Bacterial Infections and Genera Overview

Toxemic Infections

• Toxemic infections are caused by toxins rather than the bacteria themselves
• Relapsing fever, tetanus, gas gangrene, botulism, and diphtheria are examples

Non-toxemic Infections

• Psittacosis, typhus, tuberculosis, are examples of non-toxemic infections

Coiled Bacteria

• Treponema, Borrelia and Leptospira are genera of bacteria that have a coiled shape
• Francisella and Streptococcus do not have coiled bacteria

Bacterial Genera

• Staphylococcus: Gram-positive cocci
• Neisseria: Gram-negative cocci
• Streptococcus: Gram-positive cocci
• Bacillus: Gram-positive rods
• Francisella: Gram-negative, non-motile rods
• Escherichia: Gram-negative rods
• Corynebacterium: Gram-positive rods
• Salmonella: Gram-negative rods
• Borellia: Gram-negative, coiled
• Treponema: Gram-negative, coiled
• Leptospira: Gram-negative, coiled
• Campylobacter: Gram-negative rods
• Mycobacterium: Gram-positive rods
• Vibrio: Gram-negative curved rods

Bacterial Vaccines

• Pertussis: Vaccination is administered
• Diphtheria: Vaccination is administered
• Tetanus: Vaccination is administered
• Cholera: Vaccination is administered

Diseases and Vaccinations

• The provided text lists various infectious diseases and whether a vaccination is administered for each. Some infectious diseases are indeed vaccine-preventable. Consult a medical professional for accurate information.

This quiz covers various aspects of bacterial infections, focusing on toxemic and non-toxemic infections. It also highlights the genera of coiled bacteria and provides a classification of different bacterial types. Test your knowledge on these important microbiological topics.
