Explanation / Answer
Genus species name
Enterococcus faecium
Disease(s) caused, symptoms
1) Urinary tract and abdominal infections (burning pain with urination, urinary urgency and increased urinary frequency)
2) Wound infections (Infected wounds are typically red, swollen and tender, with Pus oozing out)
3) Endocarditis (low-grade fever and chills, headache and body aches, night sweats and fatigue)
Effective antibiotics
Nitrofurantoin
Linezolid
Daptomycin
Ampicillin
General Characteristics
Gram stain
Gram +ve
Shape, colony morphology, color
Color - white
Shape - circular
The colonies formed are 1-2 mm in length and appear wet.
Genus species name
Staphylococcus Aureus
Disease(s) caused, symptoms
1) Skin infections such as abscesses (Pus., are infected will be red and swollen)
2) Respiratory infections such as sinusitis (difficulty breathing, malaise, fever, or chills)
3) Food poisoning (nausea, vomiting, retching, stomach cramping, and diarrhea)
Effective antibiotics
Penicillin
Oxacillin
Flucloxacillin
General Characteristics
Gram stain
Gram +ve
Shape, colony morphology, color
Large, round, golden-yellow colonies
Genus species name
Klebsiella pneumonia
Disease(s) caused, symptoms
1) Destructive changes to human lungs (by necrosis which produces a thick, bloody, mucoid sputum)
2) Pneumonia (fever, chills, respiratory tract infection)
Effective antibiotics
Ampicillin/sulbactam
Piperacillin/tazobactam
Ticarcillin/clavulanate
Ceftazidime
Cefepime
Levofloxacin
Norfloxacin
Gatifloxacin
Moxifloxacin
Meropenem
Ertapenem.
General Characteristics
Gram stain
Gram -ve
Shape, colony morphology, color
Rod shaped, white colonies on blood agar. Appear single in pairs or short chains
Genus species name
Acinetobacter baumannii
Disease(s) caused, symptoms
Infections that include
1) Bacteremia
2) Pneumonia (fever ,chills)
3) Urinary tract infection (increased frequency of urination, burning sensation)
4) Wound infection (Pus formation)
Effective antibiotics
Imipenem
Meropenem
Polymyxins
General Characteristics
Gram stain
Gram -ve
Shape, colony morphology, color
short rods (coccobacilli)
measuring 1.0-1.5 by 1.5-2.5 microns during growth
Cells are found in pairs or small clusters; the groups form smooth, pale colonies on solid media.
Genus species name
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Disease(s) caused, symptoms
1) Infects the airway (difficulty breathing)
2) Urinary tract infection (burning sensation while urinating, increased frequency of urination)
3) Infection of burns and wounds (Pus formation)
Effective antibiotics
Aminoglycosides
Quinolones
Cephalosporins
Antipseudomonal penicillins
Polymyxins
General Characteristics
Gram stain
Gram -ve
Shape, colony morphology, color
It is a red coloured rod about 1-5 µm long and 0.5-1.0 µm wide
Genus species name
Enterobacter species
Disease(s) caused, symptoms
1) Urinary tract infection (increased frequency of urination, burning sensation during urination)
2) respiratory tract infection (shortness of breath, difficulty breathing)
Effective antibiotics
Cefepime
Imipenem
Aminoglycosides
Quinolones
General Characteristics
Gram stain
Gram -ve
Shape, colony morphology, color
Rod shaped, white colored on TSB media. Appear single, in pairs or colonies.
