Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Gram - ; Oxidase + ; aerobic non-fermenting bacillus
Produce blue-green pigment
Produce fruity odor
Tx fluroquinolones
Haemophilis
Gram - bacillus
Requires factors X and V
Gram + , Catalase - , Alpha hemolytic, optochin sensitive coccus
Streptococcus pneumoniae
bile soluble
Gram + , Catalase - , Beta hemolytic coccus
Streptococcus agalactiae (bacitracin resistant) Streptococcus pyogenes (bacitracin sensitive)
Staphylococcus aureus
Gram + ; Coagulase + ; Catalase + coccus
Catalase distinguishes these two species
Staphylococcus (+)
Streptococcus (-)
Coagulase distinguishes these staph species
Coagulase + –> Staph aureus
Coagulase - –> all others (epidermidis, saprophyticus)
Gamma-hemolytic, gram + cocci that grow on bile-esculin agar
Enterococci (Group D Strept)
Growth in NaCl: E.faecalis
No growth in NaCl: S. bovis
Alpha hemolytic, optochin resistant, gram + coccus
Streptococcus viridans
Alpha hemolytic, optochin sensitive, gram + coccus
Streptococcus pneumoniae
Herpes viruses are
DS DNA, enveloped, icosahedral
Branching, filamentous bacteria
Actinomyces
Nocardia
Both gram positive
Lack a cell wall
Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma
Spirochetes
Borellia (Giemsa stain)
Leptospira
Treponema
All gram negative
What subunits make up the bacterial ribosome?
50s and 30s
40s and 60s in humans
What make spores resistant to dehydration?
Keratin-like coat, dipicolinic acid, peptidoglycan
Catalase positive organisms
Nocardia Pseudomonas Listeria Aspergillus Candida E.coli Staphylococci Serratia
Typical exotoxin diseases (think Gram +)
Tetanus, Botulism, diphtheria
Isolated in Bordet-Gengou agar
