    Study Notes

    Microbiology: Disease Causative Organisms and Characteristics

    Spore-Forming Organisms

    • Pseudomembranous colitis (antibiotic-associated), gas gangrene, and anthrax are initially introduced into the host in the form of spores.
    • Diphtheria is not introduced into the host in the form of spores.

    Proteus Mirabilis Characteristics

    • Proteus mirabilis is associated with the formation of calculi.
    • It forms a pH of 8.
    • It does not ferment lactose.
    • It is not associated with urine at pH less than 8.

    Differentiation of Vibrio Cholerae

    • Classical and El Tor V. cholerae are differentiated according to their production of cholera toxin.
    • Lactose fermentation, sucrose fermentation, and resistance to polymyxin B are not criteria for differentiating between classical and El Tor V. cholerae.

    Shigella Antigens

    • H antigen is a type of Shigella antigen.
    • K antigen is also a type of Shigella antigen.
