Klebsiella

Inflammation of the mucous membranes of the small and large intestine caused by Salmonella.

A condition caused by non-typhoidal Salmonella spreading from the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in prolonged fever and intermittent bacteremia.

Typhoid fever, caused by S. Typhi, is the most common form of Salmonella enteric fever.

Staphylococcus aureus is the most virulent species of Staphylococcus.

Staphylococcus and Streptococcus are common normal flora (colonizers) of the skin and mucus membranes.

Suppurative (pus-filled) wounds surrounded by necrotic tissue are characteristic of skin and wound infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus.

Children under 5 years old are most commonly affected by Scalded Skin Syndrome caused by Staphylococcus aureus.

Klebsiella and Proteus spp. are common causes of nosocomial infections.

P. mirabilis & P. vulgaris are the most common isolates of Proteus.

Yersinia pestis is a highly virulent bacterium transmitted via rat flea bites, airborne droplets (pneumonic plague), or ingestion of contaminated animal tissue.

Yersinia pestis characteristics include a highly virulent nature, antiphagocytic capsule, exotoxins, coagulase, and fibrinolysin.

Bubonic plague is an acute febrile disease characterized by painful buboes, which are swollen lymph nodes, and septicemia.

Pneumonic plague spreads via infectious droplets, such as those from sneezing or coughing.

Vibrio cholerae is a curved gram-negative rod found in water. Its presence is often linked to consuming raw seafood and recent travel.

M protein, Streptolysin O, Streptolysin S, DNase, Streptokinase, Hyaluronidase, Spreading factor, and Erythrogenic toxin are major virulence factors of Pyogenes.

Rheumatic fever and Acute glomerulonephritis are nonsuppurative sequelae of Strep. Pyogenes infections.

Fever, inflammation of joints, heart, CNS, and sub-Q tissues are symptoms of rheumatic fever.

Edema, hypertension, hematuria, and proteinuria are symptoms of acute glomerulonephritis.

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is typically transmitted sexually or vertically during vaginal delivery.

Male urethritis, purulent discharge, and dysuria are common symptoms of gonorrhea in males.

Vaginal discharge, bleeding, dysuria, and lower abdominal pain are common symptoms of gonorrhea in females.

Nausea, headache, vomiting, profuse diarrhea, and low-grade fever are common symptoms of Salmonella Enterocolitis.

Enterotoxin, resistance to stomach acid, ability to disseminate, and high infective dose are virulence factors associated with Salmonella.

Fever, headache, loss of appetite, weakness, splenomegaly, and abdominal pain are symptoms of Typhoid fever.

Trauma/abrasion, person-to-person contact, nosocomial infections, and ingestion of bacteria or toxins are routes of infection for Staphylococcus aureus.

Enzymes, cytolytic toxins, protein A, and enterotoxins are virulence factors of Staphylococcus aureus.

Nausea, vomiting, cramping, diarrhea, and a headache are common symptoms of food poisoning by Staphylococcus aureus.
