MUSIC 1A03 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Taenia Solium, Pinworm Infection, Meningococcal Disease
Document Summary
Bacteria using coagulase staphylococci spp, mrsa, staphylococcus epidermis. Bordella pertussis toxin increases camp in respiratory epithelial cells causing more mucus and cough (ab toxin) Cestoidea: tapeworms (beef, pork, and fish tapeworms), all are parasitic. Cutaneous infections caused by dermatophytes, transmissions through infected skin. Csf analysis for bacterial meningitis low csf glucose (under 2. 5/40% of serum), high csf protein (over . 45), csf pleocytosis (500-20,000 wbc), neutrophils only. Dic microorganisms in the blood, coagulation due to high thrombin, high gram neg endotoxin: coli spp. & campylobacter jejuni bind to intestinal epithelial cells to cause gastroenteritis fimbrae, rod shaped gram negative with peritrichous flagellum. Enterobius vermicularis commonly known as the pin worm. Endospores formed by two genera: clostridium spp. and bacillus spp. Plasmodium falciparum, the anopheles mosquito is the definitive host, humans are the intermediate host. Of taenia solium, humans are the definitive and intermediate.
