MOD 11 medically important pathogens Flashcards
spore forming gram positive bacilli example
bacillus & clostridium
spore forming have a
endospore
anaerobic non-spore forming gram positive bacilli example
corneabacterium, listeria eeydipelothrix nocardia
gram positive cocci example
staphylococci streptococci enterococci
gram negative cocci example
neisseria, enterobaceriaceae
nonfermantative gram negative bacilli
pseudomonas acinetobacter stenotrophomonas burkholderia
gram negative bacilli example
vibrio helicobacter haemophilus pastuerella streptobacillus aeromonas
gram positive bacilli example
anthrax diphtheroid listeriosis
spherical shape of their cells slightly oval
gram positive staining (violet)
do not form endospore
gram positive cocci
enzyme that separates streptococci and staphylococci
catalase
break down of oxygen radical that can destroy microorganism also breakdown in non toxic form
catalase
present environment is clothing bed linens and other fomites
staphylococci and streptococci
also it spreads through contaminated objects and infected humans
staphylococci streptococci
accumulation of neutrophils and bacterial cells and fluid at the infection site
pyogenic infection
arranged in grabe like clusters
staphylococcus
genus that resistant to drying heat (withstand 50 C for 30 minutes) and 10% sodium choloride
staphylococci
able to tolerate 10% sodium chloride
osmotic pressure
causes pyogenic infection and septicemia
micriobiota
has 45 species
staphylococcus
most important staphylococcus
s. aureus s. epidermidis s. lugdunesis s. saprohyticus
has 45 species
staphylococcus
what staphylococcus is coagulase positive
s.aureus - major in human pathogen
normal human micriobiota and sometimes cause infection
(CoNS) coagulase-negative staphylococci
infection cause by epidermidis
75 % infection cause by (CoNS) coagulase-negative staphylococci
