Microbiology Flashcards
Serotyping by slide agglutination to which strains of E.Coli
EPEC & EHEC
jj
what causes infection when leave the intestine
Proteus
jj
in EHEC we detect the vero toxin by …… and detect the organism by …….
ELISA
Immunoflourescence in stools
indicators of fecal pollution of water
E.Coli, Enterococcus faecalis and
Cl. perfringens
klebsiella are normal inhabitants in
intestine and respiratory tract
causes inclusion conjunctivitis and which serotypes
C. trachomatis and serotypes D-K
Klebsiella are in soil and water as
Saprophytes
meaning of nosocomial?
orginating in hospital
Hospital acuired diseases
Klebsiella causing nosocomial diseases in man due to
multi-drug resistant strains
how many serotypes of klebsiella
77 based on the capsular polysaccharide
the non lactose fermenters
Slamonella, shigella, proteus
why collonies of Klebsiella are mucoid
due to production of abundant extracellular slime by the capsule
biochemical activities of klebsiella
- the ferment glucose maltose sucrose luctose, mannite, and salicin
- they are indole negative/ VP positive/MR negative/ citrate positive
what diseases caused by K.penumonia
lopar pneumonia
neonatal meningitis
septicemia
urinary track infection
hospital acquired infection
kill mice in 24-48 hours when injected intra-peritoneal
causes Rhinoscleroma
k. rhinoscleromatis
causes atrophic rhinitis
K. ozaenae
K. causes hospital acuired infection
K. oxytoca
oxygen in hospital, oxytoca in hospital
enterobacter, citrobacter, serratia
- they are in soil, water, stool
- causes urinary tract, wound, and blood streams infections to hospitalized patients, immunocomromised especially those under invasive procedure such as respiratory intuubation, intravenous and urinary catheters
- gram negative bacilli, motile, and differentiated by thier biochemical activities
Proteus are found in ……….. and are inhabitants of ……….
soil and water
intestine in man
- oxidase positive
- don’t ferment any sugar
- Acid is produced from glucose by oxidation only
Pseudomonas
when proteus cause infection
when they leave intestine
the two important species of proteus
P. vulgaris
P. mirabilis
Diseases caused by proteus
- Urinary tract infection caused by proteus mirabilis
- wound infection
- pneumonia
- meningitis
- otitis media
- bacteremia
what require antibiotic sensitivity test
proteus
morganella morgani
