Microbiology Flashcards
What is the major component in LPS of g- bacteria which makes the patient sick?
Lipid A
Which organism has yellow orange appearance, named “sulfur granule”?
Actinomyces
which bacteria are fastidious?
(not grow on std media)
H. influenza
legionella
how can we differentiate strep?
all are catalase -
all make chain
based on hemolysis on blood agar
beta: BSP(bacitracin sensitive pyogen) #agalactiae
alpha:OSP(optochin sensitive pneumonia) CP( has Capsule, Pneumonia)# viridans
gamma:BOB(bile only bovis)#enterococcus
which organisms have beta hemolytic pattern on blood agar?
1)beta hemolytic strep(BSP:pyogen)and (#agalactiae)
2)staph aureus
3)pseudomonas
what plates are suitable for growing H. influenza?
1)chocolate agar
2)blood agar “if” S. aureus present
which culture plates are suitable for each organism?
H.influenza : chocolate agar
neisseria : Thayer martin (=VPN=VCN=supplementel chocolate plus vanco and polymyxin/colistin)
bordetella pertusis : bordet gengou agar(=potato agar)
c. diphtheria : loeffler’s , tellurite
Tb : lowenstein-jensen
mycoplasma pneumoniae : eaton’s agar
G- bacteria : Macconkey’s agar (bile salts inhibit g+ growth), EMB (eosin y and methylene blue inhibit g+ growth)
Ecoli O157:H7 stains : sorbitol Macconkey’s agar(unlike other ecoli cannot ferment sorbitol so make colorless colonies on medium)
legionella : buffered charcoal yeast extract (BCYE)
fungi : sabouraud’s agar
s bovis and enterococcus : bile esculin agar
enterococcus : NACL media
staph aureus(SA) : mannitol salt agar (MSA)
alkalin media : vibrio
blood agar can be differential by HEMOLYSIS PATTERN
beta(BSP)
alpha(OSP)
gamma(BOB)
Macconkey’s agar and EMB agar can be differential by LACTOSE FERMENTATION
lactose fermenters(Ecoli…)
lactos non fermenters(shigella…)
bile salts inhibit g+ growth
exception?
can grow on bile esculin agar
gamma hemolytic streps
1)BOB(bile only bovis)
2)#bile and Nacl : enterococcus
which media is suitable for growth of Bordetella Pertusis?
Bordet-gengou agar
=Potato agar
eaton’s agar is the suitable media for growing of which organism?
Mycoplasma Pneumonia
how can we differentiate S. Aureus from other staphs?
1)coagulase +
2) mannitol salt agar (MSA) : SA fermentes mannitol and media turns yellow
which G- bacteria contain oxidase?
campylobacter
vibrio
pseudomonas
H. pylori
obligate aerobes?
Pseudomonas
TB
Nocardia
Obligate anaerobes
Actinomyces
Bacteroids
clostridium
