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, |

|
BACTERIA gram positive. Typically appear in chains.
Can cause: skin infections, sore throats, pneumonia, menigitis, UTI, rhematic fever, and tooth decay. |
|
