CLINCAL PRESENTATION NF (GIT,UGT&Oral cavity) Opportunistic organisms Dental caries Endocarditis VIRIDANS STREPTOCOCCI
Formation of dental plaque by Streptococcus mutans bacteria adhere to the tooth by a protein on the cell surface, grow and synthesize a dextran capsule binds the bacteria to the enamel and forms a biofilm 300-500 cells of thickness bacteria can cleave sucrose to glucose + fructose glucose is polymerized into an extracellular dextran polymer that cements the bacteria to tooth enamel and becomes the matrix of plaque this dextran slime can be depolymerized to glucose for use as a carbon source, resulting in the production of lactic acid within the plaque that decalcifies the enamel and leads to dental caries Example of a biofilm
Damage ,prosthetic valve Predisposing factor RHD CHD Mitral valve prolapse Degenerative H diseases PV Pathogenesis Dextran adhere to the damaged valve vegetation(fibrin,bacteria & platelets) Symptoms Fever Murmurs Immunological manifestations O,P,S SBE 2-5 Wks Diagnosis Blood culture ECHO Endocarditis
