Presentation Transcript

  1. Chapter 21, part A Microbial Diseases of the Skin and Eyes

  2. Skin • Salt inhibits microbes • Lysozyme hydrolyzes peptidoglycan • Fatty acids inhibit some pathogens Figure 21.1

  3. Mucous Membranes • Line body cavities • Epithelial cells attached to an extracellular matrix • Cells secrete mucus • Some have cilia

  4. Normal Microbiota of the Skin • Gram-positive, salt-tolerant bacteria • Staphylococci • Micrococci • Diphtheroids Figure 14.1a

  5. Microbial Diseases of the Skin • Exanthem • Skin rash arising from another focus of infection • Enanthem • Mucous membrane rash arising from another focus of infection

  6. Microbial Diseases of the Skin Figure 21.2

  7. Staphylococcal Skin Infections • S. epidermidis • Gram-positive cocci, coagulase-negative • Staphylococcus aureus • Gram-positive cocci, coagulase-positive • Leukocidin • Exfoliative toxin

  8. Staphylococcal Skin Infections Figure 21.3

  9. Staphylococcal Skin Infections • Folliculitis • Infections of hair follicles • Sty • Folliculitis of an eyelash • Furuncle • Abscess; pus surrounded by inflamed tissue • Carbuncle • Inflammation of tissue under the skin

  10. Staphylococcal Skin Infections • Impetigo of the newborn • Toxemia • Scalded skin syndrome • Toxic shock syndrome Figure 21.4

  11. Streptococcal Skin Infections • Streptococcus pyogenes • Group A beta-hemolytic streptococci • M proteins Figure 21.5

  12. Streptococcal Skin Infections • Erysipelas • Impetigo Figure 21.6, 7

  13. Invasive Group A Streptococcal Infections • Streptokinases • Hyaluronidase • Exotoxin A, superantigen • Cellulitis • Necrotizing fasciitis Figure 21.8

  14. Infections by Pseudomonads • Pseudomonas aeruginosa • Gram-negative, aerobic rod • Pyocyanin produces a blue-green pus • Pseudomonas dermatitis • Otitis externa • Post-burn infections

  15. Calculate the relative risk to determine the most likely source of Pseudmonas dermatitis a a + b c c + d e f e = f = Relative Risk =

  16. What was the mostly likely source of this outbreak of Pseudmonas dermatitis?

  17. Acne • Comedonal acne • Occurs when sebum channels are blocked with shed cells • Inflammatory acne • Propionibacterium acnes • Gram-positive, anaerobic rod • Treatment: • Preventing sebum formation (isotretinoin) • Antibiotics • Benzoyl peroxide to loosen clogged follicles • Visible (blue) light (kills P. acnes) • Nodular cystic acne • Treatment: isotretinoin

  18. Warts • Papillomaviruses • Treatment: • Removal • Imiquimod (stimulate interferon production) • Interferon
