24
Q

Molecular Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs)

Culture Independent

Study These Flashcards
A

Direct Antigen Detection Tests
POC tests for respiratory viruses & group A strep

NAATs = Nucleic Acid Amp Tests

Syndromic multiplex PCR panels

PCR-based direct detection

25
**Molecular Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs)** **Culture _Dependent_**
**Rapid BioChem IDentification** **MALDI-TOF-MS** Proteomic ID **Blood Culture IDentification BCID microarrays / PNA-Fish** **Rapid Phenotypic AST** **NAAT detection**
26
**Biological Confirmation** of Rapid Diagnostic Test (1-2 hours)
Requires lb with **minimul culture** / **immunoassay equipment** Requires time: **Bacterial culture = 24-72 hours ID = 4-24 Hours AB susceptibility testing = 24 hrs ELISA = 2-4 hours**
27
Fungi Classification: ## Footnote **YEAST = Candida spp.**
**Single-celled** fungi Flourish in **moist environments** & often part of **normal flora** (**GI tract & female genital tract)**
28
Fungi Classification: ## Footnote **Molds = Aspergillus**
**Multicellular** **Dermatophytes** Trichophyton spp. Microsporum spp. Fusarium Found in: **Soil / Food / Decomposing organic matter**
29
Fungi Classification: * *Dimorphic Fungi** * *Blastomyces / Histoplasma**
Capable to grow as **EITHER Mold or Yeast**
30
Infections Caused by **Dermatophytes**
**Scalp Ringworm = Tinea Capitis** **Beard Ringworm = Tinea Barbae** **Tinea Versicolor** **Tinea Corpori** **Tinea Pedis / Athletes foot**
31
**Parasitic Diseases** **2 Groups**
**_Protozoan_** **Malaria** / Amebiasis / **Giardiasis** / Toxoplasmosis Leishmaniasis / **Trypanosomiasis** **_Helminthic_** **WORMS** Enterobiasis = Pinworm // Cestodiasis = Tapeworm Ascariasis = Roundworm // Trichuriasis = Whipworm
32
**Routes by Which Humans Acquire Parasitic Infections**
**_EYES_** Contact & Penetration **_Inhalation_** **_Vector-Borne_** from bugs / mosquitos / flies **_Fecal-Oral Ingestion_** **_SKIN_** COntact & penetration **_Sexual Contact_**
33
* *Ascaris Lumbricoides** * *GIANT ROUND WORM**
1 of the most common: **Intestinal Worm Infections** Associated with: Poor personal hygiene / sanitation **human feces = fertilizer**
34
**Prion Disease**
Prion = **Infectious Proteins** Normal body proteins --\> **alternate configuration** **from contact w/ other prion proteins** ***no DNA or RNA*** Most common in humans/mammals = **PrP** Prion forms **insoluble deposits in BRAIN** --\> **neurons rapidly degenerate**
35
**Human Prion Diseases**
* *_CJD_** * *Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease** **_vCJD_** Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker Syndrome Fatal Familial Insomnia **_KURU_** brain eating in New Guinea
36
**_Animal Prion Diseases_**
**_MAD COW DISEASE_** * *_BSE_** * *Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy** * *_CWD_** * *Chronic Wasting Disease** **Scrapie** Transmissible mink / Feline Spongiform / Ungulate Spongiform ENCEPHALOPATHIES
