gram negative diplococci
coffee bean shape
neisseria gonorrhoeae
fastidious, requires enriched growth medium, increased concentrations of CO2
ox pos
weak acidic products on trypticase agar
neisseria gonorrhoeae
causes purulent discharge, dysuria, frequency
neisseria gonorrhoeae
affects more females than males
female carriers are estimated to be over 30%
neisseria gonorrhoeae
urethritis, cervicitis, proctitis, pharyngitis, conjunctivitis, epidymitis, PID, arthritis
neisseria gonorrhoeae
pathogenesis: sexual contact with infected mucosal tissues and specific attachment due to pilli
neisseria gonorrhoeae
spread is due to invasion of membranes- nonciliated columnar epithelium and creates acute suppuration- may go to the uterine tubes or epididymis; in severe infections, may spread to the stream and invade joints
neisseria gonorrhoeae
no protective immunity- repeated exposure will lead to re-infection
neisseria gonorrhoeae
pili
lipooligosaccharide that causes inflammation andtissue damage
outer membrane proteins- strain variation
IgA1 protease
neisseria gonorrhoeae
what are the outer membrane proteins in neisseria gonorrhoeae?
1- porin
2- opacity that renders the colonies colorless
3- reduction- modifiable proteins stimulate Ab to ind IgG and interfere with intracellular killing
collect specimen from cervix or male urethra and do a gram stain
-in males, gram stain with polys and gram neg diplococci are positive
in females, need culture
neisseria gonorrhoeae
neisseria that metabolizes glucose
neisseria gonorrhoeae
neisseria that metabolizes glucose and maltose
neisseria meningitidis
grows on nutrient agar
moraxella catarrhalis- grows on nutrient agar but resembles neisseria on slide
twar strain
chlamydia pneumonia
obligate intracellular parasite with two forms- elementary infectious body and reticulate (non-infectious) body
chlamydia trachomatis
resembles a gram negative bacteria
chlamydia trachomatis
ulcer on genitalia is initial symptom
chlamydia trachomatis
suppurative inguinal adenitis, lymphatic obstruction and rectal strictures
chlamydia trachomatis
urethritis in males
females: mucopurulent cervicitis, salpingitis, PID
chlamydia trachomatis
neonate: inclusion conjunctivitis and pneumonia
chlamydia trachomatis
what happens if you don't treat conjunctivitis in a newborn that is infected with chlamydia trachomatis?
blinding trachoma- chronic keratoconjunctivitis leading to corneal scarring and blinding
steadily increasing incidence with twice as many men as women
chlamydia trachomatis
blinding chlamydia spread by
person to person or fomites
infect cells by attaching to them and becoming phagocytosed and then avoiding lysosomal fusion
chlamydia trachomatis
non-replicating elementary bodies metabolically activate to reticulate bodies and develop into elementary bodies
then they lyse and leave the host cell to start a new infection
chlamydia trachomatis
direct antigen testing by EIA or ELISA to id
DFA stain
isolationin mccoy cell line
inclusions in conjunctival scrapings
chlamydia trachomatis
ddx for urethritis and cervicitis with mucopurulent discharge
gonorrhea
chlamydia
ddx for vaginits with mucopurulent discharge
bacterial vaginosis
candidiasis
trichomonas
genital ulcers
herpes
syphilis
heamophilus ducryei

thin homogenous vaginal discharge that contains clue cells
release of an amine- like odor when mixed with 10% KOH
bacterial vaginosis
causes of bacterial vaginosis
gardnerella vaginalis
mobiluncus sp
curved anaerobic gram negative rods
mobiluncus
malodorous frothy discharge associated with burning, itching, chafing, diffuse vaginal erythema
thrichomoniasis
diffuse papulsquamous eruption
(palms and soles)
treponema pallidum
long thing helical bacteria with rotary motility and a gram negative wall
lacks endotoxin
treponema pallidum
causes syphilis
t. pallidum
causes yaws
t. pertenue
occurs in the warm humid tropics
raspberry-like sores that are painless first, then development of bone pain and swelling of hands and fingers
yaws
causes pinta
t. carateum
red scaly lesions on the skin with disfiguring pigment changes
pinta
small mucous patch, then raised, eroding lesions on limbs and trunk
periostitis of leg bones is common and gummas of the nose and soft palate develop in later stages
bejel
causes bejel
t. endemicum
painless ulcer is primary sign
syphilis
single chancre that develops 3 weeks after exposure and lasts about a month
primary syphilis
skin rash with infectious lesions that will resolve spontaneously
secondary syphilis
gummas develop on skin or other tissues
characterized by granuloma formation
tertiary syphilis
can be visualized on a wet mount with dark field microscopy
syphilis
chancroid is caused by
haemophilus ducreyi
soft chancre that is painful with a sloughy, purulent edge that bleeds easily
haemophilus ducreyi
is slow-growing on a culture of special media
haemophilus ducreyi
phthirus pubis
pubic lice
sarcoptes scabiei
scabies
itchy, reddish papules
