Cards

Term
Virulence factors of Staph
Definition
Hemolysins, Toxins, Enzymes, Protein A
Term
Toxins of Staph
Definition
Leukocidin, Exfoliatin, TSST-1, Enterotoxin
Term
Enzymes
Definition
Coagulase, Fibriolysin, DNAse, Hyaluronidase, Penicillinase
Term
Skin infections of Staph
Definition
Folliculitis, Furuncles, Carbuncles, Impetigo, Scalded skin syndrome
Term
Deeper infections of Staph
Definition
Pneumonia, Septicemia, Osteomyletis, Toxic Shock, Staphylococcal entercolitis (superinfection)
Term
Coagulase negative bacteria
Definition
nonpathogenic, but oppotunistic when displaced from normal habitat
Term
MRSA
Definition
methicillin-resistent staph, nonsocomail infections in 5-10% of patients
Term
Epidemiology of staph
Definition
30% of general population are nasophyrangeal carriers of S aureus (70-80%) of hospital staff), everyone has S epidermidis and saprophyticus on body
Term
how to classify stains of strep
Definition
hemolytic activity: alpha = discolored zone, beta = clear zone, gamma = no change
Term
Facultative anerobes of strep
Definition
pyogentic (beta), viridans (alpha), and enterococcus and Pneumococci
Term
S pyogenes
Definition
Lancefield group A, most likely to be isolated, found in throat
Term
Beta hemolytic/ pyogenic species
Definition
S. pyogenes, s. agalactiae
Term
viridans, alpha hemolytic
Definition
S angius
Term
Enterococcus group
Definition
E. faecalis
Term
Pneumococci
Definition
S. pneumonia
Term
S. agalactae
Definition
pyogenic, group B, 2nd common isolate, typically vaginal
Term
S angius
Definition
group H, oral mucosa, viridan (alpha)
Term
E.faecalis
Definition
enterococcus, intestines, Group D
Term
S.pneumonia
Definition
much more related than previously thought so it was added to strep genus
Term
Microaerophiles strep
Definition
found in body cavities, cariogenic, cause cavities, referred to as S. Mutans
Term
Obligately anaerobic strep
Definition
vagina, intestines, Peptostreptococcus, Peptococcus
Term
Lancefield classification
Definition
only for beta hemolytic, based on antigenic differences of a group, specific cell wall polysaccharides, A-V, group A pyogenes has 80 subgroups = type specific M protien
Term
Group A
Definition
responsible for 90& human infections, diveded into 80 antigenic types = M protein type specific
Term
Virulence factors of Group A, beta hemolytic strep
Definition
M protein, Enzymes, Toxins, Protein F
Term
Enzyme virulence factors of strep
Definition
S Treptolysins-hemolysins, streptokinase, streptodornase, hyaluronidase, extracellular neruaminidase
Term
toxins of group A strep
Definition
erythrogenic exotosin, Cardiohepatic toxin, Nephrotoxin
