Urines Flashcards
which organs should be bacteria free
kidneys, ureters, and bladder
how should urine be collected
clean catch/ MSU in first morning BEFORE antimicrobial therapy
why is catheterization used and what is it’s downside
avoid contamination but gets infected sometimes
what are indwelling catheters known for
gram negative bacteriuria and sepsis
what is suprapubic needles for
aspiration of the bladder from babies
SPECIFICALLY used for anaerobic infections
what are the contaminating flora in urine
non hemolytic strep
Viridins
CNS
dips
lactobacillus
neisseria
what are pathogens in urine
enterobacteriaceae
B hem strep (A+B)
Pseudo and other NFB
Aerococcus
Enterococcus
Staph aureus
staph sapro
what is cystitis
inflammation of bladder
what is dysuria
abnormalities in urination that causes pain or dripping
what is glomerulonephritis and what causes it
inflamed kidney glomeruli due to allergic or hypersensitivity from STREP PYO
what is non specific urethritis
inflamed urethra
what is pyelonephritis
inflammation of kidney and pelvis
what can staph aurues cause
infection boils, impetigo, TOXIC shock syndrome
what is staph sapro commonly seen in
UTI infection of young women
what is cytoscopy
examination of the bladder lining and urethra lining
what can group A strep cause (pyogenes)
pharyngitis, TSS, scarlet fever
what can group B strep cause (agalactiae)
neonatal infection
what genera is Aerococcus apart of
streptococcus-like that resemble viridins (alpha hem)
where can Aerococus be found
mucous membrane and environment
what are tests to confirm aerococus
cat wk+/-
PYR -

how can we separate group A and B strep (pyo vs agal)
pyo is PYR +
Latex grouping A vs B
pyo is CAMP -
Taxos A is S
agal is opposite of pyo
what is the chemical name of taxos P - oPtochin
Ethylhydrocupreine hydrochloride
the rest of bacteria is on enterics
