E N D
Morphology & Identification • Gram positive • Facultative anaerobes • Grape like-clusters • Catalase positive • Major components of normal flora • skin • nose
Catalase test(过氧化氢酶) (-) (+)
Protein A inhibits phagocytosis PHAGOCYTE Fc receptor Protein A immunoglobulin BACTERIUM
Toxins & Enzymes • Catalase • Coagulase • Hyaluronidase and Lipase • Hemolysin or sphingomyelinase C • Leukocidin • Exfoliative Toxin • Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin (superantigen) • Enterotoxins
Pathogenesis of staphylococcal infections Stye:麦粒肿 Carbuncle:痈 Impetigo:脓疱疮
Clinical Findings-Suppurative • A. (Skin) Furuncle; Protein A, Leukocidin, Hemolysin Stye; lipase Impetigo; contagious Epidermal necrolysis Exfoliative Dermatitis (6,7,8); Exfoliative toxin Mastitis Abscess (deep tissue); granulation; coagulase, hyaluronidase (burn, wound) • B. Systemic : Bactermia (from abscess, wound, burn) , Osteomyelitis (tibia) ,Pneumonia
Clinical Findings-Food poisoning • not a human infection • food contaminated from humans • growth • enterotoxin • onset and recovery both occur within few hours • Vomiting/ nausea/ diarrhea/ abdominal /pain
Toxic shock syndrome • fever • scarlatiniform rash • desquamation • vomiting • diarrhea • myalgias
S. aureus • babies • scalded skin syndrome • exfoliatin
Laboratory • A. Direct examination; Gram Stain • B. Primary media; BAP • C. Differential Tests. • Mannitol Salts • Coagulase • DNase • D. Phage typing • E. Antibiotic Sensitivity (plasmid, B lactamase) • penicillin /methicillin/vancomycin
DNase test 0.1% Toluidine blue O (+): Pink 1N HCl (+) :
Lysostaphin test Staphylococcus Micrococcus
Staphylococcus epidermidis • major component skin flora • opportunistic infections • less common than S.aureus • nosocomial infections • heart valves • Identification • Non-hemolytic (sheep blood agar) • Does not ferment mannitol • Non-pigmented • Coagulase-negative
Staphylococcus saprophyticus • urinary tract infections • coagulase-negative • not differentiated from S. epidermidis
Morphology & Identification • facultative anaerobe • Gram-positive • Chainsor pairs • Catalasenegative (staphylococci are catalase positive)
Cell surface structure of S pyogenes and extracellular substances
S. pyogenes lipoteichoic acid F-protein fibronectin epithelial cells
M protein • major target • natural immunity • strain variation • antigenicity • re-infection • occurs with different strain
r r r r r r M protein IMMUNE Complement IgG M protein NON-IMMUNE peptidoglycan fibrinogen
Capsules • Anti-phagocytic • mucoid strains
Streptococci • Lancefield groups • one or more species per group • surface antigens
groupablestreptococci • A, B and D • most important • C, G, F • rare
Non-groupable • S. pneumoniae • pneumonia • viridans streptococci • e.g. S. mutans • dental caries
Hemolysis alpha beta gamma
Classofication of Streptococci of Particular Medical Interest
Group A streptococcal infections affect all ages peak incidence at 5-15 years of age
S. pyogenes -suppurative • non-invasive • pharyngitis • skin infection, impetigo • invasive bacteremia • toxic shock-like syndrome • "flesh eating" bacteria • pyrogenic toxin
