salmonella enterica Flashcards
enterobacteriae
1) e coli
2) salmonella
3) shigella
4) etc.
e coli
1) causes 90% of bladder and lower UTIs
2) some kidney and upper UTI
3) gastroenteritis, meningitis, septicemia
enterotoxogenic e coli
1) travellers diarrhea with cramps, nausea, vomiting, etc.
enterohemorrhagic e coli
1) hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome
salmonella
1) more than 2000 antigenic types of salmonella
2) s. enteritidis is a subspecies but basically called salmonella
3) can cause gastroenteritis, typhoid fever, enterocolitis
4) salmonella causes about 1 million cases of food poisoning each year
shigella
1) shigella species cause dysentery
2) bloodstained, mucopurulent stools
3) shiga toxin
yersinia
1) pulmonary plague and gasteroenteritisy
2) urcan plague and sylvatic plague
y. pestis
1) black death
2) 25 million deaths in europe
klebsiella pneumoniae
1) multiple absesses, nosocomial infections, pneumonia
citrobacter
1) opportunistic and bacteremia
campylobacter jejuni
1) most common cause of infectious diarrhea
2) also some x concisus and c. rectus are involved in periodontal disease
h. pylori
1 )chronic gastritis and increased risk of peptic ulcers
features of enterobacteria
1) largest, most heterogeneous collection of G- bacilli
2) normal flora of GI
3) excretion from GI tract
4) enteric and UTI infections
shigella, salmonella, yersenia pestis
1) always disease
2) not normal flora
e coli, klebsiella, one more
1) commensal
enterobacteria originate from
1) animal reservoirs, human carriers, endogenous spread
physiology and structure of enterobacteria
1) gram - bacilli, motile or non motile, do not form spores
2) aerobes and facultative anaerobes
3) have CAPSULE
4) reduction of nitrate to nitrite
enterobacteria serological classification
1) O antigen
- outer polysaccharide
2) K antigen
- capsular polysaccharide
3) H antigen
- on the flagellar proteins
virulence factors
1) endotoxin (LPS)
2) capsule
3) antigenic phase variation
4) alternative expression of capsular K and flagellar H antigen
5) exotoxin production
6) fimbriae
7) siderophores and hemolysins
8) resistance to serum killing
9) antimicrobial resistance
e coli clinical syndromes
1) septicemia
- originate from UT or GI tract but penetrate into blood
2) UTI
- most are hospital acquired
-ascending infections can migrate to prostate or kidneys
- adhesins
3) neonatal meningitis
- streptococci agalactiae
4) gastroenteritis
five groups of gastroenteritis
know there are 5
1) know the 2
- enterotoxigenic
(watery diarrhea, travelers diarrhea)
- enterohemorrhagic (shiga like toxin, pretty rare, bloody diarrhea, acute renal failure, thrombocytopenia, spread to other UK contries)
antibiotic use against ecoli?
no recommended
2) disruption of bacteria and release of endotoxin
virulent salmnelle
1) the virulent ones are s. enterica serotypes
2) originally different species
3) s enteritidis
4) which express H antigen and flagella
5) salmonella typhi and paratyphi do not cause disease in non human hosts
6) contaminated water or food products
7) direct fecal oral spread
salmonella clinical syndromes
1) enterocolitis
2) speticemia
shigells
1) cause bacterial dysentery
- primarily pediatric disease of dirty hands
2) foodborne is uncommon
shigella pathogenesis
1) exotoxins
2) bloody mucopurulent diarrhea
2) intense inflammatory response
4) stx2 and stx 2
5) toxins are named after kiyoshi shiga whaich described the bacterial origin
6) deactivate the 28s RNA of the 60s ribosomal subunit
shigella clinical syndromes
1 ) abdominal cramps, invasion of colonic mucosa, destruction of superficial mucosal layer
2) bacteremia is uncommon
3) ciprofloxacin (fluroquinolone) and azithromycin (macrolide) to reduce secondary spread
yersinia
1) zoonotic
2)urban plague, control rats and hygiene
3) eliminated in modern society
4) early antibiotic use is essential
- tetracycline, fluoroquinolone, aminoglycosides, rifamycin, beta-lactams
yersinia enterocolitica
1) enterocolitis
2) diarrhea, fever
3) contaminated food or water
3) trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole
klebsiella pneumoniae
1) commensals
2) wound and soft tissue infections
3) fever cough
4) mucous like colonies
proteus mirabilis
1) grows in swarming patterns and aggregates
enterobacter, cirobacter, serratia, providencia
1) hospital acquired infections
2) for enterobacter infection
- 4th generation cephalosporins,
3) citrobacter; other antibiotics
campylobacter
1) bipolar flagella
- invades epithelium
- net fluid loss
- following infection, produce cytolethal distending toxin
2) macrolides in immunocompromised patients
H.pylori
Omeprazole treatment and amoxicillin
Found in peptic ulcers
h pylori and ulcers
1) he showed that h pylori can be isolated from ulcer lesions
2) att
