Study Notes
Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia
- A bacteria with a lavender green or gray color.
- Negative for oxidase.
- Can oxidize glucose and maltose, but does not ferment lactose.
- Causes hospital acquired infections.
- Treated with Bactrim.
Burkholderia
- Causes glanders.
- Can be transmitted from animals to humans.
Acinetobacter
- An aerobic bacteria that does not ferment glucose or lactose.
- On gram stain, it appears as short rods.
- Found widely in soil and water.
- A frequent cause of nosocomial infections.
- Causes pneumonias, bacteremias, and wound infections.
- Highly resistant.
- Can be treated with colistin.
Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia
- A bacteria that produces a lavender green or gray colony in the lab
- Does not produce an enzyme called oxidase
- Can use glucose and maltose for energy, but not lactose
- Commonly infects people in the hospital setting
- The preferred treatment is Bactrim
Burkholderia
- A type of bacteria that can cause a disease called glanders
- Can be transmitted from animals to humans
Acinetobacter
- Uses oxygen to make energy
- Cannot use glucose or lactose to produce energy
- Appears as short rods when observed under a microscope
- Is found commonly in the environment
- Causes infections primarily in hospital settings, leading to conditions like pneumonia, bloodstream infections, or wound infections
- Often resistant to many antibiotics
- May require treatment with the antibiotic colistin
Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia
- Lavender green or gray colored bacteria
- Negative oxidase test
- Oxidizes glucose and maltose but does not ferment lactose
- A common cause of hospital acquired infection
- Treated with Bactrim
Burkholderia
- Cause of glanders, a dangerous infectious disease
- Transmissible from animals to humans (zoonotic)
Acinetobacter
- Aerobic metabolism
- Does not ferment glucose or lactose
- Short rods in shape
- Found in soil and water
- Can cause hospital acquired infections (nosocomial)
- These infections can include pneumonia, bacteremia, and wound infections
- Highly resistant to antibiotics
- May require colistin treatment for infections
Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia
- A bacteria that forms a lavender green or gray pigment
- Does not produce an oxidase enzyme
- Can oxidize glucose and maltose but does not ferment lactose
- Frequently causes hospital acquired infections
- Bactrim is typically used to treat infections caused by this bacteria
Burkholderia
- Causes the disease glanders
- Can be transmitted from animals to humans
Acinetobacter
- This bacteria requires oxygen to survive
- Does not ferment glucose or lactose
- Appears as short rods under a microscope when stained using the Gram stain
- Found widely in soil and water
- A common cause of infections acquired within hospitals, including pneumonia, bloodstream infections, and wound infections
- Known for its high level of resistance to many antibiotics
- Colistin is often used as a last resort to treat infections caused by this bacteria
