|
What is unique about the microbiology of Clostridium difficile and pseudomembranous colitis? How does it happen?
|
Clostridium difficile's spore can live outside the body and can evade many cleaning methods. When broad-spectrum antibiotics wipe out normal gut flora, C.difficile takes over and causes pseudomembranous colitis, or watery diarrhea.
|
|
|
Why is such a large number of Salmonella bacteria required to cause infection?
|
The organism must be able to survive the passage way though the stomach acid. The greater the number, the more likely some will make it through alive and replicate.
|
|
|
Differentiate between diarrhea and dysentery.
|
Diarrhea affects the small intestine and is watery.
Dysentery affects the colon and is not watery, it is mucoid and sometimes bloody. |
|
|
Four of the following are not Enterobacteriaceae. Which are they?
Enterococcus Morganella Klebsiella Vibrio Campylobacter Erwinia Yersinia Neisseria |
Enterobacteriaceae are gram negative, rods, facultative anaerobes, fermenting sugars to produce lactic acid.
The four that are not Enterobacteriaceae are: Enterococcus (coccus) Campylobacter (spiral) Vibrio (curved rod) Neisseria (diplocci) |

|
|
E. coli O157:H7 is equivalent to this:
|
EHEC (Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli

|
|
This disease is traceable to a human carrier and caused by Salmonella typhi.
|
Typhoid fever
|
|
|
Salmonella would be found in this organ of the carrier.
|
gallbladder
|

|
Psudomonas aeruginosa is best known because of its
|
antibiotic sensitivity
|
|
|
Whooping cough can be prevented with this vaccine.
