About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical titled "Staphylococcus”.

This medical is about staphylococcus, a genus of bacteria that includes several species of spherical, Gram-positive bacteria. These bacteria are commonly found on the skin and in the nose of humans and animals, and they can also be found in the environment. While many species of Staphylococcus are harmless and may even be beneficial, some species can cause infections, particularly when they enter the body through a cut or wound.

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most well-known species of Staphylococcus and is responsible for a wide range of infections in humans, including skin infections, pneumonia, and sepsis. Other species, such as Staphylococcus epidermidis, are common residents of the skin and mucous membranes and typically do not cause disease in healthy individuals. However, they can cause infections in people with weakened immune systems or who have indwelling medical devices, such as catheters or artificial joints.

Staphylococcus bacteria are known for their ability to develop resistance to antibiotics, which can make infections more difficult to treat. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a strain of S. aureus that is resistant to many antibiotics and can cause serious infections that are difficult to treat. Preventative measures, such as proper hand hygiene, wound care, and appropriate use of antibiotics, can help reduce the spread of Staphylococcus infections.

Slide 1-

STAPHYLOCOCCUS
Slide 2-

Staphylococci are gram positive cocci, Occur in grape like clusters, In Greek; staphyle - Bunch of grapes Kokkus - Berry
Slide 3-

CLASSIFICATION: A) Based on coagulase production: 1. Coagulase positive: Eg- S. aureus 2. Coagulase negative: Eg- S. epidermidis S. saprophyticus B) Based on pathogenicity: 1. Common pathogen: Eg- S. aureus 2. Opportunistic pathogens: Eg- S. epidermidis S. saprophyticus 3. Non pathogen: Eg- S. homonis
Slide 4-

STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS MORPHOLOGY: These are spherical cocci. Approximately 1μm in diameter. Arranged characteristically in grape like clusters. They are non motile and non sporing. A few strains possess capsules.

Slide 18-

Disease: Diseases produced by Staphylococcus aureus is studied under 2 groups: A) Infections B) Intoxications
Slide 19-

A) INFECTIONS: Mechanism of pathogenesis: Cocci gain access to damaged skin, mucosal or tissue site Colonize by adhering to cells or extracellular matrix Evade the host defense mechanisms and multiply Cause tissue damage
Slide 20-

Common Staphylococcal infections are: 1) Skin and soft tissue: Folliculitis, furuncle (boil), carbuncle, styes, abscess, wound infections, impetigo, paronychia and less often cellulitis. Folliculitis
Slide 21-

Furuncle (boil) Carbuncle

2) Musculoskeletal: Osteomyelitis, arthritis, bursitis, pyomyositis. osteomyelitis 3) Respiratory: Tonsillitis, pharyngitis, sinusitis, otitis, bronchopneumonia, lung abscess, empyema, rarely pneumonia.
Slide 25-

4) Central nervous system: Abscess, meningitis, intracranial thrombophlebitis. 5) Endovascular: Bacteremia, septicemia, pyemia, endocarditis. Endocarditis 6) Urinary: Urinary tract infection.
Slide 26-

B) INTOXICATIOINS: The disease is caused by the bacterial exotoxins, which are produced either in the infected host or preformed in vitro. There are 3 types- Food poisoning Toxic shock syndrome Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome
Slide 27-

1) Food poisoning: Enterotoxin is responsible for manifestations of staphylococcal food poisoning. Eight types of enterotoxin are currently known, named A, B, C1-3, D, E, and H. It usually occurs when preformed toxin is ingested with contaminated food. The toxin acts directly on the autonomic nervous system to cause the illness, rather than gut mucosa.
Slide 28-

The common food items responsible are - milk and milk products, meat, fish and ice cream. Source of infection- food handler who is a carrier. Incubation period- 2 to 6 hours. Clinical symptoms- nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. The illness is usually self limited, with recovery in a day or so.
Slide 29-

2) Staphylococcal Toxic shock syndrome (STSS): STSS is associated with infection of mucosal or sequestered sites by TSST( formerly known as enterotoxin type F) producing S.aureus. It is fatal multisystem disease presenting with fever, hypotension, myalgia, vomiting, diarrhoea, mucosal hyperemia and erythematous rash which desquamates subsequently.

Slide 31-

2 types of STSS known: i) Menstrual associated STSS: Here colonization of S.aureus occurs in the vagina of menstruating woman who uses highly absorbent vaginal tampons. ii) Non menstrual associated STSS: Here colonization of S.aureus occurs in other sites like surgical wound.
Slide 32-

3) Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS): Exfoliative toxin produced by S.aureus is responsible for this. It is a skin disease in which outer layer of epidermis gets separated from the underlying tissues.
Slide 33-

Types of SSSS: Severe form Milder form In new born - Ritter’s disease - Pemphigus neonatorum In older patients - Toxic epidermal - Bullous necrolysis impetigo
Slide 34-

LAB DIAGNOSIS: Specimens collected: Depends on the type of infection. Suppurative lesion- Pus, Respiratory infection- Sputum, Bacteremia & septicemia- Blood, Food poisoning- Feces, vomit & the remains of suspected food, For the detection of carriers- Nasal swab.
Slide 36-

I) Direct microscopy: Direct microscopy with Gram stained smear is useful in case of pus, where cocci in clusters are seen. This is of no value for specimen like sputum where mixed flora are normally present. Methods of examination:
Slide 37-

c) Gram staining: Smears are examined from the culture plate and reveals Gram positive cocci(1μm in diameter) arranged in grape like clusters. II) Culture: a) Media used: b) Cultural Characteristics:
Slide 38-

d) Biochemical reactions: III) Antibiotic sensitivity tests done as a guide to treatment. IV) Bacteriophage typing is done for epidemiological purposes. V) Serological tests are not useful.
Slide 39-

TREATMENT: Drug resistance is common. Benzyl penicillin is the most effective antibiotic, if the strain is sensitive. Cloxacillin or Methicillin is used against beta-lactamase producing strains. Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains have become common. Vancomycin is used in treatment of infections with MRSA strains.
Slide 40-

EPIDEMIOLOGY: Staphylococci are primary parasites of human beings and animals. Hospital infections caused by staphylococci deserve special attention because of their frequency & they are caused by strains resistant to various antibiotics. Staphylococci are the common cause of postoperative wound infection and other hospital cross infections.
Slide 41-

PREVENTION: Isolation & treatment of MRSA patients. Detection of carriers among hospital staff, their isolation & treatment. Avoid indiscriminate usage of antibiotics.
Slide 42-

Coagulase Negative Staphylococci( CoNS ): Two species of coagulase negative Staphylococci can cause human infections- 1. Staphylococcus epidermidis 2. Staphylococcus saprophyticus
Slide 43-

S. Epidermidis: It is a common cause of stitch abscesses. It has predilection for growth on implanted foreign bodies such as artificial valves, shunts, intravascular catheters and prosthetic appliances leading to bacteraemia. In persons with structural abnormalities of urinary tract, it can cause cystitis. Endocarditis may be caused, particularly in drug addicts.
Slide 44-

S.saprophyticus: It causes urinary tract infections, mostly in sexually active young women. The infection is symptomatic and may involve the upper urinary tract also. Men are infected much less often. It is one of the few frequently isolated CoNS that is resistant to Novobiocin.
