Bacteriology Pathogen Distinct Infection Distinct Signs and Mode of Control, Characteristics Symptoms Transmission Prevention and Management 1. Staphylococcus - G (+) Skin infections Usually not Hygiene, boost aureus - Cocci in 1. Sty, Boils, - Abscess with pus communicable immune response grape-like cluster furuncles, Staphylococcus epidermidis carbuncles - N flora of the skin - Catalase positive 2. Impetigo Staphylococcus - Crusty skin - Produce yellow 3. Scalded skin saprophyticus lesion colonies syndrome - Erythema, - MRSA, VRSA Nikolsky sign, desquamation Toxic shock Fever, vomiting, Usually not Hygiene syndrome diarrhea, communicable hypotension, rash, multiple organ system involvement Gastroenteritis nausea, vomiting, Ingestion Hygiene, sanitation diarrhea, no fever Oral-fecal route 2. Streptococcus - G(+) cocci Pharyngitis or Strep throat Usually not Hygiene, sanitation, pyogenes - In chains pharyngotonsilitis Scarlet fever communicable boost immune - N flora Can lead to response - Encapsulated rheumatic fever - Classification: or glumerulonephri Hemolysis (α, β, Ɣ) tis Lancefield/serological Impetigo/pyoderma vesicles, pustules Usually not Hygiene, sanitation, communicable boost immune response lymphadenopath y erysipelas (St. Fiery red, Usually not Hygiene, sanitation, Anthony’s fire) advancing communicable boost immune erythema on response face and limbs Lymphadenopat hy and systemic infection Puerperal sepsis Septicemia – during Usually not Surgical asepsis chiildbirth communicable 3.

Bacillus anthracis - G(+) bacilli inhalation anthrax - mediastinitis, Inhalation of spores - disposal of - Sporefoming sepsis, animal - Aerobic meningitis, carcasses by - Cut-glass hemorrhagic burning or by appearance pulmonary deep burial - Central edema, - decontaminatio endospores pneumonia n of animal Rapidly fatal products - protective gastrointestinal abdominal pain, Ingestion of spores clothing and anthrax vomiting, bloody gloves for diarrhea handling skin anthrax necrotic ulcer which Entry of spores in disseminates into open wound infected blood stream materials - active immunization of domestic animals 5. Bacillus cereus Food poisoning emetic type - Ingestion of spores Food sanitation associated with rice; incubation period: 1-6 hrs diarrheal type - associated with meat; incubation period: 1-24 hrs 6. Clostridium - G(+) bacilli - Classical or S/S: dry mouth, Ingestion of Food sanitation botulinum - Sporefoming food-borne – blurred vision with contaminated food, - Obligate associated with dilated pupils, entry of spores in an anaerobe canned food or constipation, open wound - Drumstick smoked fish abdominal pain, bacillus - Infant botulism flaccid paralysis, respiratory paralysis flaccid paralysis, floppy baby Associated with sudden infant death (SIDS)/ crib death - Wound botulism 7. Clostridium tetani tetanus Entry of spores in an active ▪ muscular spasms open wound immunization with , first area of toxoids infection are the muscles of the jaw (masseter) – trismus/lockjaw) ▪ Risus sardonicus – sardonic smile ▪ Opisthotonus – persistent spasms of neck and back ▪ Hyperreflexia ▪ Seizures Tetanus neonatorum – in newborns 8.
