SHORT STAPHED
This bacteria has a polysaccharide capsule that forms a biofilm that allows it to bind to prosthetic devices.
What is Staphylococcus epidermidis?
Cat Scratch Disease
What is Bartonella?
This bacteria causes meningitis in 20% of neonates. It is CAMP positive, hippurate positive, and exhibits tumbling motility at 25C.
What is Listeria monocytogenes?
TRUE OR FALSE
500,000 US laboratories are exposed to infectious material and cultures every day.
What is TRUE?
This type of organism is killed almost immediately in the presence of oxygen
What is obligate anaerobe?
This coagulase negative staph is associated with UTI's in sexually active young females
Double points for correct Novobiocin reaction
What is Staphylococcus saprophyticus?
What is Resistant?
This faintly staining gram negative rod grows best on BCYE agar and causes Pontiac Fever
What is Legionella?
This bacterial vaginosis causing bacteria is associated with the presence of clue cells.
What is Gardnerella vaginalis?
Bubonic Plague
Pneumonic Plague
What is Yersinia pestis?
Most common anaerobic gram negative rod isolated from soft tissue wounds that will grow on the KV plate
What is Bacterodes fragilis?
The slide coagulase test is a screening test using "Clumping Factor" for this form of coagulase
What is bound?
This musty/mushroom smelling gram negative rod is oxidase positive, catalase positive, and indole positive. It is associated with soft tissue infections following a bite or scratch.
What is Pasteurella?
This organism resembles beta hemolytic strep on the SBA plate but can be differentiated by gram stain. It is reverse CAMP positive and associated with pharyngitis.
What is Arcanobacterium haemolyticum?
This most commonly reported laboratory acquired infection is a tiny gram negative coccobacilli that grows best on chocolate agar and causes Undulant Fever.
What is Brucella?
This anaerobe is responsible for gas gangrene and food poising and produces a double zone of hemolysis
What is Clostridium perfringens?
S. aureus
S. intermedius
S. schleiferi
What are tube coagulase positive staphs?
This oxidase positive urea negative organism does not grow well on SBA or MAC. Bordet-Gengou or Regan-Lowe are often used for culture medium.
What is Bordetella pertussis?
This organism grows well on tomato juice agar and is normal flora of the female genital tract.
What is Lactobacillus?
Woolsorter's Disease is caused by the inhalation of spores from this bacteria.
What is Bacillus anthracis?
This gram positive rod is skin microbiota that is frequently isolated from blood as a contaminant.
What is Cutibacterium acnes?
MRSA can be detected by oxacillin resistance, presence of penicillin binding protein PBP2a, or encoded by these genes
What is mecA/mecC?
This oxidase positive gram negative rod is associated with urinary tract infections, particularly in females. The urea and nitrate reactions depend on the species isolated.
What is Oligella?
TRUE or FALSE
Vancomycin is large in size and cannot penetrate the outer membrane of most gram positive bacteria to reach their cell wall precursor targets.
DOUBLE POINTS: Name the drug class
What is FALSE? (Gram Negative)
DOUBLE: What is Glycopeptides?
This Biosafety Safety Level (BSL) is used for microbes that are dangerous and exotic, posing a high risk of aerosol transmission infections, which are frequently fatal without treatment or vaccines.
What is BSL-4?
This test determines whether an organism isolated under anaerobic conditions is a strict or facultative anaerobe.
What is aerotolerance?
