Which Zoonotic Bacteria is a travel-associated disease and what is the clinical presentation?

Brucella causing brucellosis - undulant fever 

Entering site for infection by Brucella:

Conjunctiva

Lungs – mucous membranes

Skin 

GI tract

Brucella after being phagocytosed to which location it is carried?

  • Kidney 
  • Liver 
  • Spleen 
  • Bone Marrow 

→ causing Systemic spread – Septicemia

ACUTE Brucellosis clinical presentation (caused by Brucella meli-tensis):

→ up to 8 weeks (usually 1-3) 

flu-like symptoms / non-specific symptoms

PROLONGED Brucellosis clinical presentation:

→ months 

  1. characteristic = undulant fever (bang disease)

  2. Arthritis 

  3. GI symptoms 

less common neurologic & cardiovascular mainfestation

Chronic Brucellosis clinical presentation:

→ more than a year (3-6 months) 

Chronic fatigue – chronisches erschöpfungssyndrome 

Arthritis 

Localized infection

Klebsiella pneumonia Virulence Factor

capsule – responsible for bloody sputum

Klebsiella pneumonia clinical presentation

MOST IMPORTANT = community- or hospital-acquired primary lobar pneumonia 

*UTIs

*Soft tissue & Wound infection

Klebsiella pneumonia characteristic for primary pneumonia?

bloody sputum 

Proteus mirabilis virulence factor:

urease 

LPS (gram-negative) 

very motile

Proteus mirabilis reservoir:

natural flora of human

Proteus mira-bilis Risk Group:

immunocompromised 

hospitalized = hospital-acquired infection (nosocomial infection)

Proteus mirabilis clinical presentation

OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTION

  1. kidney stones 
  2. UTI (cystitis/ pyelonephritis) → SEPSIS

Proteus mira-bilis causes endogenous or exogenous infection?

Endogenous = opportunisitic infection

Function of Endotoxin in LPS:

lipid A = endotoxin – released at cell lysis 

Function: 

  1. Complement Activation

  2. Fever induction 

  3. Release of Cytokines – endotoxin shock & death 

  4. Recruitment of WBC

Name general Virulence Factors for Entero-bacteria-ceae

Capsule – protection from phagocytosis 

Flagella – motility 

Pili/ Fimbria – adhesion 

 

Endotoxin – Lipid A 

Exotoxins 

Enterotoxins 

Cytotoxins – damage to host cell (shiga toxin) 

 

Name the function of K-antigen

it is th (K)apsule that covers the O-antigen (the outermost portion of the LPS)

What is the function of the H-antigen:

only motile flagella will possess this antigen – e.g. shigella is nonmotile, thus no H-antigen 

 

What for are O-antigen, K-antigen and H-antigen used?

For antigenic Classification

Name Entero-bacteria-ceae that are non-motile – have no Flagella:

Escheri-chia Coli reservoir:

human natural intestinal flora – in colon 

 

Escheri-chia Coli is member of normal comensal flora that can cause?

Name the five groups of E.Coli causing intestinal disease (Diarrhea)

ETEC – entero-toxigenic E.coli -small intestine

EPEC – entero-pathogenic E.coli – small intestine 

EAEC – entero-aggregative E.coli -small intestine

EHEC/STEC – Shiga toxin-producing E.coli -large intestine

EIEC – entero-invasive E.coli – large intestine

Escheri-chia Coli causing INTESTINAL DISEASE is the commensal pathobionts or the pathogenic form?

pathogenic form

Transmission of ETEC, EPEC, EAEC& EIEC:

FOOD- BORNE 

→ fecal-oral exposure to contaminated food or water or surfaces

Transmission of EHEC/STEC:

EHEC/STEC: entero-hemorrhagic or shiga toxin-producing E.coli

food-borne – like the others 

CLOSE CONTACT – direct spread

Reservoir of ETEC, EPEC, EAEC, EHEC/STEC:

Reservoir of EIEC:

Escheri-chia Coli causing ETEC write the full name and clinical presentation: 

 

ETEC – entero-toxigenic E.coli 

clinical presentation: secretory diarrhea / travelor diarrhea

ETEC a intestinal disease of E.coli is causing what type of diarrhea?

TRAVELERS DIARRHEA

ETEC name the Virulence Factors causing secretory diarrhea:

ETEC - entero-toxigenic 

Enterotoxin = Heat-stable (Sta&STb) – only STa associated with human disease 

Enterotoxin = Heat-labile (LT-I & LT-II) – most commonly LT-I 

Adhesins= Colonization Factor Antigens (CFAI/ CFAII/CFAIV)

Escheri-chia Coli causing EPEC write the full name and clinical presentation:

EPEC – entero-pathogenic E.coli 

clinical presentation:infant diarrhea –characterized by watery diarrhea

 

EPEC name the Virulence Factors causing infant diarrhea:

→ only adhesins NO ENTERTOXINS 

Adhesin – BFP (bundle-forming pili) 

Adhesin – intimin

Escheri-chia Coli causing EAEC write the full name and clinical presentation:

EAEC – entero-aggregative E.coli
