Question
Answer
bacteria that have an established niche at a body site or sites. occupy sites for extended periods or indefinitely   show
🗑
are usually excluded from the host by competition from the residents. establish themselves briefly in the host when they are acquired   show
🗑
show carrier state  
🗑
significance of normal flora:protects against these   show
🗑
significance of normal flora:thought to influence human anatomy and physiology   show
🗑
show restore balance of normal flora. imbalance leads to disease states.  
🗑
axilla,perineum and toe webs   show
🗑
show lower concentration of normal flora. lowest concentration is on arms/legs.  
🗑
gram ? are the predominant type of normal flora because skin is relatively dry and gram ? is more susceptible to drying out   show
🗑
these gram + are predominant normal flora of skin (4 genuses)   show
🗑
true or false : aerobes predominate in the respiratory tract   show
🗑
Steptococcus, Haemophilis, Neisseria species are common aerobic bacteria of   show
🗑
show oral flora involved in the development of biofilms(plaque)  
🗑
show Veillonella,Fusobacterium,Actinomyces  
🗑
show subacute endocarditis  
🗑
show lysozyme in tears. there are a few important residents though: Staph epidermidis, Haemophilus, Corynebacterium, Moraxella  
🗑
show must survive at low pH. Helicobacter,Lactobacillus and Strep are known to colonize  
🗑
Most bacteria located in this part of GI tract are anaerobes   show
🗑
show an obstruction of the GI tract where passage of baceria is prevented thus they proliferate and colonize the obstructed region  
🗑
This body organ has the largest number of normal flora   show
🗑
this member of Enterobacteriaceae is particularly prevalent in large intestine   show
🗑
show the use of antibiotics: leads to overgrowth of bacteria normally present at low numbers  
🗑
show caused by overgrowth of Clostridium dificile after use of certain antibiotics. note: Staph aureus can also cause pseudomem colitis  
🗑
the only anatomic areas permanently colonized with bacteria   show
🗑
Lactobacillus begins to colonize the vaginal epithelium of baby girls during first? weeks   show
🗑
show age, hormonal levels (especially estrogens),and pH  
🗑
show after menopause  
🗑
Following metabolism of estrogens, these 3 species predominate in the vagina:   show
🗑
show gram negative/positive anaerobes and facultative anaerobes  
🗑
show UTI's (urinary tract infections) E. coli is a common culprit.  
🗑
method of urine culture   show
🗑
3 main categories of vaginitis   show
🗑
show glucose. in patients with BV, Lactobacillus are replaced with G.vaginalis and other anaerobic flora  
🗑
show Gardnerella vaginalis (gram +)  
🗑
show Mycoplasma hominis  
🗑
show Mobiluncus  
🗑
show Fusobacterium  
🗑
show anaerobes. most anaerobes lack catalase(cannot eliminate toxic H202)  
🗑
pathogenesis in BV: these bacterial products may play a role in BV   show
🗑
show sexual transmission  
🗑
show clinical diagnosis of BV--Tx: metronidazole  
🗑
show complications of BV  
🗑
