E N D
General character • Gram positive cocci arranged in chains • Catalase test negative • Fastidious • Facultative anaerobes • Penicillin sensitive (Streptococcus faecalis ) • Resistant to AG (GENTAMICIN )
GROUP A STREPT STREPTOCOCCUS PYOGENES
Most important pathogen • Distinguished by bacitracin test (sensitive) • Some are capsulated (hyaluronic acid)
epidemiology • Acquired through infected respiratory droplet • Direct contact _ Skin , hand • Indirect contact _contaminated objects • Spread enhanced by poverty overcrowding poor ventilation
Source of infection A - Patient with active disease – tonsillitis • Convalescent carriers – throat B - Asymptomatic carriers (20% -school children ) – throat • Prevalent in children – 3 – 8 yrs
VIRULENCE FACTORES A- CELL ASSOCIATED 1- M protein (antiphagocytic) - originates from cytoplasmic membrane produces protective type specific abs 2- lipoteichoic acid adhesion factor for attachment 3- hyaluronic acid capsule - antiphagocytic
3- STREPTOKINASE (fibrinolysin) • Thrombotic disease – coronary thrombosis 4- DNAases A , B , C , D. • AntiDNAase B - DIAGNOSE SKIN infections 5- HYALURONIDASE – spread factor 6- LIPOPROTEINASE – opacity factor
B- EXTRACELLULAR PRODUCTS B- EXTRACELLULAR PRODUCTS 1- SREPTOLYSINS OR HAEMOLYSIN • Streptolysin o antigenic , ASO , oxygen labile • Streptolysin s oxygen stable, non antigenic 2- Erythrogenic toxin (SPE ) • SUPERANTIGEN • Bacteriophage – 3 types , A – B- C . • SCARLET FEVER
DISEASESA - SAPURATIVE A- SAPURATIVE 1- TONSILITIS / PHARINGITIS 2- PERITONSILAR ABSCESS(QUINSY) 3- OTITIS MEDIA 4- ADENITIS 5- IMPETIGO (PYODERMA) 6- SCARLET FEVER 7- CELLULITIS 8- PUERPERAL SEPSIS 9- INVASIVE SOFT TISSUE INFECTIOS NECROTISING FASCITIS , MYOSITIS , TSS 10 - BACTERIMIA
B-NON SUPPURATIVE (DELAED SEQUELAE) B- NON- SUPPURATIVE (DELAYED SEQUELAE) 1- RHEUMATIC FEVER : autoimmune disease follows throat infection only recur (M – SEROTYPES) 2- ACUTE GLOMERULONEPHRITIS Ag – Ab complexes May follow both throat or skin infection NO recurrence
