17
Q

This disease caused by s. pyogenes produces subcutaneous nodules and arthralgia which leads to arthritis. The disease onset is 1-3 wks after infection, usually after pharyngitis. It’s less common in developed nations. The specific GAS of this disease is encapsulated and rich in immunogenic M proteins similar to the heart. Proteins -> cross reactivity -> pancarditis. Prophylactic antibiotics prevent any further attack by GAS (will have anti-SLO and DNaseB)

A

Acute Rheumatic Fever

This disease caused by s. pyogenes follows pharyngitis and skin infections. Prophylactic antibiotics are not recommended. Ag-Ab complex on glomerular base membrane -> capillaries filled with PMNs and monocytes. Acute inflammation, hypertension, hematuria, proteinuria are also symptoms (will have anti-DNaseB)

Q

What antibiotic is s. agalactiae resistant to?

A

bacitracin

21
Q

What test does s. agalactiae give a positive result for?

A

CAMP test (synergistic hemolysis)

hint: galactiae looks like the word glacier -> Glacier national park -> camping

22
Q

What type of hemolysis does s. agalactiae show?

A

beta hemolysis

23
Q

Where is s. agalactiae found?

A

normal flora in gut

24
Q

What kind of disease does s. agalactiae cause in pregnant women?

A

UTI, endometritis (after delivery), chorioamniotitis (2nd trimester), and postpartum sepsis

25
Q

What kind of disease does s. agalactiae cause in men and non-pregnant women?

A

usually affects the old or IC - bacteremia, pneumonia, bone and skin/soft tissue infections

26
Q

What kind of disease does s. agalactiae cause in infants?

A

aspiration of infected amniotic fluid can cause pneumonia/bacteremia/meningitis -> deafness or blindness (early onset: 5% mortality); bacteremia with meningitis ->neurological problems (late onset: high survival rate)

27
Q

S. pneumoniae is gram (__) and ____ shaped

A

+ ; lancet

28
Q

S. pneumoniae is often capsulated. True or false?

A

true

29
Q

What type of hemolysis does s. pneumoniae show?

A

alpha hemolysis

30
Q

What antibiotic is s. pneumoniae susceptible to? It is also susceptible to ___ salt

A

optochin (p-disk); bile (not in gut)

31
Q

Where does s. pneumoniae colonize? How does it spread?

A

nasopharynx; spreads by rep drops/fomites

32
Q

Where is s. pneumoniae mostly endogenous?

A

lungs and blood

33
Q

S. pneumoniae is the #1 cause of what three diseases?

A

bacterial sinusitis, otitis media, and meningitis

34
Q

This disease caused by s. pneumoniae often follows viral infection. A productive cough, pleural pain, dyspnea, tachypnea, tachycardia, sweats, and malaise are associated with this disease. PMNs and lancet shaped diplococci are in rusty sputum (blood leaks from capillaries).

A

pneumonia

35
Q

what do s. pneumoniae colonies look like on blood agar plate?

A

mucoid looking colonies

36
Q 
For each virulence factor of s. pneumoniae, give its function:
PspA
Hyaluronate lyase
Neuraminadase
capsule
proteases
pneumolysin
A

PspA: anti complement
Hyaluronate lyase: increases tissue permeability
Neuraminadase: bacterial adherence
capsule: most important factor - pathogenisis, vaccine target
Proteases: degrade IgA
Pneumolysin: lyses host cell -> edema -> hemorrhage -> bacterial growth and spread into blood

37
Q

This bacteria is bile salt tolerant and grows on MSA but has no color change. It is also optochin resistant and highly antibiotic resistant in general.

A

Enterococcus

38
Q

What kind of hemolysis does Enterococcus show?

A

usually non-hemolytic

39
Q

Enterococcus is enteric but can also colonize in the ____ and can be found in the ___

A

gut; feces

40
Q

This disease caused by enterococcus is described as abdominal swelling and tenderness after trauma or surgery

A

peritonitis

41
Q

This disease caused by enterococcus is not common but may be acute or chronic. What begins as a nosocomial UTI can lead to bacteremia and furthermore, this disease

A

endocarditis

42
Q

What does Viridans Strep look like on a blood agar plate and what kind of hemolysis does it show?

A

green on blood agar; alpha and non-hemolysis

43
Q

This type of strep is P-disk resistant and non-pyogenic.

A

Viridans Strep

44
Q

Viridans Strep is most prevalent in the ___ cavity but can also be found in ____ and the female ___ tract

A

oral; URT; genital

45
Q 
Of the more than 30 species in the Viridans Strep class, most are put into 5 groups. For each of the following groups, give the associated disease:
Anginosus
Mitis
Mutans
Salvivarius
Bovis
Ungrouped
A

Anginosus: abscess in brain, oropharynx or peritoneal cavity
Mitis: subacute endocarditis, sepsis in neutropenic patients, pneumonia -> meningitis
Mutans: dental caries, bacteremia
Salvivarius: bactermia, endocarditis
Bovis: bacteremia associated with GI cancer, meningitis
Ungrouped: bacteremia, meningitis, TSS -> endocarditis

46
Q

What is the most important virulence factor for Virdians Strep?

A

glucosyl-transferase (from biofilm on enamel)

47
Q

This bacteria is generally susceptible to penicillin, metronidazole, chloramphenicol. It is found in normal flora of oral cavity, gut, and skin.

A

Anaerobic cocci

48
Q 
In regards to anaerobic cocci, for each of the following anatomical locations, give the disease associated with it
URT
GIT
GUT
Skin
A

URT: sinusitis and pleuropulmonary infections
GIT: intra-abdominal infections
