Transcription
1 A 33-year-old man presents to the emergency department with a fever of F, facial palsy, headache, and malaise. A circular maculopapular rash was identified on the patients left shoulder; the patient was unaware of the rash. The patient likely acquired the above infection via which of the following routes? (A) Consumption of contaminated food (B) Direct contact with fomite (C) Arthropod vector (D) Respiratory route (E) Sexual contact Answer: C. The causal agent is Borrelia burgdorferi, and the disease is known as Lyme disease. The clues are facial palsy, rash, fever and malaise. Borrelia is spread by ticks. A 40-year-old homeless man presents to the emergency department with fever and night sweats, coughing up blood. Acid-fast bacilli are identified in his sputum. Which of the following virulence factors allows the causal agent to inhibit phagosome-lysosome fusion to survive intracellularly? (A) Cord factor (B) Calcium dipicolinate (C) Peptidoglycan (D) Sulfatides (E) Tuberculin Answer: D. The causal agent is Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The clues are coughing up blood, acid-fast bacilli, and homeless. Sulfatides are sulfolipids which hydrolyze to form sulfuric acid. The acidic ph of the M. tuberculosis-containing phagosome acts to stop lysosomal fusion. Cord factor (choice A) is responsible for serpentine growth in vitro. Calcium dipicolinate (choice B) is a component of endospores. Peptidoglycan (choice C) is a cell wall component. Tuberculin (choice E) is a surface protein, which is not involved in protection from phagosome-lysosome fusion. A homeless, malnourished chronic alcoholic presents with severe headache and dyspnea. Physical examination reveals a disheveled male with poor hygiene. His temperature is 41 C, blood pressure is 110/78 mm Hg, and his pulse is 96/ minute and regular. Auscultation of the chest reveals absence of breath sounds over the left middle lung fields. A chest x-ray confirms left lobar pneumonia. Sputum stain reveals partially acid-fast bacilli with branching rods. Which of the following agents is the most likely cause? (A) Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare (B) Mycobacterium kansasii (C) Mycobacterium leprae (D) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (E) Nocardia asteroides Answer: E. Partially acid-fast branching rods in a patient with lobar p monia suggests Nocardia. All the other agents listed are acid-fast bacilli, not branching rods.
2 Chapter 2 l Medically Important Bacteria GENUS: MYCOBACTERIUM Genus Features l Acid fast rods with a waxy cell wall l Obligate aerobe l Cell wall Unique: high concentration of lipids containing long chain fatty acids called mycolic acids Wall makes mycobacteria highly resistant to: º Desiccation º Many chemicals (including NaOH used to kill other bacteria in sputa before neutralizing and culturing) l Sensitive to UV Species of Medical Importance l M. tuberculosis l M. leprae l M. avium-intracellulare l M. kansasii l M. scrofulaceum l M. marinum Mycobacterium tuberculosis Distinguishing Features l Auramine-rhodamine staining bacilli (fluorescent apple green); no antibody involved (sensitive but not specific) l Acid fast l Aerobic, slow growing on Lowenstein-Jensen medium; new culture systems (broths with palmitic acid) faster l Produces niacin l Produces a heat-sensitive catalase Catalase negative at 68.0 C (standard catalase test) Catalase active at body temperature Key Vignette Clues Mycobacterium tuberculosis l High-risk patient (poverty, HIV+, IV drug user) l Chronic cough, weight loss l Ghon complex l Auramine-rhodamine staining, acid fast bacilli in sputum l Produce niacin, heat-sensitive catalase l Positive PPD l Facultative intracellular 217
3 Section II l Microbiology Reservoir human lungs Transmission respiratory droplets Figure II-2-7. Cord Factor Pathogenesis l Facultative intracellular organism (most important) l Sulfatides (sulfolipids in cell envelope) Inhibit phagosome-lysosome fusion, allowing intracellular survival (if fusion occurs, waxy nature of cell envelope reduces killing effect) l Cord factor (trehalose dimycolate) Causes serpentine growth in vitro Inhibits leukocyte migration; disrupts mitochondrial respiration and oxidative phosphorylation l Tuberculin (surface protein) along with mycolic acid delayed hypersensitivity and cell-mediated immunity (CMI) Granulomas and caseation mediated by CMI No exotoxins or endotoxin; damage done by immune system Disease(s) l Primary pulmonary tuberculosis Organisms replicate in naive alveolar macrophages, killing the macrophages until CMI is set up (Ghon focus) Macrophages transport the bacilli to the regional lymph node (Ghon complex) and most people heal without disease Organisms that are walled off within the Ghon complex remain viable unless treated l Reactivational tuberculosis Erosion of granulomas into airways (high oxygen) later in life under conditions of reduced T-cell immunity leads to mycobacterial replication and disease symptoms Complex disease with the potential of infecting any organ system May disseminate (miliary TB) Diagnosis l Microscopy of sputum: screen with auramine-rhodamine stain (fluorescent apple-green); no antibody involved; very sensitive; if positive, confirm with acid fast stain l PPD skin test (Mantoux): measure zone of induration at hours; positive if: 5 mm in HIV+ or anyone with recent TB exposure; AIDS patients have reduced ability to mount skin test. 10 mm in high-risk population: IV drug abusers, people living in poverty, or immigrants from high TB area 15 mm in low-risk population l Positive skin test indicates only exposure but not necessarily active disease. l Quantiferon-TB Gold Test: measures interferon-gamma production when leukocytes exposed to TB antigens l Slow-growing (3 6 weeks) colonies on Lowenstein-Jensen medium (faster new systems) l Organisms produce niacin and are catalase-negative (68 C). l No serodiagnosis 218
4 Chapter 2 l Medically Important Bacteria Treatment l Multiple drugs critical to treat infection l Standard observed short-term therapy for uncomplicated pulmonary TB (rate where acquired resistance <4%): First 2 months: rifampin + isoniazid + pyrazinamide + ethambutol (RIPE) Next 4 months: rifampin and isoniazid l Ethambutol or streptomycin added for possible drug-resistant cases until susceptibility tests are back (if area acquired has >4% drug-resistant mycobacteria) Prevention l Isoniazid taken for 9 months can prevent TB in persons with infection but no clinical symptoms. l Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine containing live, attenuated organisms may prevent disseminated disease; not used in U.S. l UV lights or HEPA filters used to treat potentially contaminated air.
