|
|
Pathogen assoc with neutrophils |
Bacteria |
|
|
Pathogen associated with lymphocytes |
viruses |
|
|
Pathogen associated with monocytes |
Nonspecific-increases with many types of infections |
|
|
pathogen associated with eosinophils |
the eukaryotes: fungal, protozoan, helminthic infections, and allergies |
|

pathogen associated with basophils |
allergies |
|
|
ELISA |
enzyme linked immunosorbent assay |
|
|
what is the purpose of indirect ELISA |
used to detect antibodies in the blood where the antigen is undetectable in the body. Example: determination of infection by HIV (antigen) |
|
|
Gram (+) -can become gram (-) with age. aerobic, streptobacilli, produces endospored, large nonpathogenic bacillus used in cytological studies because its size makes it easy to study under microscope. Produces casease which breaks down casein-protein that gives milk its white color. |
Bacillus megaterium |
|
|
gram positive coccus-resident of digestive tract-assoc with UTI-can lead to endocartis-abdominal infections-at risk with long term hospitalization and catheters. |
Enterococcus faecalis |
|
|
Gram negative rodopportunist bacterial pathogen that can lead to nosocomial infections: respiratory, G.I., wound, blood, and central nervous infections; found in the G.I tract and generally does not cause disease in a healthy individual |
Enterobacter aerogenes |
|
|
gram negative rod coliform group produces vitamins K and B complex montezumas revenge |
Escherichia coli |
|
|
gram negative rod lives in soil organic matter decomposer highly motile resistant to ampicillan and cephalosporin suseptible to trimethoprim |
Proteus vulgaris |
|
|
fruity odor and blue green pigment, gram negative rod, pathogenic with phagocytic resistant slime |
Pseudomonas aeruginosa |
|
|
gram negative motile rod, found growing in bathrooms where it looks pink and slimy. nosocomial, opportunist in AIDS victims |
Serratia marcescens |
|
|
Coliform bacteria |
Enteric (intestinal) bacteria that ferment lactose; levels are used to indicate food and water quality |
|
|
gram negative rod, peritrichous flagella; zoonotic especially in poultry in swine foodborne infections linked to raw meat, poultry, eggs, milk, and dairy products fever, headache, vomiting, diarrhea-life threatening in very young/old or immunocompromised |
Salmonella Enteritidis |
|
|
gram (+), cocci in gram like clusters, salt tolerant, associated with skin and mucus membranes, most resistant to non-spore formers |
Staphylococcus aureus |
|
|
on the skin opportunist, strains produce a slime layer which allow attachment to certain hospital apparatuses, infections at site of prosthetic implantation |
Staphylococcus epidermidis |
|
|
leading cause of UTI's-young women more susceptible to colonization-hydrolyzes urea to produce ammonia allowing growth in an acidic environment, spread through sexual intercourse |
Staphylococcus saprophyticus |
