Infectious Disease - Bacteria

Question 1

Name Gram negative Bacteria Genera

Answer 1

Cocci - Neisseria

Rods:
Aerobic Rods: Bordatella, Brucella, Francisella, Legionella, Pseudomonas (They were BORED, so BRUCE and FRANCIS of the LEGION spent a lot of AIR coming up with PSUEDONYMS.)

Facultative anaerobic Rods: Enterobacteriaceae (E.Coli et al.), Pasteurella, Haemophilus, Vibrio

Anaerobic Rods: Bacteroides, Prevotella, Fusobacterium

Spirochetes - Borrelia, Leptospira, Treponema (BLT!)

Spirals - Campylobacter, Helicobacter

Question 2

Poor or Non-Staining Bacteria Genera

Answer 2

Acid fast - Mycobacterium

No peptidoglycan for staining - Mycoplasma

Obligate Intracellular - These bugs have no a big BITE but not BERCC. Bartonella, Ehrlichia, Rickettsia, Coxiella, (make some of their own ATP, need more) and Chlamydia (ATP deficient)

Weakly Gram-: Legionella

Question 3

Gram positive Cocci

Answer 3

Staphylococcus
Streptococcus
Enterococcus

Question 4

Bacterial Anaerobes (Gram+ and Gram-)

Answer 4

Gram+: Clostridium (spore) and Actinomyces (no spore)

Gram-: Bacteroides, Prevotella, Fusobacterium

Question 5

Gram positive Rods

Answer 5

Endospores: Clostridium and Bacillus

Not Endospores: Actinomyces (anearobic), Listeria, Mycobacterium, Nocardia, Corynebacterium (all aerobic)

Question 6

Gram Negative Cocci

Answer 6

Neisseria

Question 7

Gram Negative Spirochetes

Answer 7

Borrelia, Leptospira, Treponema (BLT!)

Question 8

Gram Negative Spirals

Answer 8

Campylobacter and Helicobacter

Question 9

Gram Negative Rods

Answer 9

Anaerobic: Bordatella, Brucella, Francisella, Legionella, Pseudomonas
(They were BORED, so BRUCE and FRANCIS of the LEGION spent a lot of AIR coming up with PSUEDONYMS.)

Question 10

Name Gram Positive Genera of bacteria

Answer 10

Cocci - Staphylo~ and Strepto~
Rod Nonsporulating - Actinomyces (anaerobic), Listeria, Mycobacterium, Nocardia, Corynebacterium (all aerobic)
Rod Spores - Clostridium (anaerobic) and Bacillus (aerobic or facultative anaerobic)
