Gram (+) anaerobic spore-forming rod (colon)
Explanation
.
Gram (+) aerobic rod (conjunctiva, mouth and nose, urogenital tract)
Gram (+) facultative anaerobic spherical clusters (skin/nail, conjunctiva, mouth and nose, urogenital, GI = everywhere)
Gram (+) facultative anaerobic (primarily aerobic) spherical clusters (skin/nails, conjunctiva, mouth and nose, everywhere else)
Gram (+) facultative anaerobic spherical pairs and chains (pretty much everywhere, except maybe GI) Otitis Media = earaches
Gram (+) facultative anaerobic spherical pairs and chains (skin/nails, conjunctiva, urogenital); Group A
Gram (+) facultative anaerobic spherical pairs or clusters (mouth and nose, GI tract), not very pathogenic but can cause subacute endocarditis in people with damaged heart valves, necrotizing fascitis
Gram (+) facultative anaerobic spherical pairs or clusters (mouth)
Few Gram negative bacteria
Gram (-) aerobic coccobaccillus; aka Whopping cough
Gram (-) facultative anaerobic enteric rod (enterobacteriacae)
Gram (-) facultative anaerobic coccobacilli; epiglottitis, sinusitis, otitis media), found naturally in upper respiratory tract
Gram (-) microaerophilic helical rod (curved) found in stomach
Gram (-) facultative anaerobic rod; enterobacteriaceae, so throughout gut
Gram (-) aerobic coccobacillus
Gram (-) aerobic spheres; septic arthritis also called septic joint (mouth and nose)
Gram (-) aerobic rod, very persistent
Gram (-) enteric rod (facultative anaerobe) (enterobacteriaceae)
Gram (-) enteric rod (facultative anaerobe) (enterobacteriaceae), aka Shigellosis
Gram (-) enteric rods; facultative anaerobes (primarily aerobes), reduce nitrate to nitrite or nitrogen; ferment D-glucose with gas and (often) produce gas
Bacteroides (e.g. fragilis) are gram (-) anaerobic non-enteric rods
Obligate intracellular
Spirochete; anaerobic
AFB, lungs, resident
AFB
Fungus; immunocompromised hosts, yeast
Fungus; geographic variation, dimorphic
fungus; geographical variation, dimorphic
Fungi; immunocompromised hosts, found normally in mouth and nose, A. terreus, mold (only mold)
Fungi; similar infections of the nail, beard, skin, and scalp, dermatophyte
Fungi, dermatophyte?
Protozoan, ameba
Protozoan, flagellate
Protozoan; aka vulvovaginitis, flagellate
Protozoan, sporozoan
Previously erroneously classified as a protozoan, now recognized as a fungus; aka PCP, more common in immunocompromised hosts, resident
Protozoa, more common in immunocompromised hosts, resident, sporozoan
Enterococcus was formerly group D strep, clostridium in colon, helicobacter pylori in stomach, remember bacteroides is anaerobic, hence found in lower gut
DNA
Unoticed in many healthy people but serious in immunocompromised
DNA; associated with AIDS
DNA, liver disease
DNA, can lead to cervical cancer
all RNA
RNA
All RNA except Adenovirus
PCP, actually fungal
helminths
Group B
Nosocomial infections/tough drug resistance
Gram (+) aerobic spore-forming rod
Gram (+) anaerobic spore-forming rod (soil)
Lockjaw; Gram (+) anaerobic spore-forming rod (soil)
Gram (-) aerobic spheres (mouth and nose)
No cell wall
Fungi, pretty much everywhere; yeast, candida albicans, candida glabrata, candida krusei
