MUST KNOW from review slide Flashcards
gumma
granulomatous lesion caused by 3rd degree syphilis (caused by treponema pallidum)
streptococcus mutans antigen 1/2
- cell wall protein associated with attachment to salivary pellicle
- vaccine candidate
- begins to form plaque
salivary pellicle
thin layer of protein and glycoprotein at tooth surface
S. mutans is in what category? (what else is there?)
viridans
*along with S. pnemonia
S. pyrogenes is in what group?
A
S. agalactiae is in what group?
B
S. enterococci used to be in group?
Has what wall antigen?
D
*wall antigen called glycerol teichoic acid
mycoplasma
no cell wall
mycobacteria
mycolic acid in outer membrane
isoniazid
vaccine used to treat mycobacterium TB
*always coupled with something else
what is very sensitive to penicillin?
streptococcus pyogenes (group A) *penicillin used as vaccine for pharyngitis
PCR
- go to for molecular biology
- nucleic acid is used to isolate other nucleic sequences (primers)
- heat stable Taq polymerase copies that segment of DNA
light micro
work horse for gram stains
dark feild micro
tool for Trponemas spiral shape
immunofluresence micro
tool used to located area of infection (AA)
*same magnification
scanning micro
shape, surface
transmission micro
inside bacterial cell, cross section
stretpccus mutans is G- or G+ ?
G+
staph is G- or G+ ?
G+
Porphyromas gingivalis is G- or G+ ?
G-
enterobacteria is G- or G+ ?
G-
Vibrio is G- or G+ ?
G-
Neisseria is G- or G+ ?
G-
streptococcus pneumonia is G- or G+ ?
G+
what two bacteria are diplococci?
Neisseria (G-) and streptococcus pneumonia (G+)
Neisseria is a potent endotoxin how?
has lipoologosaccharide
*disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) *part of septicemia, life threatening
disseminated intravascular coagulation
- septicemia
* Neisseria bacterium
elemental body
- first step for chlamydia trachnomatis
- phagocytized
- not a spore, acts like virus
reticular body
second step for chlamydia trachomatis
- replicated by binary fission
- acts like bacteria
Panton-Valentine
staphyloccal exotoxin
- creates pores
- phosphlipases= mess up membrane structure
phosphlipases
mess up membrane structure to hemolyse
alpha hemolysis
incomplete and GREEN, minor
*viridans and S. pneumonia!!!!!!!!!!!!
beta hemolysis
complete
*pyrenogens!!!!!!!!!
gamma hemolysis
no hemolysis
CAMP test
uses staph aureus to enhance the listeria hemolysis (bc listeria is weak)
vibrio cholerae virulence factor and 3 genes
locus of lysogeny
1) ace gene= increasing fluid secretion
2) zot gene= tightens junctions
3) cep gene= chemotaxis proteins
Seroconversion
occurs when antibody is produced in response to a primary infection
lysogeny
key virulence factor, phenotypic conversion to a different phenotype that can now produce virulence factor
O antigen serotype
repeat polysaccaride
-enteroinvasive E. coli
H antigen serotype
flageelum
K antigen serotype
capsular (rare)
serotype B is associated with?
hemophilus influenzae
HIB vaccine
hemophilus influenzae pathogen is SEROTYPE B (always B)
–encapsulated; capsular polysaccharide= major virulence factor
S. pnemonia varilence factor?
what experiement?
aligate capsule
-vaccine also against capsule bc main virulence of S. pneumonia is the capsule, know that from old transformation experiement from Griffith
