Mucosal surfaces, Enterobacteriacea-diarrheal diseases Salmonella and Shigella- invasive bacterial pathogens MM (2/27/18) Flashcards
(113 cards)
types of gram-negative pathogens
Enterobacteriaecaeae
Vibrinoaceae
what is mucosal surface
interacts with air and secretes mucus
defense of mucosal surface
innate immunity, adaptive immunity, nonspecific barriers
why study GI diseases
lots of people get it, 500,000 in hospital, 5000 deaths
$10 bill in treatment\
begin in the oral/fecal route
why E. Coli outbreak in germany in 2011
alfa sprouts
852 cases of hemolyric uremic syndrome and 32 people died
E. Coli in chipotle
53 cases, 20 hospitalization
0 death
shiga toxin
how gram negative mucosal pathogens leaves the feces to get to your mouth
feces food fluid fingers flies formites fornication
inoculum size
how many needed to cause disease (some low-shigella and EHEC, EIEC, others high-ETEC, EPEC,vibrio)
natural barrier defences in GI
acidity:1-2 in stomach then 9 in Small intensine
Motility: stuff moves through Small intestine fast so bacteria can’t atach
Mucous layer and underlying glycocalyx
Tight juntion
where in the GI do we get lots of bacteria
near the end
what blocks infection with gram negative pathogen
normal flora natural defenses of GI Lysozymes (doesn't work too well against gram negative though to unexposed cell wall) Lactoferrin Cathelicidin Defensins Secretory immunoglobulins
action of lysozyme
cleaves beta 1,4-glycosidic linkage between N-acetylnuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine
action of lactoferrin
stops bacteria by sequestering iron
action of cathelicidin
disrupts bacterial membrane of Gm- and Gm+ and fungi
action of Defensins
creates pores on all microbes
who produced alpha-defensins
neutrophils and paneth cells (intestine
who produced beta defenisn
epithelial cells
how do bacteria overcome innate barrier defneces
acid resitance
Fimbriae/pili_adhere to tissue and avoid being spread
BActerial strucutre
what bacterial tend to be acid resitant
low infectious dose (Shigella and Enteroinvasive E Coli
What bacterial strucutres aid in overcoming pathogenic innate barrier densences
gram-/gram+ cell membrane sesnitive to bactericidal compounds
Cationic amino acids into cell membrane to reduce efects of cationic antimicrobial peptides
Siderophoers sequester iron
what immunity are macrophages part of
cell mediated immunity via TH1
use PAMPS
whta receptor is activated by gram negative bacteria
TLR4
activation of pattern recognition receptors on macrophages laed to
inflammatory response
morphology of enterobacteriaceae family
gram -
no spor
non acid fast
rods (coccobacilli to elongate filamentous rods)
