21
Q

T or F: Metronidazole can by reduced to its active form in anaerobic and aerobic organisms.

A

FALSE. ONLY BE REDUCED IN ANAEROBIC ORGANISMS.

22
Q

Gram negative diplococci, non-motile, not acid fast, oxidase positive that is associated with PID. Name that organism!

A

Neisseria gonorrhoeae

23
Q

Gram negative obligate intracellular parasite associated with PID. Name that organism!

A

chylamydia trachomatis

24
Q

what can often accompany Neisseria and Chlamydia that is gram negative coccobaciili that can cause PID?

A

H. influenza

25
Q

what can often accompany Neisseria and Chlamydia that is gram positive chained cocci, facultative anaerobic and can cause PID?

A

Streptococcus pyogenes.

26
Q

what is an emerging microorganism, associated with PID that is tiny, doesnt have a cell wall, requires cholesterol in growth media?

A

Mycoplasma genitalium

27
Q

what is the mechanism for Ceftriaxone?

A

Cephalosporin derivatives that binds penicillin binding proteins and inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, resulting in osmotic imbalance and death of dividing cells. It is effective against bacteria that produce b-lactamase.

28
Q

Doxycyline MOA?

A

binds to bacteria’s 30S ribosome and prevents tRNA binding, preventing protein synthesis

29
Q

what else can you add to the treatment of PID with Ceftriaxone and docycyline?

A

metronidazole! action require a redox reaction only possible in anaerobes.

30
Q

A female of reproductive age comes into your office with a fever, hypotension, a diffuse rash, and some organ dysfuction (renal, hepatic, muscle). What does she most likely have? what is it most likely associated with?

A

Toxic shock syndrome (TSS). 90% cases associated with Staph. aureus.

31
Q

gram positive cocci, catalase + and coagulase +. name that organism!

A

staph aureus

32
Q

T or F: Superantigens produced by bacteria bind both TCR and MHC II, creating an immunological synapse with a specific antigen. This causes activation of T cells regardless of the specificity to their TCR.

A

FALSE. —creating an immunological synapse without any specific antigen

33
Q

T or F: PID’s cause is usually identified.

A

False. the organism is usually not identified, treatment is given based on symptoms.

34
Q

what is the pathogenesis of TSS?

A

S. aureus colonization –SaPI1–> TSST-1 –> superantigen binding to the interaction between helper T cell (Th1 response–> IL-2 and IFNgamma) and macrophage –>IL-1 and TNF

35
Q

What is TSST-1 encoded from?

A

SaPI1 pathogenicity island.

36
Q

wowza, what is a pathogenicity island?

A

regions that contain NON-essential genes (so bacteria can live w/o them). they encode toxins or other proteins that enhance the virulence of the bacteira

37
Q

By what mode of action are SaPI1 pathogenicity islands spread?
(A) transformation
B) transduction
C) conjugation

A

PHAGE transduction. therefore SaPI1 being integrating into CHROMOSOMAL DNA- therefore NOT good if it spreads throughout the Staph aureus community!

38
Q

____ has a central role in the generation and propagation of the inflammatory response.

A

transcription factor Nuclear Factor kB (NFkB)

39
Q

T or F: Patients with S. aureus sepsis (bacteria present in blood) rarely get Toxic Shock Syndrome

A

True.

40
Q

T or F: Staph aureus’ superantigen can activated every T cell in the body at the same time

A

True. activated APC and T cell that are close to one another by ligated them or making them interact

41
Q

T or F: Patients with Toxic shock syndrome almost always have positive S. aureus blood cultures.

A

FALSE. RARELY have + staph aureus blood cultures.

42
Q

T or F: the penis microbiome in healthy males is different than that of the vaginal microbiome in healthy reproductive age women.

A

FALSE. they are BOTH DOMINATED BY LACTOBACILLUS

43
Q

T or F: being circumcised decreases the protection from pathogens.

A

FALSE. Circumcision has a well documented effect on HIV transmission.

Circumcision also reduces incidence bacterial vaginosis in their partners.

One hypothesis is that circumcision alters the microbial community on or in the penis and increases protection from pathogens.

44
Q

T or F: circumcision shifts the microbial community towards aerobic bacteria. what does this do to the immune response?

A

TRUE. this reduces inflammation and reduces the number of CD4+/CCR5+ macrophages in the urethra

45
Q

A male comes in with some pain, swelling in his groin area, prevents with a fever and has dysuria. What does he most likely have?

A

Epididymitis

46
Q

Chylamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrheae is usually a cause of epididymitis in what age of men?

A

younger than 35 yrs

47
Q

E. coli and Pseudomonas species are usually the cause of Epididymitis in men of what age?

A

men 35 yrs +

48
Q

what is generally the cause of epididymitis in prepubertal boys?

A

E. coli

49
Q

What would you treat a prepubertal epididymitis case with?

A

Quinalone e.g. levofloxacin

50
Q

what would you treat middle age men associated epididymitis with?

A

doxycycline + ceftriaxone

51
Q

T or F: giving an antibiotic for Toxic Shock Syndrome would help with the acute symptoms with a 17 y o female presenting to the E.R.

A

FALSE. TSS is caused by a TOXIN and therefore you should give fluid resuscitation, acetominopehn and vasopressors.
