dyspnea, tachypnea, - Rales or bronchial breath sounds - Worsening gas exchange - One of: fever, leukopenia, altered mental status - 2 of: purulent sputum, cough, dyspnea, tachypnea, rales or bronchial breath sounds, worsening gas exchange
44
1st line of defence/ innate immune against pneumonia
1. Intact respiratory epithelium; cough reflex 2. Nonspecific or innate immune factors (mucus, IgA, cytokines, spleen, complement, neutrophils, macrophages)
45
acquired immunity for pneumonia and in infants problem
- After colonization or exposure to cross-reactive antigens - IgG antibody development for pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide - Infants can only do B cell response and are at high risk to pneumococcal infection because of agammaglobulinemia
46
typical community acquired pneumonia vs atypical CAP causes
typical CAP: s. pneumonia, H.influenza, s. aureus --> also viral (i.e. coronavirus, influenza, adenovirus) atypical: - Mycoplasma pneumonia - Legionella - Chlaymidia pneumonia
47
lobar pneumonia vs bronchopneumonia
Lobar pneumonia: uniform consolidation of lobe of lung (s. pneumonia) Bronchopneumonia: in alveoli only
48
difference between community acquired and nosocomial (hospital) pneumonia
- Dif bacterial causes - Dif antibiotic susceptibility (more drug resistance in nosocomial) - Poorer health status and more severe in nosocomial
49
nosocomial pneumonia treatment
- High morbidity and mortality - Can rarely find what infectious cause was so antibiotic treatment is empiric
50
hospital acquired vs ventilator acquired pneumonia casues
HAP: Hospital acquired pneumonia - S. aureus (MRSA) - Streptococcus species - P. aeruginosa - Gram negatives (k. pneumonia, e coli, Enterobacter)  similar to VAP Early HAP (5 days): e coli, h influenza, s aureus, s pneumonia Late HAP: MRSA and Acinetobacter spp VAP: - Acinetobacter spp - S. maltophilia - Anaerobic
51
Ventilator acquired pneumonia occurs early
- If occurs before hospital day 4 if was healthy and no antibiotics then usually in oral flora with minimal drug resistance
52
sx of hospital vs ventilator pneumonia
HAP: Sx > 48 hours after admission to the hospital and excluding any infections present at the time of admission. VAP: Sx > 48 hours following endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation
53
risk factors anaerobic causes of VAP
poor oral hygiene, decreased consciousness, manipulated airway
54
risk factors for hospital acquired pneumonia
Risk factors: treated with broad spectrum antibiotics, instrumentation of upper airway, contact with equipment, malnutrition, advanced age, swallowing disorder, systemic diseases, altered consciousness S. aureus risk factors: previous influenza, ICU, traumatic brain injury, coma, diabetes, renal failure MRSA risks: antibiotic therapy within 90 days, renal replacement therapy in 30 days, gastric acid suppressive agents, have MRSA recently,… p. aeruginosa risks: antibiotics, structural lung disease.. multi drug resistant pathogen risks: antibiotic use, septic shock, acute respiratory distress syndrome, renal replacement…
