Presentation Transcript

  1. Introduction to Enterobacteriaceae

  2. Enterobacteriaceae • Small gram-negative rods (2-5 by 0.5 microns) • Most motile with peritrichous flagella • Shigella and Klebsiella arenonmotile • Oxidase-negativefacultative anaerobes • Reduce nitrate • Ferment glucose and other carbohydrates • Many genera • Escherichia, Salmonella, Shigella,Klebsiella,Proteus,Enterobacter,Yersinia, etc. • Some strains opportunistic pathogens • Some strains true pathogens • Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia, some strains of E. coli

  3. Distinguishing Properties Associated with All Enterobacteriaceae: • Ferment glucose • Reduce nitrates • NO3to NO2 or all the way to N2 • Oxidase negative

  4. Gram-Positive Cell Wall

  5. Gram-Negative Cell Wall

  6. Antigenic Structure of Enterobacteriaceae S. typhi O antigen side chain (Fimbriae)

  7. Diversity of Activities Associated with LPS

  8. EXOTOXIN • 1. Released from the cell before • or after lysis • 2. Protein • 3. Heat labile • 4. Antigenic and immunogenic • 5. Toxoids can be produced • 6. Specific in effect on host • 7. Produced by gram-positive and gram-negative organisms • ENDOTOXIN • 1. Integral part of cell wall • 2. Endotoxin is LPS; Lipid A is toxic component • 3. Heat stable • 4. Antigenic; ??immunogenicity • 5. Toxoids cannot be produced • 6. Many effects on host • 7. Produced by gram-negative organisms only

  9. Structure of Lipopolysaccharide

  10. Structure of Lipid A • Hydrophobic Lipid A is endotoxic component

  11. Structure of Core Polysaccharide • KDO is distinctive sugar moiety in core polysaccharide

  12. Example: (Repeated up to 40 times) • Mannose Abequose • Rhamnose • Galactose Repeat Units of O Antigen Side Chain • Heat stable O antigen is often used to serotype

  13. Tuft of  Taxonomic Descriptions of Prokaryotes Based on Numbers and Arrangements of Flagella

  14. Taxonomic Descriptions of Prokaryotes Based on Numbers and Arrangements of Flagella (cont.) • PolarMonotrichous, a single flagellum at one • or both ends of the cell • Multitrichous, two or several flagella at one • or both ends of the cell • Lateral Flagella arise predominantly from the • middle pole of the cell • Monotrichous, one flagellum • Multitrichous, several flagella in the form • of a tuft originating from the midportion • of the cell • PeritrichousRandom, haphazard arrangement of • flagella scattered around the bacterial cell • Mixed Two or more flagella exhibiting distinctly • different physical properties in different regions of the bacterial cell

  15. Proteus vulgaris • Hypermotile • Swarming growth Escherichia coli

  16. Family Enterobacteriaceae Certain E .coli strains can be considered true pathogens True pathogen (nonmotile) (nonmotile) True pathogen True pathogen

  17. Medically Important Enterobacteriaceae Citrobacter species Enterobacter spp. Escherichia spp. Klebsiella spp. Morganella spp. Proteus spp. Salmonella spp. Serratia spp. Shigella spp. Yersinia spp.

  18. Incidence of Enterobacteriaceae Associated with Bacteremia

  19. Sites of Infections with Members of the Enterobacteriaceae

  20. DNA Relatedness Among Common Enterobacteriaceae
