Gram+, anaerobic, non-spore forming, branching rod

Endogenous transmission (dental crevices -bad higiene, dental trauma- ; female genital tract -IUD-)

Dx: branching rods in “sulfur granules”; colonies resemble a molar tooth.

Not painful but very invasive penetrating tissues, including bone.

Draining abscess (sinus tracts) CULTURE THAT PUS

Disease: ACTINOMYCOSIS in low O2 tissues

Cervicofacil: “Lumpy jaw”, mycetoma on jaw line

Pelvic: from IUD

CNS: solitary abscess

Abdominal: qx, trauma

Tick-Borne Diseases

Chlamydia trachomatis conjunctivitis in a newborn (ophthalmia neonatorum) Conjunctivitis is usually bilateral and occurs during the second week after delivery. Infection occurs from contamination of the eyes on passage through an infected endocervical canal. Chlamydia trachomatis pneumonia also commonly occurs at the same time.

Without immunity, we’RE JUST BAGS OF NUTRIENTS!

MICROBIOLOGY MNEMONIC

My favorite band: the Killers (and I’m gonna see them for the second time in 3 weeks!!!!!!! I’m SO excited!!!!!!)

There’s this mnemonic to remember encapsulated organisms that use capsule layers as their major mechanism of pathogenicity. 

Capsules are slippery layers and can not be phagocyte. To remember that, just remember this Killer’s song called “All the pretty faces”

This is the only way I can remember this mnemonic, here it goes…

S ome   K illers  H ave   P retty   N ice   Capsules

S treptococcus pneumoniae

K lebsiella pneumoniae

H aemophilus influenzae

P seudomona aeuroginosa

N eisseria meningitidis

C riptococcus neoformans
