Q

If your lab test came back with alpha hemolysis, optochin sensitivity on blood agar plate, and bile lysis. You have?

A

Streptococcus pneumoniae (Pneumococcus)

17
Q

Are there vaccines to protect from Streptococcus pneumoniae (Pneumococcus)?

A
  • 23 valent capsular polysaccharide vaccine ( ages 65+)

- 13 valent capsular polysaccharide vaccine (children under 6yrs)

18
Q

Sputum is the defining characteristic of this bacteria. Sputum is thick, blood tinged (Currant Red jelly) sputum

A

Klebsiella pneumoniae

19
Q
  • Causes both typical CAP (aggressive necrotizing) and NP
  • Non-motile Gram - bacillus
  • Coated with thick SLIMY capsule
  • Causes pneumonia in alcoholics and diabetics (severe immunocompromised)
  • High fever
  • Abscess formation
  • Cavitation
A

Klebsiella pneumoniae

20
Q

Treatment for Klebsiella pneumoniae

A

Immediate Broad spectrum empiric therapy

21
Q
  • Cause of Atypical CAP (slow progression)
  • LACK CELL WALLS = NO GRAM STAIN
  • “Fried egg” appearance
  • Plasma membrane contains sterols (immune cells don’t recognize as foreign)
  • Relapse common
  • Release Hydrogen Peroxide
A

Mycoplasma pneumoniae

22
Q

Culture sputum, Cold agglutinin assay which detects IgM antibodies than bind to I antigen on the surface of RBCs at 4 Celsius = Agglutination

A

Mycoplasma pneumoniae

23
Q
  • Causes Atypical pneumonia
  • Can cause STI’s
  • Obligate Intracellular parasites
  • 2 life cycles
  • Elementary bodies = infectious form (finds host and infects)
  • Reticulate bodies = intracellular/bacterial invasion form
  • Direct tissue destruction
  • Immunity is not long lasting
  • Won’t grow on Agar plates
  • PCR = Gold standard
A

Chlamydophila pneumoniae
