GN I
poorly antigenic, antiphagocytic, and a major virulence factor
What is a capsule?
Where pseudomonas likes to hang out.
What is aquatic environments? (recall: hot tub folliculitis)
partial hemolysis
What is alpha hemolysis?
identifies bacteria using proteins
What is MALDI-TOF?
Penicillinasae resistant penicillin (most important for us to know)
What is Nafcillin?
endotoxins
What are LPS and LOS? (toxicity associated with Lipid A)
this bacteria is associated with heat labile and heat stable toxins
What is E.Coli?
coagulase positive staphylococci
What is competence?
third generation cephalosporin
What is ceftriaxone?
selective and differential media for gram negative bacteria
What is MacConkey agar?
bacteria that can cause cavitary lesions in the lungs similar to TB
What is klebseilla?
Exfoliative toxins released by S. Aureus leads to intraepidermal blister formation.
What is scalded skin syndrome?
mobile genetic elements
What are transposons?
complexes with D-ala-D-ala precursors and interferes with formation of bridges between peptidoglycan chains
What is vancomycin?
indole + bacteria (most important one)
What is E.Coli?
virulence factor for salmonella
What is a type III secretion system?
beta-hemolytic, bacitracin susceptible, PYR positive
What is strep pyogenes (group A strep)?
this media gives us the ability to differentiate between salmonella and shigella
What is XLD? (tests for H2S production)
binds to plasma membrane, causes depolarization, and release of intracellular ions; inhibits DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis
What is daptomycin?
only ferments glucose
What is N. gonorrhoeae?
this bacteria has the ability to mimic the symptoms of appendicitis.
What is Yersinia Enterolitica?
This GP cocci is CAMP test +
conserved amongst almost all bacterial DNA
What is 16s subunit?
continuous infusion and/or dosing may be needed
