Microbio Flashcards
What do human cells have that microbes don’t
Mitochondria to process energy
DNA within a nucleus
No cell wall
What do bacteria have that humans don’t
Energy processes occurring in membrane
No nucleus
Periplasmic space between membrane an wall
Cell wall - peptidoglycan
G- with second, outer lipid membrane layer
Flagella, capsules in some
What are the encapsulated organisms
H flu S Pneumonia Neisseria Salmonella Group B strep LKlebsiella E. Coli
What are coagulate positive organisms
Staph aureus is positive
It coagulates fibrin to resist the host defenses
Leads to abscess, sepsis, MRS
What does fastidious mean
Complex nutritional needs, like neisseria or hemphilus, difficult to culture
What does acid fast mean
Ability to resist acid destaining
Mycobacterium
What is an endotoxins
Component of the LPS layer of the gram negative bacteria
Released when the cell dies and LPS layer is brk]oken apart
Leads to fever, vascular inflammation, DIC, sepsis, death
What are exotoxins
Proteins produced inside pathogenic bacteria
Most often gram positive bacteria
Secreted or released during death
Botox and tetanus
Aerobic gram positive cocci are
Streptococci
Staphylococci
Enterococcus
Aerobic gram positive rods/bacilli are
Corynebacterium
Listeria
Aerobic gram negative cocci
Mortadella, neisseria
Aerobic gram negative rods
Pseudomonas Helicobacter Hemophilia Legionella Enterobacter: e. Coli, klebsiella, enterobacter, citrobacter, shigella, salmonella, serrations, morganella, providencia
Aerobic gram negative coccobacilli
Bored at Ella pertussis, francisella, rickettsial, chamydia
Anaerobic gram positive cocci
Peptococci
Peptostreptococci
Anaerobic gram positive rods/ bacilli
Clostridium (c. Diff, c. Perfingens, c. Tetanus, c. Botulinium)
Gardanerella - thin cell wall makes it stain purple or pink
Listeria - in pregnancy, avoid food borne illness
Anaerobic gram negative cocci
None
Anaerobic gram negative bacilli
Bacteroides Fusobacterium Prevotella Porphyromonas (Important in abscess, decubitus ulcers, IA abscesses)
Clue cell for bacterial vaginosis and organism
Gardnerella
KOH for sniff
Cell - epithelial cel with bacteria adhering to membrane
Where do atypical bacteria reside
Respiratory or urogenital tracts
Why are atypical bacteria atypical
Lack cell wall or typical PG component
Cell wall inhibitors do not affect them
All can cause pneumonia
Examples of atypical
Mycoplasma Chlamydia Ureaplasma Legionella Rickettsia (Q fever)
What are rickettsiae
Aerobic, gram negative coccobacilli I trace lunar parasites Multiple within endothelial cells of small vessels Vasculitis and DIC RMSF, Ehrilohicosis
What are spirochete
Long, slender, spiral, worm bacteria
Syphilis - reaction (Jalisco-Herxheimer)
Lyme disease
Leptospirosis
Rhys on plans and soles. What two diseases
Syphilis and RMSF
