AAMI Microbiology for embalmers
Streptococcus pneumoniae - ANS-Common name is Pneumococcus , Also exists in
pairs and described as a diplococcus , Organism has a capsule
The causative agent of scarlet fever is staphylococcus aureus - ANS-False
The meningococcus enters the body by the nose and mouth - ANS-True
Which of the following organisms enters the body by the genital system? -
ANS-Gonorrhea
Ophthalmia neonatorum is caused by the Gonococcus - ANS-True
A nosocomial infection is one that originates - ANS-In Hospitals
Toxic shock syndrome is caused by ? - ANS-Staphylococcus aureus
The infection, puerperal sepsis is caused by an organism that enters the body by way of
- ANS-Hands or Instruments
The Beta hemolytic streptococcal organism causes milder infections than the alpha
hemolytic strep - ANS-False
Which organism cause lesions called abscesses? - ANS-Staphylococcus aureus
Crede's method is associated with which organism? - ANS-Gonorrhea
Staphylococcus aureus causes - ANS-food poisoning
There is a permanent naturally acquired active immunity to gonorrhea - ANS-False
Which of the following infection have a rash? - ANS-Scarlet Fever
The pneumococcus typically enters the body by way of a would - ANS-False
The meningococcus is transmitted via droplet infection through aerosols or
nasopharyngeal discharged from an infection person or carrier - ANS-True
,The organisms do not have to enter the body to cause a food intoxication as in a type of
food poisoning - ANS-True
Which of the following organisms have a capsule? - ANS-Streptococcus Pneumoniae
Which infections are transmitted by droplet infection? - ANS-Neisseria meningitidis
Neisseria meningitidis produces an endotoxin - ANS-True
Bronchopneumonia is milder then lobar pneumonia - ANS-True
Obligate aerobe - ANS-Must have free oxygen in order to develop
Obligate anaerobe - ANS-Can only exist in the absence of free oxygen- uses oxygen
containing compounds
Facultative aerobe - ANS-Prefers an environment with no oxygen, but may live in the
presence of oxygen - usually gets oxygen from oxygen- Containing compounds , but
may get it from free oxygen
Facultative anaerobe - ANS-Prefers an environment with oxygen, but may live without it
usually get oxygen from free oxygen, but can obtain it from oxygen - containing
compounds.
pyogenic cocci - ANS-are spherical bacteria that cause various suppurative
(pus-producing) infections in animals. Included are the Gram-positive cocci
Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus pneumoniae, and
the Gram-negative cocci, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis.
Pathogenicity - ANS-Microbe typically causes infections of the skin and superficial
tissues of the body. Results in
-Boils
-Furuncles
-Carbuncles
-Pimples
Staphylococcus aureus - ANS-Formation a dangerous exotoxin. Causes food
intoxication. Food not properly refrigerated or heated cocci grows and produce.
Symptoms -
-Nausea
, -Vomiting
-Diarrhea
Nosocomial infections - ANS-infections acquired in the hospital or medical facility
settings
toxic shock syndrome (TSS) - ANS-a severe illness characterized by high fever, rash,
vomiting, diarrhea, and myalgia, followed by hypotension and, in severe cases, shock
and death; usually affects menstruating women using tampons; caused by
Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes
Alpha hemolytic - ANS-Sight or incomplete hemolysis ( ex. tooth abscesses and sinus
infections)
Beta Hemolytic - ANS-Most virulent , complete hemolysis , acute and fulminating
infections
Gamma - ANS-Normally non-pathogenic and non-hemolytic
Streptococcus pyogenes / scarlet fever - ANS-Strep with a rash
Hemolytic strep - ANS-is cellulitis
Streptococcus pyogenes / Puerperal sepsis - ANS-Hemolytic streptococcus reaching
the uterus via hands and instruments
Streptococcus pyogenes / Rheumatic fever - ANS-Upper respiratory tract , complicated
by chronic disease of heart and joints ,by swelling , tenderness and fever
Staphylococcus aureus/ immunity - ANS-Natural immunity / serum antibodies shows
everyone has some exposure to
Streptococcus pyogenes / Immunity - ANS-Other Streptococcus pyogenes has NO
IMMUNITY
Scarlet fever has PERMANENT IMMUNITY
Streptococcus pneumoniae / Pneumonia - ANS-Inflammatory condition of the air sacs
(alveoli) braonchioles and smaller bronchi of the lungs.
