Gas Gangrene: You are working in the Surgery Unit and are helping a paitent with "gas gangrene". Samples of tissues and fluid delivered to lab for culture and identification. Microbes could not grow aerobically; growth occurred anaerobically only Blood agar after anaerobic incubation (below), note zones of clearing around colonnies:
What is this organism? And what other test could be done to confirm it's identification? 1.Gram stain - positive cocci, chains Catalase - weak positive Hemolysis - beta BE - positive NaCl- positive Bacitracin - no zone of inhibition PYR - positive Answer: Enterococcus spp. CAMP test to verify the identity 2.Gram positive cocci, chains Catalase - negative Hemolysis - alpha BE - negative NaCl - negative P disk - resistant Bile Solubility - negative Answer - viridans group, Use PYR test to verify
You are working in a lab studying Streptococcus pyogenes as a cause of necrotizing fasciitiis. You have an overnight culture that you want to know the starting concentration of, so do a set of six 1:10 serial dilutions (putting 1 mL from the stock into a 9 mL blank), with tube #1 being 1:10, #2 is 1:100, etc. You plate 0.1 mL from tube 5 onto a blood agar plate and the next morning count 134 colonies. How many bacteria (measured in CFU/mL) were in the overnight culture flask? A. 1.34 x 10^4 CFU/mL B. 1.34 x 10^5 CFU/mL C. 1.34 x 10^6 CFU/mL D. 1.34 x 10^7 CFU/mL E. 1.34 x 10^8 CFU/mL F. cannot tell based on the data given - you'd need to know the volume of the original culture flask

SITUATION: A 70-year-old retired welder who is a heavy smoker arrives to the emergency room suffering from fever and shortness of breath for the last three days. He is also suffering from cough with rust-colored sputum. The chest X-ray result reveals involvement in the left lower lobe of his lungs. The Gram staining results from his sputum and blood which were cultured indicates the presence of gram-positive streptococci. He was checked into a hospital and placed on penicillin. Two days later the patient’s health improved. a. What organism is responsible for the patient’s infection?b. Why is the patient at high risk for becoming infected with bacterial organisms?c. How could the patient likely have prevented contracting the disease?d. If the sputum and blood samples are plated on blood agar, what type of hemolytic reaction should be seen?
