Bacterial classification chart with Gram staining, cell shapes, metabolism and identification methods

Editor's Notes

  1. Chlamydia: No peptidoglycan or murimanic acid, does not stain well with Gram stan (use Giemsa stain)
  2. Clinical samples are often mixtures!
  3. (A) V.cholera.; (B) H.pylori.; (C) Borellia, (D) Treponema palladum
  4. Aerobic: SOD and catalase positive (important for survival) Mouth full of both aerobics and anaerobics (ask why?) Microaerophilics: H. pylori discovery story (2005 Nobel Prize in Medicine) Endospores are formed by certain Gram positives--to overcome adverse growth condition (B. anthracis) Exospores formed by fungi are for the purpose of replication TCBS medium for Vibrio (enrich and differentiate)
  5. Yellow color by S. aureus de[ends on culture media Seritia marcesens: red pigment MacConkey: bile salt kills Gram positives EMB: eosin-methylene blue agar, select for enterics (mechanism?), differentiate lac+/- Mannitol salt: high salt (7.5% NaCl) select for certain bacteria, especially Staphylococcus sp., differentiate mannitol+/- Thyayer-Martin medium: contains several antibiotics, select for Nieseria.
  6. Extreme cases, single cell bacteria can form fruiting body (any pathogenic bacteria form this???)
  7. Different growth media may also affect the colony morphology
  8. Ask “what is the function fo the capsules?”--antiphagocytic Shown is B. anthracis (most pathogen that cause systemic/blood stream infections have capsule to protect itself) Klebsialla, P. a., S. pneumonia etc.
  9. Original plate is purple color (color of pH indicator) Lac+ turns pink (low pH) Lac- show no color (neutral pH) Contains bile salt, only allow Gram negatives to grow
  10. Bacteria secrete protein or metabolites that lyse red blood cells.
  11. Mannitol salt agar inoculated with (clockwise from upper left) Staphylococcus aureus showing fermentation of mannitol (yellow medium), Staphylococcus epidermidis showing growth but no fermentation of mannitol (pink medium), and Escherichia coli showing no growth. Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) is a selective and differential medium. The high concentration of salt (7.5%) selects for members of the genus Staphylococcus , since they can tolerate high saline levels. Organisms from other genera may grow, but they typically grow very weakly.MSA also contains the sugar mannitol and the pH indicator phenol red. ハ If an organism can ferment mannitol, an acidic byproduct is formed that will cause the phenol red in the agar to turn yellow. Most pathogenic staphylococci, such as Staphylococcus aureus , will ferment mannitol. ハ Most non-pathogenic staphylococci will not ferment mannitol.
  12. Pathogenic enteric are Lac- (important distinction from non-pathogenic enteric) Citrate slant agar: distinguish two commonly seem Gram negative rods (E.coli vs. Klebsiela) H2S: important in distinguishing Salmonella(+) from Shigella(-)
  13. Early: glucose utilization (contains low amount of glucose) Later: if continue to utilize lactose or sucrose, pH keep low. If not (utilize proteins in the medium), then pH returns to neutral (color changes) Also, FeS form dark brown color Gas formation cal also be seen Aerobic and anaerobic growth can be seen
  14. Catalase: H2O2---H2O + O2 Oxidase: important distinction of N.g from other Gram negatives cocci Urease: breath test for H. pylori Antibiogram: Bacitracin, optochin Fatty acid profile: seems not affected by growth conditions
  15. Color is from indole molecule
  16. For enteric identification
  17. Phages use different receptors for infection, thus important indicator of presence or absence of particular receptor on the cell surfaces.
  18. Ag-Ab complex formation (precipitation)
  19. Embedded Ab conjugated with gold nanoparticle(visible red color) Diffusion of the complex
  20. Ribotyping: chromosomal DNA digest with restriction enzymes, then probe with rRNA sequences
  21. Distinguish different isolates (source of infections)
  22. UAMS neonatal intensive care unit: Five children infected with S. aureus, searching for the source of the infections. Used collagen adhesin as probe (Southern blot)
  23. Often used in detection of viral infections (intracellular)
  24. Primer binding specificity determines if there will be PCR products The length of the PCR product is an important indicator Requires low amount of sample, sensitive and fast.
  25. Two levels of specificity (1) Binding of the TaqMan probe (2) binding of the PCR primers Therefore, provide highly specific and real time result
  26. Rapid Amplification of polymorphic DNA: Use single short primer (9bp) to do PCR Arkansas Children’s Hospital (1997): 3children died of P.a. infections within 2 wk. Ask if they are infected by the same strains? Source? The three kids (#3,4,5) were infected with the same strains, but the source was not found from the hospital environment. Predicted from nurse, but did not look for further (Boston Children’s hospital in 1990, 8 children died within 1month, found nurse had swimmer’s ear infection. After identification, the nurse tried to committee suicide) Learned the lesson, educate nurses for hand washing practice.
  27. Depends on the specific nucleotide-nucleotide hybridization (sequence specificity) Specific Ab-Ag binding
  28. Chip for pathogen identification (bacterial, viral and fungal) Also, disease markers such as cancer markers
  29. For DNA, there are single target sequence per pathogen, while singel pathogen may have multiple copies of Ag (gene product)--more sensitive??
  30. Bacitracin: acyclic dodecapeptide antibiotic produced by Bacillus sp. Optochin: Ethylhydrocupreine hydrochloride (EHC) (source?)
  31. Rikettissa: typhus, Rocky mountain spotted fever Coxiella: Q fever Erlichia: ehrlichiosm
