Rickettsia
Gram Negative, Bacilli or coccobacilli BACTERIA
Obligate intracellular parasite
Hast to have a host to grow (cell cultures or chick embryos)
Causes Typhus: damage the permeability of blood which causes a spotted rash.
Neisseria
Aerobic Gram Negative diplococci that usually inhabit mucus membranes of mamals.
BACTERIA
Pseudomonas
Gram Negative rods, aerobic and anaerobic. Motile by polar flagella. BACTERIA
Puesudomonas aeruginosa: bluegreen pigment and rotten fruit smell. Anywhere there is water you worry about this. Can cause swimmers ear (ottitis externa). When you have burn victims anything that is dead must come off beacause of this!
Vibrio
Gram Negative rods that are slightly curved, facultatively anaerobic, found in most aquatic habitats
Rivers oceans lakes, where people can poop. BACTERIA
Vibrio Cholerea: causes cholerae, lose 4-5 gallons of water from dirrehea
Nisseria Gonorrhea
inflammation of urethra in males and cervix in females
Nisseria Meningitids
cairred as normal flora in upper respiratory tract. Problems when it gets into your blood. Covers the brain and spinal cord. Explosive or fulminant progression. Lipid A endotoxin
Enterobacteriales (5)
BACTERIA, anaerobic, striaight, gram negative rods. Often inhabit the intestinal tracts of mamals. Active fermenters of gulcose and other carbs.
Escherichia Coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Proteus, and Yersinia
Escherichia
Member of the Enterobacteriales. BACTERIA
Most common cause of a UTI, from persons own intestianl flora. Known to ferment lactose.
E Coli 0157:H7 is known for producing toxins that can cause deadly food-borne illness
Salmonella
Member of the enterobacteriales BACTERIA
potentialy pathogenic, common inhabitant in animal intestinal tracts mainly poultry and cattle.
Can cause typhoid fever
salmonellosis
Shigella
Member of the enterobacteriales BACTERIA
only found in humans.
can cause bacillary dysentaery: blood or puss comes out of the rectum. Can also cause shigellosis
Protues
Member of the enterobacteriales BACTERIA
move like crazy when growin on agar "wind up toy movement"
Cause UTI infections and wound infections
Yersinia
Member of the enterobacteriales BACTERIA
Yersinia pestis causes "plague", black death of midevil europe. Swollem lymph nodes known as buboes
Heamphilus
BACTERIA gram negative bacilli commonly inhabit the mocus membranes of the upper respiratory tract, mouth, vagina, and intestinal tract.
Haemphilus influenzea: 2nd invader in flu, can cause meningitis, airway infections and otitis media.
Haemohilus influenzea type b: Hib vaccine for ottis media and meningitis.
Epsilonproteobacteria
BACTERIA slender, gram negative rods that are helical or vibrioid.
Campylobacter Jejuni: leading cause of foodborne intestinal disease in humans. Zoonoeses and an autoimmune disease
Helicobacter Pylori: most common cause of stomach ulcers and major cause of stomach cancer.
Clostridium
BACTERIA gram positive, obligate anaerobe, endospore-forming bacilli. Found in soil and stomach track.
Can cause tetanus and gasgangrene (Clostiridium difficile)
Bacillus
BACTERIA gram positive, typically rods that produce endo-spores, aerobic or faculitatively anearobic.
Bacillus Anthrax; causes anthrax.
Bacillus thuringiensis: produces intracellular crystals. BT corn
Staphylococcus
grap-like clusters, gram positive, BACTERIA. Grow well in osmotic pressure and low mositure (human skin or in the nose)
Staphylococcus aureus: can cause skin infections, impetigo,
Lactobacillus
BACTERIA gram positive, aerotolerant anearobes part of normal flora. Used in industrial fermentation.
Found in the vagina and intestinal tracts
Lactobacillus acidphilus: used in the production of yogurt, found in normal flora of the vagina.
Steptococcus
BACTERIA gram positive. Typically appear in chains.
Can cause: skin infections, sore throats, pneumonia, menigitis, UTI, rhematic fever, and tooth decay.
Listeria
BACTERIA, gram positive. Spins and dances like a ballerinia.
Listeria monocytogenes: get from contaminated animal products, dairy. Can cause damage to fetus in pregnant women.
Mycoplasma
Gram positive BACTERIA.
Highly pleomorphic, they have no cell wall. Can make filaments that look like fungi.
Mycoplasma Pneumonia: common form of mild or walking pneumonia
Bacterioides
gram negative, nonmotile, anarobic, bacilli.
Cause serious infections following wounds and produce a foul odor.
Borrelia
Lyme disese. Transmitted by deer ticks, can manifest for years. Get a bullseye rash.
