G (+)
The two major classes of G (+) bacteria can be distinguished by this feature:
What is catalase test?
Streptococcus = catalase (-)
Staphylococcus = catalase (+)
Vibrio cholera, campylobacter jejuni, C. diff, and salmonella are all spread by which form of transmission?
Hemolysis on blood agar is used to differentiate between what?
What are strains of Streptococcal species?
Osteomyelitis is most commonly caused by which bacterium?
What is Staphylococcus aureus?
This antibiotic binds D-ala-D-ala of cell wall precursors and inhibits elongation of the peptidoglycan chain
What is vancomycin?
This bacteria is known for surviving at near freezing temperatures, contributing to its pathogenesis
What is Listeria monocytogenes?
Gram (-) bacteria generally produce these types of toxins that reside in the lipid portions of lipopolysaccharides
What are endotoxins?
Tellurite agar, Loeffler's medium, and ELEKs test are used to identify which bacterium?
What is Corynebacterium diptheriae?
"Walking" pneumonia is most commonly caused by this bacterium, but can also be caused by another. What are these two bacteria?
What are Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydophila pneumoniae?
Augmentin is a combination of which two drugs?
What are clauvanic acid and amoxicillin?
This bacteria, which often produces back eschars, produces what two toxins?
What are lethal factor and edema factor?
The shiga and shiga-like toxins of Shigella and EHEC work by causing what?
What is endothelial damage by binding to the 60S ribosomal subunit?
What bacterium forms a double zone of hemolysis on blood agar?
What is Clostridia perfringens?
SPE is an exotoxin most commonly associated with which illnesses?
What are scarlet fever, TSS-like syndrome, and Necrotizing fasciitis?
This peptidoglycan cross-linking inhibitor is associated with interstitial nephritis
What is Nafcillin?
This bacteria is an aerobic, branching, filamentous rod that is catalase and urease (+). It is found in soil but does not form spores.
What is Nocardia asteroides?
The virulence of Vibrio cholera includes which two factors?
What are toxin-coregulated pilus and the vibrio cholera toxin?
What two G(-) bacteria turn pink on MacConkey agar?
What are Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) and Klebsiella pneumoniae?
This anaerobic, branching, filamentous rod, is most commonly associated with cervicofacial disease
What is Actinomyces israelli?
What is doxycycline?
An alpha-toxin, leading to myonecrosis and hemolysis, and a theta-toxin, involving PFO and leading to cell lysis and death, are associated with this G(+) bacterium.
What is Clostridia perfringens?
A polysaccharide capsule, adhesive pili, and LPS endotoxin are characteristic of which anaerobic bacterium?
What is Bacteroides fragilis?
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is distinguishable on what medium?
What is Eaton's agar?
This bacteria is most commonly found in lung and brain abscesses
What is Nocardia asteroides?
Multiple aminoglycosides are not given together because of their
What are nephro-, oto- and neurotoxicities?
