Test yourself brucella, campylobacter, helicobacter Flashcards
brucella:
coccobacillus, aerobic, lack flaggela, capsule, endospore, plasmid
pathogensis of brucella + the 3 elemnets that help brucellla
if we see pancytopenia then—
probelm in BM
identification of brucella:
1) oxidase positive, urease positive
2) serology
3)PCR
4)agglutination assay, species specific
Helicobacter:
rods/ gram negative/ very motile (corkscrew motion) microaerophilic like 5% O2 and 10% CO2 and the rest nirtogen/
function of PAI + steps slide 48
to be sure if i have heliocbacter i can do PCR to check if i hace —
Cag A and Vag A
gastric lymphoma is a cancer of –
B cells
slides 53 and 54
what’s the skirrow medium?/ do they use chocolate for helicobacter?
blood and antibiotics / not rlly because bac is hard to grow on it
principles of therapy
campylobacter: LOOK AT LYNNS NOTES ON LAPTOP NOT IPAD
gram negative rods with comma or S shape
are they motile?
yes they have a single polar flagellum
do they have a capsule or a spore?
no capsule/ no spore
respiration? + other charactersitics:
micoaerobic: 5% O2 10% CO2 rest is N2/ thermophilic/slow grower/filtrable / very fastidous/ reservoir: poultry/
campylobacter is the most common bacteria tat causes —worldwide
gastroenteritis
