what type of haemolysis is partial haemolysis
what colour does it turn around the colony
alpha haemolysis
green
what type of haemolysis is full haemolysis
what colour does it turn
beta haemolysis
yellow
what type of haemolysis is no haemolysis (no change in colour)
gamma haemolysis
Gm negative cocci (2)
Neisseria gonorrhoea
Neisseria meningitidis
grows in chocolate agar
haem influenza
what does MRSA release
panton valentine leurkocidiin (PVC)
alpha haemolysis organisms
strep pneumonia
strep viridans
(in greek viridans means green :))
what is the haemolysis test used to distinguish between
different types of strep
beta haemolysis organisms
group A (strep pyogenes) and group B strep
gamma haemolysis organisms
enterococcus
coagulase positive staph
staph aureus
common infecting organism in alcoholics (2)
strep pneumonia
klebsiella
common infecting organism in kids
haem influenza
common infecting organism in PWID
staph aureus
staph aureus treatment
flucloxacillin
strep treatment
amoxicillin
gun ammox is released in strips
strep viridans treatment
benzylpenicillin
DANielle give BEN a STRIPtease
salmonella treatment
ciprofloxacin
ELLA takes a SIP
c diff treatment (normal + severe)
metronidazole (normal)
vancomycin (severe)
(c diff = when its DIFFICULT to SEE the road, safer to take the METRO than the VAN (VAN could be SEVERE))
haem influenzae treatment
ceftriaxone
occurs in Children = Ceftriaxone
what is a fast alternative to cultures for identifying microorganisms
