myco Flashcards
this group of mycobacterium is Slow grower species-require number of weeks to produce observable colonies
tuberculosis group
species under the tuberculosis group of myco
m. tuberculosis, microti, africanum
the moree rapidly growing species of myco which is -atypical,anonymous,or nontubercular mycobacteria
runyons group
how many days will the runyon group produce colonies
3-21 days
mycobacteria included in mycobacterium complex
m. avium and intracellulare
the environmental and free living myco bacteria were placed in runyon in what year
1959
categories of runyon group were based on
rate of growth, colony morphology, pigment production
-producing pigmented (yellow colonies) only after exposure to light;slow growing;requires 7
days or more for visible colony
photochromogenic froup 1
producing yellow or orange pigment in the absence of light, slow growin
- scotochromogenic
-producing no or slight pigment with exposure to light; slow growing
nonphotochromogenic
grow rapidly with visible growth in less than 7 day
variable pigmentation
-inhibit phagosome-lysosome fusion within macrophage
sulfolipids
virulence factor of mycobacterium
mycosides
glycolipids
mycolic acid
sulfolipids
enhanced survival of phagocytosed mycobacteria; act to
scavenge and detoxify the toxigenic oxygen radicals that are produced by the macrophage oxidative burst
glycolipids
toxic, contribute to granulomatous response;
glycolipids
control of cellular permeability
mycosides
associated with cord factor that inactivates mitochondrial membranes within phagocyte and also inhibit
chemotaxis;
mycosides
also associated with wax D and various proteins that induce delayed –type hypersensitivit
mycosides
excreted in respiratory discharges, feces, milk, urine and semen
myco bovis
pathogenesis of m. bovis
Infection via respiratory and intestinal tracts→local multiplication extracellular and intracellular due to resistance to
phagocytic killings→infected host cell and bacteria reach local lymph nodes→thoracic duct→general
dissemination→macrophage activation kills some bacteria→macrophage aggregation contribute to tubercle formation
which may be encompass by fibrous layer→ lymphatic spread is retarded but continuous extension occurs via erosion of
bronchi, blood vessels or viscera to new area
specimen from live animal in myco
aspirates from cavities, lymph nodes, biopsies, tracheobronchial lavages and the
centrifuged deposit from 50 ml milk from suspected mastitis case
specimens of myco from dead animals
fresh and fixed samples of lesions or a selection of lymph nodes from a tuberculin reactor
with no visible lesions
can also be stained with fluorescent dye and viewed under UV microscop
myco
zn pos, slender, often beaded roots
m. bovis
Media for the mycobacterium
egg-based lowenstein-jensen and stonebrinks
isolation m. bovis
Selective decontamination to reduce fast-growing mycobacteria
Digestion or liquefaction of mucus
Centrifugation of samples to concentrate number of bacteria before smear preparation and culture
acts as prophylaxis in zoos and animal parks (myco)
isoniazid
vaccine for prevention of infestation of m. bovis
