Commonly associated diseases with Bacteroides Fragilis:
genital -,intra-abdominal - & pleuro-pulmonary infections
obligate anaerobic gram-negative bacteria can tolerate oxygen, why?
Have Catalase & superoxide dismutase
Obligate Anaerobic gram-negative bacteria cause characteristic infections:
- Tissue necrosis
- Abscess formation
- Polymicrobial
- Infections adjacent to mucosal surfaces (RTI, gastroenteritis)
Name gram-negative non-fermentive bacteria:
1. pseudomonas aeruginosa
2. burk-hold-eria cepacia
3. steno-tropho-monas malto-philia
4. Acine-to-bacter baumannii
Pseudomonas aeruginoase is part of natural flora ONLY in which groups ?
Immunocompromised
hospitalied patients
--> otherwise exogenous
Pseudomonas aeruginosa reservoir:
ubiquitous in environment = water/soil/vegetation
What sort of infection does pseudomonas aeruginosa primarily cause?
Primarily opportunistic infections = restricted to patients receiving broad-spectrum antibiotics that suppress normal intestinal flora
The virulence factor Elastase leads to hemorrhagic necrosis of skin caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa – what is the clinical name:
ect-hyma gangrenosum
Ect-hyma gangrenosum caused by which non-fermentative bacteria ?
pseudomonas aeruginosa - due to elastase
Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical presentation:
→BE PSEUDO Cool MEN
B – Burn & Wound infections
E – Endocarditis in IV drug abusers (IV= intravenous)
P- pneumonia in cystic fibrosis & immunocompremised
S- Sepsis caused by soft tissue, skin, UT & LRT infections
E- External malignant otitis media in diabetic patients
U- UTI
DO – diabetic osteo-chondritis (inflammation of bone&cartilage)
C- Corneal Infections (corneal ulcers)
MEN- Meningitis
Pseudomonas aeruginosa in cystic fibroses patients lead to which clinical presentation?
pneumonia
Pseudomonas aeruginos leads to External otits name its synonym?
swimmer's ear
Swimmer's ear/external otitis is caused by which bacteria?
pseudomonas aeruginosa
Pseudomonas aeruginosa Virulence Factors:
Elastase
Phospholipase C – is a hemolysin
Proteases
Exotoxin A,S,T
Pyo-cyanin– blue pigementation – catalyse production of H2O2&superoxide
Pyo-verdin– green pigmentation
Adhesins: pili, flagella,
CAPSULE– alginate is a mucoid exopolysaccharide forms capsule
LPS – endotoxin
Name all hospital-acquired gram-negative bacteria:
-> not part of natural flora
What sort of infection does Burkholderia cepacia primarily cause?
Primarily opportunistic infections = restricted to patients receiving broad-spectrum antibioticsthat suppress normal intestinal flora
Which two bacteria cause primarily opportunistic infections ?
Burkholderia cepacia
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Burkholderia cepacia reservoir
ubiquitous in environment
in CF patients (cystic fibrosis)
Which patients are highly susceptible for infection with Burkholderia cepacia
cystic fibrose patients– pneumonia + bacteremia
patients with CGD – chronic granulomatous disease
Clinical presentation of Burkholderia cepacia:
pulmonary infections
bacteremia
UTI
Name the opportunistic infections that burkholderia cepacia can cause
Steno-tropho-monas malto-philia clinical presentation
→ leads to nosocomial infections = opportunitsic infections in hospitalized patients – hospital-acquired infections
USUALLY= Bacteremia & Pneumonia
Acine-to-bacter baumannii similar clincial presentation as pseudomonas aeruginosa:
→ opportunistic pathogens – hospital-acquired infections
- Pneumonia
- bacteremia
- UTI
- Burn-wound infections
- Eye infections
