Study Notes
Upper Respiratory Microbiome
- Not a component of the normal microbiome of the pharynx and nasal cavity: TBD
- Moraxella is a potent lactate fermenter and nitrate reducer in the pharynx and nasal cavity
- Streptococcus pneumoniae is associated with infections such as pneumonia, meningitis, and toxic shock syndrome in the upper respiratory tract
- Streptococcus pneumoniae is associated with Alpha-hemolytic hemolysis in the upper respiratory microbiome
- Haemophilus influenzae requires X factor (hemin) and V factor (NAD+) for growth in the upper respiratory tract
- Not an infection associated with Staphylococcus aureus in the upper respiratory tract microbiome: TBD
- Corynebacterium diphtheriae is associated with causing diphtheria in the upper respiratory microbiome
- Propionibacterium acnes is a type of Gram-positive, anaerobic bacterium in the upper respiratory microbiome
Opportunistic Pathogens
- "Opportunistic pathogens abound" in the upper respiratory microbiome means that pathogens can cause disease when the host's defenses are compromised
Lower Respiratory System
- Typically found in the lower respiratory system: Sterile microbiota
Mucociliary Escalator
- The primary role of the mucociliary escalator in the respiratory system is to remove debris and pathogens from the airways
