Term
|
Definition
- gram [+] cocci
- is a normal resident of nose, skin, gut, and vagina (usually not causing disease)
- Staph epidermis-normally harmless resident of the skin which is associated with serious nosocomial(aquired in hospital) infections (especially surgery)
- is pus forming (pyogenic)
- pathogenic forms of this strain produce coagulase which converts fibrinogen into fibrin making blood clot- this in turn makes staph more virulent because the clot resist phagocytosis

Term
Staphylococcus aureus
Skin infections: |
|
Definition
- Furuncle- infections of hair follicle or skin gland known as boils
- Carbuncle- more severe infection involving sucutaneous(deepest layer of integumentary system under dermis) at nape of neck, upper back, or buttocks
- Abcess-pyogenic lesion staph aureus infection
- Stye- meiobomian gland (modified sebaceous gland at rim of eyelids) infected by Staph aureus
- Impetigo- lesions that usually starts on face/nose and is spread from scratching- is also causes by streptococcus pyogenes (common in kids)
- SSSS- Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome- strain of staph aureus that contains plasmid (packet of DNA separate from chromosomal DNA and can replicated itself) for exfoliatin
- exfoliatin cause skin to peel off exposing reddened area beneath- infants and kids are affected most-occurs by mouth and nose and can spread

Staphylococcus aureus
Gut intotoxication: |
|
Definition
-
2nd most common cause of food poisoning
-
it is an intotoxication- NOT infection
-
you must ingest preformed enterotoxin (protein toxin of the intestines- associated with high protein foods
-
is intoxication of enterotoxin staph secretes
-
toxin likes warm conditions and promotes growth- toxin is stable at 100 degrees celsius
-
cold inhibits toxin
-
Source of bacteria is usually from food handlers-their handsores or snot
-
Contamination usually occurs after cooking
-
commonly found in pastries, potato salad, chicken salad
-
small and flat containers are best for less microorganism growth
-
food sitting out too long will grow bacteria!

Term
Staphylococcus aureus
Gut intoxication symptoms: |
|
Definition
- 1st appear after 2-4hours after ingestion of toxin
- Severe nausea, cramps, vomiting (projectile)
- usually self limting
- in 1-2 days you should be ok
- deaths are rare
|
|
|
Term
Stapyhlococcus aureus
that causes TSS
Toxic Shock Syndrome: |
|
Definition
- An intoxication w/ enterotoxin F that staph secretes
- 1st described in 1978
- commonly assocaited with menstrating females using tampons
- has Mg2+ depletion
- associated with c-sections, wound infections, and surgical wound infections where packing is used to absorb exudates
- 1980- 900 cases 97%female-5%mortality
- 1983-324 cases
- strains of staph aureus that cause TSS are always penicillin resistant as well as methicillin
|

|
Term
Staphylococcus aureus
Signs and symptoms of TSS: |
|
Definition
- High fever
- vomitting- profuse diarrhea
- sun-burn like rash
- strawberry tongue
- hypotension (b/c of vomitting and diarrhea)- leading to circulatory shock
- if female is menstrating and using tampons while vomitting and throwing up, then must go see doctor
- no immunity and 30% reoccur
|
|
|
Term
Staphylococcus aureus
Systemic infection: |
|
Definition
- usually spread from skin lesions
- not common in healthy individuals
- you're are risk after extensive surgery- can be caused by bed sores
- can infect all systems: menigitis, pneumonia, encocarditis, osteomylitis, seticemia
- primary infection of respitory, known as Staph pneumonia) occurs in immune supressed or deficient people
- treatment: PCN-G or PCN-V (oral)
- if peniciilin resistant then Cephalosporin
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- Gram (+) cocci
- there are many pathogenic species
- easier to kil unlike Staph. aureus
- can be killed by disinfectants, anitseptics, and physical control measures
|
|
|
Term
Streptococcus aureus
affects on blood agar |
|
Definition
- Alpha hemolytic- partial hemolysis
- Beta hemolytic- complete hemolysis
- Gamma hemolytic- no hemolysis
according to what Ab it stimulates host to produce
Group A-O strep exist
Group A and B most important
there are 80+ serotypes of Strep. pneumonia |
|
|
Term
Streptococcus species
Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology: |
|
Definition
- Pyogenic species: Strep. pyogenes & Strep. pneumoniae
- Oral species: Strep. mutans & Strep. salivarius
- Enterococci (in gut): Strep. faecalis
- Lactic acid- Strep. lactis
|
|

Pneumonicoccal Pneumonia
Occurance: |
|
Definition
- most common cause of Lobar pneumonia (lower lung) 60%-80% of all pneumonia
- endogenous infection- ppl w/ predisposing factors: diabetes, physical injury to bronchial treet, flu
- Bronchopneumonia- secondary infection of old and young usually not caused by Strep. pneumoniae
- Mortality 5-10% with treatment 20-40% were old age
- 23 capsular types of 80+ serotypes- causes 90% of disease

|
|
|
Term
Streptococcus pyogenes
Rheumatic fever: |
