Hdm Tbl 3

Front 1

Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Listeria monocytogenes

Back 1

GRAM-POSITIVE Bacteria

Front 2

E. coli, Salmonella enterica, Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Back 2

GRAM-NEGATIVE BACTERIA

Front 3

Myobacterium spp., Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Nocardia spp.

Back 3

Neither gram-positive or negative.

Tested with ACID-FAST stain because they have MYCOLIC ACID (waxy lipid), and lack cell walls and peptidoglycan.

Front 4

Key Bacterial Antigen Recognition: TLR 5, TLR 2, TLR 9, TLR 4, TLR 6

Back 4

TLR 5: Flagellin

TLR 2: Peptiglycan

TLR 9: bacterial DNA

TLR 4: Lipopolysaccharide in Gram-Negative

TLR 6: Along with TLR 2, recognize Gram-Positive Teichoid/Lipoteichoic Acids

Front 5

Key Viral Antigen Recognition: TLR 3, TLR 7, TLR 8, TLR 9

Back 5

TLR 3 - dsRNA

TLR 7, 8 - ssRNA

TLR 9 - unmethylated CpG nucleotides, same as bacteria.

Front 6

Key Fungal Antigen Recognition: TLR 2, 4, 6

Back 6

All recognize fungal chitin, mannans, and beta glucan/glycans

Front 7

Candida Albicans

Back 7

Most important opportunistic fungi.

Form white, creamy colonies. Exists naturally in body until immunocompromised.

Causes yeast infections of mouth and vagine, rashes, erythemous skin.

Front 8

Giardia duodenalis and Beaver Fever

Back 8

Protozoan parasite, flagellated.

Beavers are hosts. Reside in host intestine before producing infectious cysts in the intestine, which is excreted along with feces into water sources.

Ingestion period is 1-4 weeks, causes diarrhea/flatulence/lipid in stool.

Front 9

Taenia solium

Back 9

Helminth parasite tapeworm.

Humans serve as intermediate hosts with larva. Larval infection of human causes Cysticercosis, making cysts in muscle/brain/lungs, can cause acquired epilepsy.

Larvae death in human releases antigenic material that causes inflammation.

Front 10

Enterobius vermicularis, Ascaris lumbricoides

Back 10

Helminths, nematode unsegmented roundworms.

Front 11

Fasciola hepatica, Schistosoma

Back 11

Helminth trematode flukes. Flat, fleshy.
