wo General Characteristics of the Genus Bacillus ¢ Gram-positive, endospore-forming, motile rods ٠ Mostly saprobic ¢ Aerobic and catalase positive ¢ Versatile in degrading complex macromolecules ٠ Source of antibiotics ¢ Primary habitat is soil * 2 species of medical importance: - Bacillus anthracis - Bacillus cereus 

صفحه 6:
Bacillus anthracis ۰ Large, block-shaped rods * Central spores that develop under all conditions except in the living body * Virulence factors - polypeptide capsule and exotoxins * 3 types of anthrax: - cutaneous - spores enter through skin, black sore- eschar; least dangerous - pulmonary -inhalation of spores - gastrointestinal - ingested spores 

صفحه 7:
Control and Treatment * Treated with penicillin, tetracycline, or ciprofloxacin ¢ Vaccines - live spores and toxoid to protect livestock - purified toxoid; for high risk occupations and military personnel; toxoid 6X over 1.5 years; annual boosters

صفحه 9:
Bacillus cereus * Common airborne and dustborne; usual methods of disinfection and antisepsis are ineffective * Grows in foods, spores survive cooking and reheating * Ingestion of toxin-containing food causes nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and diarrhea; 24 hour duration * No treatment * Increasingly reported in immunosuppressed 

صفحه 10:
10 The Genus Clostridium * Gram-positive, spore-forming rods ¢ Anaerobic and catalase negative * 120 species * Oval or spherical spores produced only under anaerobic conditions ¢ Synthesize organic acids, alcohols, and exotoxins * Cause wound infections, tissue infections, and food intoxications 

صفحه 11:


صفحه 12:
Gas Gangrene * Clostridium perfringens most frequent clostridia involved in soft tissue and wound infections - myonecrosis ¢ Spores found in soil, human skin, intestine, and vagina * Predisposing factors - surgical incisions, compound fractures, diabetic ulcers, septic abortions, puncture wounds, gunshot wounds 

صفحه 13:
Virulence Factors ¢ Virulence factors - toxins - *alpha toxin - causes RBC rupture, edema and tissue destruction - collagenase - hyaluronidase - DNase 

صفحه 14:
Pathology * Not highly invasive; requires damaged and dead tissue and anaerobic conditions * Conditions stimulate spore germination, vegetative growth and release of exotoxins, and other virulence factors. ¢ Fermentation of muscle carbohydrates results in the formation of gas and further destruction of tissue. 14

صفحه 16:
Treatment and Prevention * Immediate cleansing of dirty wounds, deep wounds, decubitus ulcers, compound fractures, and infected incisions * Debridement of disease tissue * Large doses of cephalosporin or penicillin * Hyperbaric oxygen therapy * No vaccines available 

صفحه 17:
Clostridium difficile- Associated Disease (CDAD) Normal resident of colon, in low numbers Causes antibiotic-associated colitis - relatively non-invasive; treatment with broad- spectrum antibiotics kills the other bacteria, allowing C. difficile to overgrow Produces enterotoxins that damage intestines Major cause of diarrhea in hospitals Increasingly more common in community acquired diarrhea 17 

صفحه 18:
Treatment and Prevention ¢ Mild uncomplicated cases respond to fluid and electrolyte replacement and withdrawal of antimicrobials. * Severe infections treated with oral vancomycin or metronidazole and replacement cultures ۰ Increased precautions to prevent spread 

صفحه 19:
Tetanus * Clostridium tetani * Common resident of soil and GI tracts of animals * Causes tetanus or lockjaw, a neuromuscular disease * Most commonly among geriatric patients and IV drug abusers; neonates in developing countries 

صفحه 20:
Pathology * Spores usually enter through accidental puncture wounds, burns, umbilical stumps, frostbite, and crushed body parts. ٠ Anaerobic environment is ideal for vegetative cells to grow and release toxin. ¢ Tetanospasmin - neurotoxin causes paralysis by binding to motor nerve endings; blocking the release of neurotransmitter for muscular contraction inhibition; muscles contract uncontrollably * Death most often due to paralysis of respiratory muscles 20

صفحه 22:
۱ Prevention ¢ Treatment aimed at deterring degree of toxemia and infection and maintaining homeostasis ¢ Antitoxin therapy with human tetanus immune globulin; inactivates circulating toxin but does not counteract that which is already bound * Control infection with penicillin or tetracycline; and muscle relaxants * Vaccine available; booster needed every 10 years 22 

صفحه 23:
Clostridial Food Poisoning ٠ Clostridium botulinum - rare but severe intoxication usually from home canned food ٠ Clostridium perfringens - mild intestinal illness; second most common form of food poisoning worldwide 

صفحه 24:
Botulinum Food Poisoning ٠ Botulism - intoxication associated with inadequate food preservation * Clostridium botulinum - spore- forming anaerobe; commonly inhabits soil and water 

صفحه 25:
Pathogenesis Spores are present on food when gathered and processed. If reliable temperature and pressure are not achieved air will be evacuated but spores will remain. Anaerobic conditions favor spore germination and vegetative growth. Potent toxin, botulin, is released. Toxin is carried to neuromuscular junctions and blocks the release of acetylcholine, necessary for muscle contraction to occur. Double or blurred vision, difficulty swallowing, neuromuscular symptoms
