midterm bacterial pathogen basics Flashcards
main mastitis pathogens
- staphylococcus aureus
- mycoplasma spp.
- streptococcus spp.
- coliforms
- trueperella pyogenes
staphylococcus aureus general characteristics
- gram pos
- coccus
- facultative anaerobe
contagious mastitis pathogens
- staphylococcus aureus(most important cause)
- mycoplasma spp. (especially M. Bovis)
- streptococcus agalactiae
gangrenous mastitis pathogens
- staphylococcus aureus
mycoplasma spp. general characteristics
- pleomorphic cells
- stain gram neg but not really gram neg (mollicute)
- lack outer membrane and cell wall
- membrane contains cholesterol
- will not grow on bld agar must grow on special media
which mycoplasma spp. cause mastitis
- mycoplasma bovis
- others?
streptococcus spp. characteristics
- gram pos
- facultative anaerobe
- coccus
- pairs or chains
streptococcus spp. catalyse test
catalayse negative
streptococcus spp. involved in mastitis
contagious: - streptococcus agalactiae enveionrmental - streptococcus dysgalactiae - streptococcus uberis (often subclinical)
environmental mastitis pathogens
- streptococcus dysgalactiae
- streptococcus uberis is (environmental mastitis)
- coliforms (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp, Enterobacter spp.)
causes of coliform mastitis pathogens
- escherichia coli
- klebsiella spp.
- enterobacter spp.
Coliform general characterisitcs
- gram neg
- facultative anaerobe
- bacillus
Trueparella pyogenes general characteristics
- gram pos
- bacillus or diptheroid
- facultative anaerobe
summer mastitis pathogens
- trueparella pyogenes
- streptococcus dysgalactiae
Moraxella spp. of concern
- moraxella bovis
- moraxella ovis
moraxella spp. general characteristics
- gram neg
- aerobic
- coccobacillus
streptococcus spp. of concern respiratory

- require NAD and/ or heme
Haemophilus spp.
- gram negative
- bacillus
- facultative anaerobe
- require NAD and/ or heme
