Chapter 2 Flashcards
Subclinical infection
signs and symptoms of infection are not detectable
asymptomatic gonorrhea
acute infection
characterized by relatively rapid onset and brief duration
most bacterial infections
fulminant infection
extremely sudden onset with intense s/s. Typically life threatening
caused by acute infection
infection due to biological warfare (bacillus anthracis and yersinia pestis)
another example could be francisella tularensis?
chronic infection
persists for months to years
mycobacteria
staph. aureus
dormant infection
metabolically quiescent, replicates slowly
TB
localized infection
confined to small region
staph. aureus
disseminated infection
starts at one region and spreads
hematogenous staph osteomyelitis
gonococcal septic arthritis
secondary infection
microbial invasion that is subsequent and different from original microbe
caused by disseminated infection
staph. aureus pneumonia followed by flu
mixed infection
two or more bacteria infecting same tissue
diabetic extremity infection
carrier state
although never infected , the host continues to shed bacteria and spores to infect others. typhoid fever salmonella and shigella gastroenteritis CDAD (C. dificile) staph
pili
slime
increased ability to establish residence in host
Pili: E. coli, Salmonella, Neisseria, Strep Pyogenes
Slime: staph Epidermidis
hyaluronidase
coagulase
streptokinase
invasins which contribute to S. aureus pathogenicity
encapsulation
avoid phagocytosis strep pneumoniae H. Influenze Neisseria meningitidis klebsiella pneumoniae salmonella typhi
Prevent oxidative burst
prevent phagosome-lysosome fusion
impair or prevent phagocytic killing mycobacterium tuberculosis legionella pneumonphilia listeria monocytogenes toxoplasma gondii
shields pathogen from humoral immune response
intracellular growth in nonphagocytic cells salmonella, shigella chlamydia rickettsia neisseria
exotoxin = proteins
secreted upon lysis more specific symptoms highly toxic Highly immunogenic toxoid potential: formaldehyde No fever
endotoxin = lipid portion of LPS
release of endogenous pyrogens most G (-) salmonella typhi proteum species neisseria meningitidis
facilitate scavenging of iron
siderophores
E coli
salmonella
bug that can inhibit opsonization and kill phagocyte
S. aureus
bug that can inhibit phagocytosis
strep pneumoniae
bug that can inhibit lysosomal fusion
M. Tuberculosis
bug that can block activation by interferon gamma
mycobacteria
8 ways to avoid immune defense
inhibit: opsonization chemotaxis phagocytosis lysosomal fusion
kill phagocyte
escape lysosome and grow in cytoplasm
block activation of interferon gamma
superantigen
S. aureus
S. pyogenes
A-B toxin
diphtheria
G ( - ) endotoxin
LPS which screws up clotting, liver (leading to hypoglycemia), fever, vascular permeability (hypotension), complement pathway (shock), IgE S/S: fever, diarrhea, vomit weakly toxic poor immunogenicity
biofilm bugs
S. epidermidis S. aureus S. mutuns listeria p. aeruginosa candida
