Q

Methods of dx of microbial infections

A
  1. Detection of pathogen (culture, molecular/PCR, Ag detection assay)
  2. Detection of immune response
  3. Detection of lesions/microbes associated with lesions
20
Q

Methods of detection of immune response For dx of microbial infections

A

1) ELISA (enzyme-linked immunoassay) –> most commonly used
2) FA (fluorescent antibody test)
3) CF (complement fixation)
4) HA (hemagglutination direct and indirect)

21
Q

Methods of detection of lesions/microbes assoc. with lesions for dx of microbial infections

A
  • histology/immunohistology
  • molecular probes
  • electron microscopy
22
Q

Which rises first: IgM or IgG

23
Q

Problems with classical bacterial culture

A
  • slow growing microbes
  • fastidious microbes
  • non-cultivable microbes
  • new molecular techniques faster
  • Ag capture assays
  • fungal cultures may require different media
24
Q

PCR

A

Amplification of target sequence from DNA

25
Reverse transcription PCR
Amplification of target sequence from RNA
26
Quantitative real time PCR
Amplification and simultaneous quantification of targeted DNA molecule
27
Advantages of PCR diagnostics
- fast and efficient - can use target gene or "generic" primers followed by sequencing - can IF non-cultivatable or slow-growing microbes - esp. Good for viruses
28
Disadvantages of PCR diagnostics
- no isolate = no sensitivity testing** | - easily contaminated; requires rigorous QC
29
Sensitivity
The proportion of positives that are correctly identified as such = TP/TP + FN Higher sensitivity = better at avoiding false negatives
30
Specificity
The proportion of negatives correctly identified as such = TN/TN + FP Higher specificity = better at avoiding false positives Increasing sensitivity --> decreasing specificity
31
Positive predictive value
Proportion of positives that are true positives
32
Negative predictive value
Proportion of negatives that are true negatives
33
Sampling sites without normal microflora
``` Blood CSF Joint fluid Bladder, urine SQ Surgical preparation ```
34
Sampling sites with normal microflora
Skin | Mucosal sites
35
Method of choice for sampling anaerobes
Biopsy or needle aspirates Swabs least desirable
36
Info to include on biological specimen label
- clear identifier of patient - source - specific collection site, date, time of collection - person that collected specimen - contact info - relevant clinical history
37
"Efficacy" is a function of:
Surface, contact time, product, and dilution
38
Info required on product label
- use pattern - site and method of application - area and type of surfaces on which it may be applied - contact time - temp - pH - conc. - mixing directions - mode of application and dose rates for intended use - time a diluted and/or mixed disinfectant solution may be kept, reused and stored
39
Classes of chemical disinfectants
- acids - alcohols - aldehydes - alkalis - biguanides - halogens - oxidizing agents - phenols - quartenary ammonium compounds
40
Most susceptible to most resistant microorganisms
``` Mycoplasmas Gram + Gram - Pseudomonads Rickettsiae Enveloped viruses Chlamydia Non-enveloped viruses Fungal spores Picornaviruses Parvoviruses Acid-fast bacteria Bacterial spores Coccidia Prions ```
41

Bleach* Betadyne Povidone
45
Phenols

46
Cleaning and disinfection protocol
1) remove all grossly visible debris 2) wash the area or item with water and detergent 3) thoroughly rinse the cleaned area to remove any detergent residue (some disinfectants inactivated by detergents) 4) allow area to dry completely 5) apply appropriate disinfectant 6) allow the proper contact time! 7) thoroughly rinse away any residual disinfectant and allow the area or item to dry
