Lec 6-3 - Streptococci Flashcards
streptococci are gram blank
positive
strep are catalase blank unlike staph
negative
strep are blank as it relates to oxygen
facultative anaerobes
strep can be classified based on blank patterns
hemolytic
clear complete hemolysis
beta
green/partial hemolysis
alpha
no hemolysis
gamma
phylogenetic analysis of blank is now used to categorize strep
16S RNA
alpha hemolytic gram positive strep that has 19 species like s mutans and sobrinus
viridians strep
viridians strep can be differentiated from strep pneumoniae because it is
optochin resistant, bile resistant, cant make insulin, no capsule
viridians strep is treated by blank
penicillin
viridians also form blank in oral cavity
biofilms
viridians can also lead to blank in the heart
strep endocarditis
strep pneumoniae are blank hemolytic, and blank/blank sensitive
alpha, optochin/bile
things that strep pneumoniae cause
acute otitis media, pneumonia, bacteremia, meningitis
strep pneumoniae is a blank coccus
diplo
strep pneumonia makes a polysaccharide blank
capsule
blank can prevent pneumococcal disease
breast feeding
pneumovax and prevnar are blank for pneumonia but only cover this many strains
vaccine, 1/4 or 1/3
group A strep is aka blank
strep pyogenes
strep pyogenes is blank hemolytic, gram blank, and grow in blank
beta, positive, chains
strep pyogenes causes these infections
strep throat, scarlet fever, impetigo, cellulitis
strep pyogenes causes these invasive infections
bacteremia, toxic shock, necrotizing fasciitis
post infectious sequelae of strep pyogenes
rheumatic fever, glomerulonephritis
there are many strep blank factors
virulence
virulence factor that has 100 M types and involved in mucosal infection but is less important during bacteriemia/sepsis…. anti phagocytic and adherence
M protein
one of the most important virulence factors that causes toxic shock and scarlet fever
pyrogenic exotoxins
group b strep is aka blank
strep agalactiae
strep agalactiae is normal in blank and blank
intestinal/genital tracts
strep agalactiae is diagnosed by secreting blank and causes blank in presence of staph aureus
cAMP, beta hemolysis
group d strep is now called blank
enterococcus
enterococcus are blank in the human gut
commensals
enterococcus are blank hemolytic and diplococcus
gamma
enterococcus are blank resistant to antibiotics
intrinsically
enterococcus survive in blank conditions
harsh
