Study Notes
El-Tor Vibrio Biotype
- El-Tor vibrio biotype agglutinates chicken erythrocytes
- It is sensitive to polymexin B
- Voges-proskauer test is positive for El-Tor vibrio biotype
- El-Tor vibrio biotype grows on TCBS agar
Diseases caused by Streptococcus pyogenes
- Erysipelas is a skin infection caused by Streptococcus pyogenes
- Impetigo is a superficial skin infection caused by Streptococcus pyogenes
- Streptococcus pyogenes causes puerperal fever, a postpartum infection
- Post-partum fever is also caused by Streptococcus pyogenes
Multiple Drug Resistant Mycobacterium
- Chromosomal mutation contributes to multiple drug resistance in Mycobacterium
- Mycobacterium does not carry plasmids, which distinguishes it from other bacteria
- Mutation in mycolic acid synthesis genes can lead to drug resistance in Mycobacterium
- Inhibition of catalase and peroxidase enzymes can suppress the action of isoniazid (INH) in Mycobacterium
Structural Antigens of Neisseria gonorrhoeae
- Pillin is a structural antigen of Neisseria gonorrhoeae
- OPA (opacity associated protein) is another structural antigen of Neisseria gonorrhoeae
- LOS (lipooligosaccharide) is a structural antigen of Neisseria gonorrhoeae
- M-protein is not a structural antigen of Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Characteristics of Genus Corynebacterium
- Catalase-peroxidase suppression of INH is not a characteristic of Corynebacterium
