    Study Notes

    Mnemonic for Encapsulated Bacteria

    • Remember encapsulated bacteria using the phrase: Please SHINE my SKIS.
    • Key bacteria included in the mnemonic:
      • Pseudomonas aeruginosa
      • Strep pneumoniae (pneumococcus)

      • E. coli
      • Salmonella
      • Klebsiella pneumoniae
      • Strep agalactiae (group B strep)

    Immunodeficiency and Encapsulated Bacteria

    • Immunodeficiency impacting B-cells leads to heightened susceptibility to infections caused by encapsulated bacteria.
    • B-cells are crucial for antibody formation which facilitates the coating and recognition of encapsulated bacteria by phagocytic cells.
