34
Q

2 things in red boxes on a picture of strep pneumo

A

neuraminidase
hyaluronidase
??? idk ???

35
Q

Autolysin

A

causes lysis of pneumococcus and results in release of pneumolysin along with host cell apoptosis

36
Q

Autolysin is released _______ as an attempt to _________

A

in response to antibiotic therapy and stationary phase
-trigger: cell lysis
dampen host immune response

37
Q

local lysis of pneumococcus (ex: abx therapy) results in

A

the release of virulence factors: autolysin

38
Q

pneumonia disease results from

A

heightened immune response to strep pneumo multiplication

39
Q

pneumonia spreads systemically by

A

hematogenous spread through lung’s lymph drainage

40
Q

alveoli fill with

A

fibrous edema fluid
red cells
leukocytes

41
Q

resolution of pneumonia

A

absorption of fluid

phagocytosis of remaining cells

42
Q

purulent sputum from pneumonia is _______

A

rust colored

43
Q

sputum culture of strep pneumo shows

A

G+ lancet diplococci

44
Q

significant sign of strep pneumo in many cases

A

bacteremia

45
Q

other diseases pneumococcus is responsible for

A

otitis media

sinusitis

46
Q

other diseases pneumococcus is responsible for once it disseminates

A

bacteremia
meningitis
arthritis
peritonitis

47
Q

on blood agar strep pneumo looks like

A

small round green, exhibit alpha hemolysis

48
Q

capsules of strep pneumo on culture

A

are non-staining

49
Q

presumptive diagnosis of strep pneumo

A

optochin sensitivity on culture

50
Q

confirmation diagnosis of strep pneumo

A

bile solubility test

bile lyses strep pneumo but doesn’t lyse other alpha hemolytic strep

51
Q

Quellung reaction

A

to observe capsules of strep pneumo

mix organism isolated from patient with anti-capsule serum

52
Q

agglutination tests for

A

capsular polysaccharides

Q

genetic probe tests look for

A

strep pneumo specific rRNA

54
Q

A
  1. 23 valent capusular polyscaccharide vaccine
    - for >65 years old or predisposing factors
  2. 13 valent capsular polysaccharide vaccine
    - conjugated to a carrier protein –> more immunogenic

contains LOS in the cell wall

A

Haemophilus influenzae

69
Q

LOS

A

lipooligosaccharide, similar to LPS

70
Q

Haemophilus influenzae requires _______ for growth

A

factors from RBCs

but do not have hemolytic properties

71
Q

Haemophilus influenzae that has lost its capsule is

A

non-typeable

still capable of causing disease

72
Q

Haemophilus influenzae that is considered normal flora

A

non-typeable

73
Q

Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae is also prevalent in

A

debilitated hosts: asthma, COPD, smoking, immunocompromised

considered opportunistic

74
Q

Haemophilus influenzae that causes pneumonia in infants/children

A

type B: Hib

75
Q

Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae causes infection when

A

there’s an imbalance of colonization

76

non-encapsulated Haemophilus influenzae have

A

adhesions: HAP

- bind to mucins on the ciliated epithelial cells of the respiratory tract

77
