Coryneform diptheriae (GPB)

Bacteroides fragilis (GNB)

52
Q

Acid-fast meaning?

A

Mycobacterium tuberculosis has large amounts of mycolic acids & lipids in the cell wall that impair staining w/ aqueous stains

Causes TB

53
Q

Type of people affected by TB?

A

AIDS & crowded populations

street people

54
Q

Primary TB. What about it?

A

Mild/asymptomatic

Tubercle bacilli taken up by alveolar macrophages where they multiply

CMI slows growth/contains them in tubercles (epithelioid/giant cells) – caused by cord factor

55
Q

Latent phase of TB?

A

0 SSx

0 shedding of bacteria

Skin Pos, chest neg

56
Q

Secondary phase of TB?

A

CMI fails after years – tuberlces become necrotic (caseous material) –> Ghon complex (tubercles + caseation in lymph nodes)

Ghon complex ruptures, spread of infection

CMI failure (miliary “bird seed” lesions). Expands to organs, esp. kidneys, bran, spleen, liver

57
Q

Microbial virulence of TB?

A

Mycolic acid/waxy capsule

58
Q

What keeps primary TB from becoming clinical TB?

A

CMI contains TB within tubercles… spontaneous healing in calcified tubercles
