  1. Practical taxonomy Miscellanous bacteria Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma, Chlamydia Ricketsiaceae Spirochetales - Spirochetes, Leptospira, Borrelia Mycobacterium Nocardia , Actinomycetes,

  2. Genus:Bacillus - G+sporeforming bacilli, aerobic and facultatively anaerobic • Bacillus anthracis,Bacillus cereus,Other Bacillus sp. • Bacillus cereus - 2 enterotoxins - heat stable - emetic form - contaminated rice - heat resistant spores survive initial cooking that kills vegetative cells, germinate, multiply and toxin is not destroyed by reheting - heat labile - diarrheal form - adenylcyclase-cAMP system stimulation in intestinal cells - fluid accumulation -contaminated meat and vegetable - toxin is produced in situ, longer incubaion • Panophthalmitis - traumatic eye infection (soil, penetrating object), complete loss, massive destruction - toxins - necrotic - heat labile enterotoxin - cereolysin - hemolysin - phospholipase C - lecithinase • Ubiquitous, isolation witout symptoms = contamination • Other Bacillus - immunosupressed patients - shunt and catheter inf.

  3. Bacillus antracis

  4. Bacillus anthracis • Spore and capsule (protein) not seen in clinical specimens • Antrax toxin - 3 antigenically distinct components: -protective Ag, lethal factor, edema factor - not active separately, • Pathogenesis: capsule - antiphagocytic, Ab are not protective, toxins are active in cooperation of: protective + lethal or edema f. • Cultivation - on nonselective media, rapidly growing adherent colonies, no hemolysis, Non motility,liquifaction of agar Microscopy: caput medusae – serpentine like chains,

  5.
