Vibrio Vulnificus
A
- Septicimia, cellulitis, gastroenteritis
11
Q
Camplylobacter Jejuni
A
- Microaerophilic, curved bacilli
- Gastroenteritis esp. from contaminated chicken or raw milk
12
Q
Salmonella Enteritidis
A
- Antigenic types B & D predominate in USA
- Gastroenteritis (diarrhea), esp from contaminated poultry and reptiles
- Invasion of intestinal mucous membrane but w/o significant deeper invasion or bloodstream invasion
13
Q
Salmonella typhi
A
- Typhoid fever
- initial invasion and multiplication w/in intestinal membrane followed by invasion of bloodstream
- Invasion/localization in gallbladder, spleen, liver, and bones
14
Q
Shigella
A
- Antigenic groups D and B predominate in USA
- Dysentery (bacillary dysentery, shigellosis) - invasion of intestinal epithelial cells with sloughing and bleeding
- Exotoxin produced by some strains
- endotoxins stimulate some disease responses
15
Q
Escherichia coli
A
- Genes from most toxins on plasmids
- Normal fecal flora
- Urinary tract infections (adherence and colonization)
- ETEC - severe watery diarrhea due to CHOLERA-LIKE enterotoxins esp in TRAVELERS
- EHEC - hemorrhagic colitis, enteroinvasive - invasion of intestinal epithelium, dysentery/bloody diarhhea, SHIGA-TOXINS, endotoxin)
- May cause hemolytic uremic syndrome; predominantly due to serotype O157:H7
16
Q
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
A
- Acid fast bacillus
- Use 3 to 5 drugs to overcome multi-drug resistance
- PRIMARY TB - mild/asymptomatic - skin test pos; chest x-ray neg; no sputum produced
- Tubercle bacteria survive macrophage & in lymph nodes
- CMI slows growth & causes inflammation; bacteria contained w/in tubercles; disease remains latent/dormant possibly for years
- SECONDARY TB - clinical TB - skin test pos, x-ray pos, sputum pos
- CMI fails to contain growth; tubercles (ghon complex) necrotic; enlarge & rupture into airways and blood vessels
