    Study Notes

    Bacterial Identification and Characteristics

    • Lledo, RPh, is the author of the study notes.
    • The Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion technique is used to test antibiotic susceptibility.

    Tuberculosis (TB)

    • Mantoux test is used to diagnose TB.
    • Purified protein derivative (PPD) is used in the Mantoux test.
    • Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) affects the lungs.
    • Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis (EPTB) affects other organs such as the skin, bones, and kidneys.

    Syphilis

    • Fluorescent Treponema test is used to diagnose syphilis.
    • Hutchinson's teeth and saddle nose are symptoms of syphilis.

    Vibrio cholerae

    • Vibrio cholerae is a comma-shaped bacterium that causes watery diarrhea with "rice watery" stools.
    • It is an aerobic, fastidious bacterium that produces an exotoxin called cholera toxin.

    Legionnaire's Disease

    • Legionnaire's disease is caused by Legionella pneumophila.
    • It can cause Pontiac fever, which is a pneumonia-like illness.

    Neisseria Meningitides

    • Neisseria meningitidis is a glucose and maltose fermenter.
    • It is a piliated, diplococcal bacterium that causes meningitis and meningococcemia.
    • Symptoms include rashes or small dots on the skin, which can be life-threatening if sepsis occurs.

    Helicobacter pylori

    • Helicobacter pylori is a spiral-shaped, highly motile, microaerophilic bacterium.
    • It produces large amounts of urease, which is acidic.
    • It causes gastritis, gastric/duodenal ulcers, and PUD (peptic ulcer disease).

    Haemophilus influenzae

    • Haemophilus influenzae is a small, uniform coccobacillus that is aerobic or facultative anaerobic.
    • It has six distinct antigenic types and requires growth factors X and Y.
    • It causes meningitis, epiglottitis, septic arthritis, and sepsis.

    Haemophilus aegyptius

    • Haemophilus aegyptius is also known as Koch-Weeks bacillus or H. influenzae biotype III.
    • It causes conjunctivitis and forms a pink-colored pus.

    Haemophilus ducreyi

    • Haemophilus ducreyi causes soft chancre, which is a sexually transmitted disease.
    • It is also known as chancroid.

    Pseudomonas aeruginosa

    • Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a motile, obligate aerobic rod that produces pigments.
    • The pigments produced are pyocyanin (blue), pyoverdin (green/yellow-green), and pyorubin (red).
    • It can cause UTI, pneumonia, and other infections.
