MICROBIOLOGY Flashcards
when do some viruses get a lipid coat
exocytosis from host cell
illnesses of adenoviruses
conjunctivitis
pharyngitis
diarrhoea
pneumonia
stages of viral infection
attachment entry uncoating nucleic acid and protein synthesis assembly release
types of release
budding and lysis
antiviral targets
viral nucleic acids
viral integrase + protease
uncoating, attachment, entry and release
viruses causing cancers
HPV and HepB/HIV
asymptomatic viruses
rhinovirus/polovirus
mechanism of herpes simplex
reactive
classification of gastritis causing bacteria
microaerophilic spiral bacilli -
flu like bronchopneumonia bacteria
legionella (strict aerobic bacilli) -
neisseria gonorrheae and meningitidis classification
aerobic diplococci -
whooping cough bacteria
bordtella pertussis, small aerobic bacilli -
what does haemophilus influenzae cause
COPD exacerbation -
gut commensals
e. coli, klebsiella sp, proteus sp. (-)
enterococcus sp. (non haemolytic +)
gut pathogens
salmonella, shigella, E.coli 0157 -
3 clostridium +ve bacilli
tetanus, perfrigens (gangrene) difficile
closridium classification
+ve, anaerobic bacilli
aerobic cocci chains are…
streptococcus
aerobic cocci clusters are…
staphylococcus
beta haemolysis and types
full haemolysis group a (throat infection) group b (neonatal meningitis)
gamma haemolysis and types
no haemolysis
enterococcus - gut commensal + UTIs
alpha haemolysis and types
partial strep pneumoniae (pneumococcus) and viridans (endocarditis)
presence of coagulase on coat means what for bacteria
more virulent
coagulase +ve
staph aureus
coagulase -ve
staph epidermis - skin commensal -> IV line infection
test for c. diff
GDH then toxins
c. diff treatment
bad - ORAL VANC
okay - ORAL METRONIDAZOLE
the 4 C’s
cephalosporins
clindamycin
co-amoxiclav
cpiroflaxin
key gut commensals
clostridium sp. enterococci klebsiella sp. candida strep sp. proteus sp. bacteriodes sp.
nasopharyngeal commensals
staph sp. - aureus epidermis
strep sp.
haemophilus sp.
neissera sp.
enterotoxin A causes
diarrohea
