Haemophilus, Bordetella, and Brucella correct answers These three bacteria are Coccobacilli,
which are a type of bacteria that are shaped like short rods or ovals. Cocci are sphere-shaped
bacteria and bacilli are rod-shaped bacteria.
Haemophilus influenzae correct answers - Coccobacilli that like to exist in singles and short
chains. Young cells can have capsules
- They are found in the upper respiratory tract
Culture Mediums correct answers Like rich medias like brain heart infusion (BHI) agar, or
chocolate agar, which is agar that is prepared with heated/cooked blood, and it turns brown
instead of red.
Chemicals needed for the organism to grow: correct answers ....
X Factor correct answers Hemin
V Factor correct answers Nicotine Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD
Satellite Phenomenon correct answers Associated with NAD. On a petri plate, staph is inoculated
and haemophilus influenzae if carefully inoculated next to it. The staph will produce NAD into
the medium, and the haemophilus will use it to grow.
Transformation correct answers Genetic process where DNA is taken up by a haemophilus cell
to give the cell new qualities like drug resistance, and drug resistant plasmids have been found
that have a resistance to ampicillin in hemophilus
Variation correct answers Some colonies may produce capsules and others may not
Antigenic Structure correct answers The capsule is an important antigen, as well as LPS and
proteins
Secondary Infection correct answers Hemophilus influenza likes to move into a respiratory tract
that has been damaged by flu virus
Other Infections correct answers Patient may also have infections like otitis (ear infection) or
meningitis
Septic arthritis correct answers may occur if the bacteria moved to the joints
Antibodies correct answers 75% of adults have antibodies to haemophilus influenza, because it is
a common infection. Fever is common, but there may also be a asymptomatic infection
Diagnosis correct answers First need a specimen taken by a nasopharyngeal swab, which is wire
inserted up the nose. Also, specimens may be taken from pus, blood, or spinal fluid.
, Identification correct answers Immunofluorescence or a capsule swelling test may be performed
to identify the organism. Culture can also be done
Treatment correct answers If someone haemophilus influenza meningitis, chance of dying is
90%.
Antibiotics of choice correct answers Ampicillin, chloramphenicol, or cephalosporin
Epidemiology correct answers Organism is passed through air from person to person. There is a
capsule vaccine for mothers who do not have the antibodies so that she can be vaccinated before
giving birth, and the baby can be born with her new antibodies to aid in survival
Haemophilus Aegyptius correct answers Highly contagious conjunctivitis known as pink eye
Haemophilus Aphrophilus correct answers Member of normal oral and respiratory flora, but
sometimes it can cause pneumonia and endocarditis (infection of heart valves)
Haemophilus Ducreyi correct answers Causes a disease known as soft chancre, which is a
venereal disease(sexually contacted disease). Symptoms include ulcers around genitalia and
lymph nodes will swell and become painful. Erythromycinis an antibiotic used, but there is no
immunity for this disease and people can get the infection again. The worst thing is the patient
may be infected with other diseases while infected with this disease, and they cannot be cured of
those secondary diseases.
Haemophilus Parainfluenzae correct answers Para means resembles, so this is an organism that
resembles haemophilus influenza, it is anormal inhabitant of the respiratory tract and is not
associated with the disease
Bordotella pertussis correct answers - Coccobacillus, gram-negative, and bipolar. Contain
capsules,areaerobic, andmetachromatic granulesinside the cells
- Whooping coughis caused by this coccobacillus
Bordet-Gengou Medium correct answers Used to grow these organisms in the lab. Key
ingredients: Potatoes, blood, and glycerol. These colonies will look like drops of mercury or tiny
pearls, so these colonies are called mercury drop or pearl drop colonies
Antigenic Structure correct answers LPS and pertussis toxin, which is the major virulence factor
and is what causes the coughing.
Two Hemagglutinins correct answers Found on the surface of the bacteria. They are responsible
for the agglutination of the RBC's; they basically act like antibodies. The bacteria can cross
bridge between RBC's like antibodies against RBCs and cause agglutination/clumping
Pathogenesis correct answers Transmission is from the respiratory tract and by carriers. Inside
the person, the mechanism of pathogenesis is the growth on the epithelial surface of the trachea
