streptococcus pneumonia is exogenous or endogenous 

endogenous - part of natural flora of throat and nasopharynx 

more common in children then adults 

Pneumonia in streptococcus pneumoniae apperas when: 

endogenous oral organism are aspirated into lower airways 

Streptococcus pneumoniae appears most commonly in 

Most common diseases in Streptococcus Pneumonia are: 

Streptococcus pneumonia invasive diseases are: 

Streptococcus pneumoniae purulent / pyogenic diseases are 

Two types of anti-pneumococcal vaccines 

  • polysaccharide
  • conjugate 

Two types of anti-pneumococcal vaccines, what does the polysaccharide vaccine do ? 

Conjugate Anti-pneumococcal Vaccination does?

 

Enterococci are 

Enterococci (S. faecalis and S. Faecium) are transmitted ?

Enterococi (S. faecalis and S. faecium) virulence factors 

Enterococi (S. faecalis and S. faecium) grow 

Most common infections by enterococci 

 

- two of them are also diseases that appaer but not as frequently 

Streptococci of oral cavity are

Streptococci of oral cavity cause endogenous infection like 

Bacillus Anthracis causes mainly 

anthrax

Bacillus Anthracis has 4 virulence factors name them 

Bacillus Anthracis the toxine are encoded by plasmin and contain: 

Bacillus Anthracis the toxine are encoded by plasmin and contain PA,EF and LF when are they toxic?

Bacillus anthracis has a unique capsule name it 

y-D-glutamic acid

What does the PA on the plasmin pXO1 in Bacillus Anthracis?

What does the LF when combined with PA in BAcillus anthracis? 

 

What does the EF when combined with PA in BAcillus anthracis? 

Lethal toxin in bacillus anthracis causes 

Edema toxin in bacillus anthracis causes 

Reservoir of Bacillus Anthracis 

Transmission in Bacillus Anthracis ?

How is bacillus anthracis spread to human via cutaneous infection? 

- spores of bacillus can enter skin through break or cut 

 

  • approximately 95% of naturally aquired anthrax infections in humans 
  • from contaminated soil, infected animal product (hide,wool) or infected animals 

 

How is bacillus anthracis spread to human via ingestion infection? 

spores are taken up into human body by eating contaminated meat 

  • usually very rare in humans 
  • mostly in animals 
  • contaminated soil and animal products can remain infectious over many years due to spore

Symptoms of Bacillus Anthracis by ingestion of spores? 

Symptoms of Bacillus Anthracis by inoculation of spores? 

 

 inoculation - cutaneous infection 

How is bacillus anthracis spread to human via inhalation? 

Symptoms of Bacillus Anthracis by inhalating spores? 

 

 

DIsease named Respiratory Anthrax 

Intestinal anthrax also named gastrointesintal anthrax has two sites of infection 

Intestinal anthrax also named gastrointesintal anthrax has two sites of infection if in upper intestinal tract it causes? 

Intestinal anthrax also named gastrointesintal anthrax has two sites of infection if in cecum, lower ileum it causes

spore of bacillus anthraxis activates when ? 

Inhalation anthrax caused by bacillus anthracis also named 

respiratory anthrax

Bacillus cereus is
