Study Notes

Types of Hosts

  • Four types of hosts exist: Intermediate host, Transfer host, Vector, and Reservoir host

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)

  • S. aureus produces resistant strains against Methicillin
  • S. aureus is resistant to Drying
  • S. aureus is resistant to Light
  • S. aureus is resistant to Heat
  • S. aureus is resistant to NaCl (sodium chloride)

Positive Lance-shaped Diplococcus

  • Streptococcus pyogenes (S. pyogenes) and Streptococcus pneumonia (S. pneumonia) are positive, lance-shaped diplococcus
  • S. pyogenes and S. pneumonia undergo lysis in a few minutes with 5-10% CO2
  • S. pyogenes and S. pneumonia undergo lysis in a few minutes with 10% Ox bile
