T or F pseudomonas aeruginosa is fastidious
F
what is the mucoid polysaccharide capsule of pseudomonas aeruginosa made out of
alginate
when does a pseudomonas aeruginosa have a capsule
during a lung infection
t or f: pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen
T
how does pseudomonas aeruginosa move around
flagella and pili
what is the endotoxin of pseudomonas aeruginosa
LPS
what pseudomonas aeruginosa toxin causes dermatonecrosis, corneal damage, and tissue damage
exotoxin A
what pseudomonas aeruginosa toxin produces H2O2 and attracts neutrophils
pyocyanin
what pseudomonas aeruginosa toxin scavenges iron, regulate other virulent factors
pyocerdin
what pseudomonas aeruginosa enzyme destroys elastin
elastases Las A and las B
what pseudomonas aeruginosa enzyme cause lung damage and hemorrhagic skin lesions
elastases las A and las B
what ab are looked for when a pt has a pseudomonas aeruginosa infection
lasA and las B

what does T3SS (pseudomonas aeruginosa) pump into cells
exoenzymes S and T
what pseudomonas aeruginosa enzyme rearrange actin
exoenzymes S and T
what bacteria is naturally antibiotic resistant
pseudomonas aeruginosa
what kind of resistance are cells naturally able to withstand exposure to concentration of antibiotic that inhibit other bacteria
intrinsic resistance
what kind of resistance is developed in the presence other bacteria or upon exposure to antibiotics
acquired resistance
what kind of resistance is environment stimulated but not necessarily genetic
adaptive resistance
biofilm formation is an example of what kind of resistance
adaptive
where do you find pseudomonas aeruginosa
moist environment (ubiquitous)
