Helicobacter pylori
H. pylori produces what kind of enzyme?
Urease
This bacterium causes a prototypical secretory diarrhea with stools famously described as looking like this
This specific pathotype of E. coli is the #1 cause of traveler's diarrhea
What is ETEC (Enterotoxigenic E. coli)
On a Gram stain, this bacterium is characteristically identified as this type of intracellular diplococci
What is gram-negative?
What test will come back negative if done on this bacterium?
Gram stain test
Standard "triple therapy" for an infection of this bacterium involves a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and two of these
Antibiotics
Cholera toxin causes massive fluid loss by activating this specific channel in the intestinal lining to secrete chloride and water
What is the CFTR channel
Antibiotics should be avoided when treating the O157:H7 strain of this bacterium, as they may increase the risk of this kidney-damaging syndrome
What is Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS)
In women, gonorrhea is a frequent cause of this ascending infection of the upper genital tract that can lead to infertility
What is Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)?
This organism is described by this biological term because it must live inside a host cell to complete its life cycle
What is an obligate intracellular organism
This bacterium is associated with what disease
Peptic ulcer disease
Genetic mutation of the CFTR channel in this disease, protects against cholera infection.
What is cystic fibrosis
Along with Group B Streptococcus, E. coli is a common cause of this ascending infection of the amniotic fluid and membranes
What is chorioamnionitis
This monoarticular complication occurs when the bacterium spreads through the blood to a large joint, such as the knee
What is septic arthritis
Specific serovars (L1–L3) of this bacterium cause this condition, which presents with proctitis and tender inguinal lymphadenopathy
What is lymphogranuloma venereum
This gastric site is where H. pylori gastritis typically begins before potentially progressing to involve the entire stomach
Antrum
Severe diarrhea from this pathogen can lead to this specific type of acid-base imbalance due to the loss of bicarbonate
What is metabolic acidosis
This strain of E. coli is responsible for bloody diarrhea, but does not pose risk of developing hemolytic uremic syndrome.
EIEC (enteroinvasive)
What is yellow, purulent drainage
If a pregnant mother gives birth with an active chlaymidia infection, this is a complication.
Conjunctivitis of the baby
