Outline • Staphylococcus • Streptococcus • Enterococcus • Neisseria and Branhamella • Classification、Clinical Significance、Microbial Characters、Microbial diagnostics
Staphylococcus Gram-positive cocci that occur singly and in pairs, tetrads, and irregular grape-like clusters
Common description • Widespread in nature • Mainly found living on the skin, skin glands and mucous membranes of mammals and birds • Also found in the environment • Sometimes found in the mouth, blood, and intestinal, and upper respiratory tracts
Classification • Currently composed of 32 species and 15 subspecies • Important Staphylococcus • S. aureus • S. epidermidis • S. capitis • S. hominis • S. saprophyticus • Coagulase • Coagulase positive Staphylococci • Coagulase negative Staphylococci
Clinical significant • S. aureus • Important pathogen • Enzymes:catalase, coagulase,staphylokinase, et al • Toxin: exotoxin, enterotoxin, et al • Community- and hospital acquired infection • Acute pyogenic infection • Common infection:boil、cellulitis、postoperative wound infections • Serious infection:bacteremia、pneumonia、osteomyelitis、meningitis,acute endocarditis, et al
Osteomyelitis Abscess Impetigo School sores; common mostly among children Boils Infection of hair follicles by S. aureus
Food poisoning: enterotoxin • Toxic shock syndrome(TSS): • toxic shock syndrome toxin 1(TSST-1) • Scaled skin syndrome
Coagulase negative staphylococcus, CONS • Normal flora of human • Causing nosocomial infections • S. epidermidis • Prosthetic valve endocarditis • Intravascular catheter-related infection • Peritoneal dialysis-related infection • Prosthetic joint infection • Why • The increase in the use of prosthetic and indwelling devices • Immunocompromised patients in hospitals • S. saprophyticus • Urinary tract infection
Microbial Characters • Gram positive coccus • arranged:single、pairs、tetrads, short chains and grape-like clusters • Facultatively anaerobe • Colonial appearance • Color, smooth, entire, heamolytic characters • Chemical reaction: active metabolism,fermenting carbohydrates • Catalase:+(differentiates from streptococcus) • Coagulase: +/-
Microbial diagnostics Isolated culture Broth culture • procedure specimen Smear and stain culturedirect examination colony Smear and stain biochemical serologyantibiotic identificationidentification susceptibility
Specimen collection • Routine method • Avoid normal flora contamination • Surface swab, pus, blood, spinal fluid, sputum, et al • Specimen direct diagnostics • Smear and Gram stain • report • Culture and identification • Media selection • Blood agar • Broth • Selective agar
Colonial appearance • S. aureus • Large,smooth,entire, slightly raised, pigment from cream-yellow to orange, β heamolysis • S. epidermidis • Small, smooth, entire, slightly raised, white, nonheamolysis
Catalase • Staphylococcus produce catalase • Convert hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen (formation of bubbles)
Coagulase production Ability to clot plasma Rapid and economical test Dehydrated rabbit plasma containing EDTA Slide test • Bound coagulase+plasmaclot(10s) • +: S. aureus and S. intermedius Tube test • Free coagulase Other: latex agglutination test
Heat-stable nuclease +: S. aureus, S. schleiferi ,S. intermedius and S. carnosus Heat-stable staphylococcal nuclease (thermonuclease[TNase]) Method: metachromatic agar diffusion procedure and DNA-toluidine blue agar Phosphatase activity +:S. epidermidis, S. aureus, S. schleiferi andS. intermedius
Pyrrolidonyl arylamidase activity (PYR test) principle: bacteria L-pyrrolidonyl-β-naphthylamideβ-naphthylamine + N,N-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde red color
Other Ornithine decarboxylase activity β-galactosidase activity Novobiocin resistance
Antibiotic susceptibilities A class(routine antibiotic) oxacillin,penicillin B class(use mainly antibiotic in clinical) azithromycin,clindamycin,TMP/SMZ,vacomycin C class(resistant to A class) ciprofloxacin,gentamicin,chloramphenicol U class(bacteria from urine) norfloxacin, nitrofurantoin
Methecillin resistant Staphylococcus, MRS MRSA、MRSE、MRSCO Main pathogen in nosocomial infection Resistant to oxacillin resistant:high resistant heteroresistant:borderline Two subpopulations coexist: one susceptible and the other resistant
MRS Detection methods The presence of NaCl(2 to 4%) cooler temperatures (30 to 35 ℃) prolonged incubation(up to 48h) mecA gene probe PCR
MRS Resistant mechanism • chromosome mecA gene mediated, produce low affinity penicillin binding protein(PBP), PBP2’ or PBP2a characters Multidrug-resistant Resistant to all β-lactams Clinical use Vacomycin, teicoplanin, ciprofloxin, TMP-SMZ, et al
