NEISSERIAE SPECIES

-



(Neisseriae species) Mode of transmission,mechanisms by which microorganisms cause disease and diagnosis





 Define Neisseriae 
This is a Gram negative  intrcellular diplococci occurring in pair
 List the species of Neisseriae species
  • Nesseriae gonorrhoeae
  • Neisseriae menegitidis
  • Neisseriae mucosa
  • Neisseriae subflava
  • Meisseriae flavescen

 Mention the species of medical importance
  • Nesseriae gonorrhoeae
  • Neisseriae menegitidis
:Describe the normal habitat Nesseriae gonorrhoeae  
—  Genital area


 Describe the morphology Nesseriae gonorrhoeae  
  • Are Gram negative Diplococci(pairs)
  • Are oval, bean or kidney shaped.
  • Are in pairs or in masses.
  • Are non sporing.
  • Have a small capsule.



Step 7: Describe the mode of transmission and pathogenicity of  Nesseriae gonorrhoeae  
Nesseriae gonorrhoeae  is transmitted :-
  • Sexual contact
  • Congetnitally in neonatal during birth 
 
   

PATHOGENICITY-
Nesseriae gonorrhoeae  causes:-
  • Acute conjunctivitis in infants born of mothers with gonorrhoeae.The eyes are infected during delivery.
  • Vulvovaginitis in pre-pubertal girls
  • Gonococcus arthritis i.e. joint pain, fever and rash.
  • In male it causes;-inflammation of the ducts and dysuria
  • In female it causes ;-inflammation of the fallopian tubes(salpingitis),PID,cervical and urethral infection
 Enzymes produced by Nesseriae gonorrhoeae  
Enzymes
The above pathogenicity is due to production/secretion of enzymes
These enzymes enable the bacteria to attack an individual and cause a disease or an infection. They include:-
—  Beta lactamase
 Describe the laboratory diagnosis Nesseriae gonorrhoeae  
1.SPECIMENS
—  HVS
—  Blood
—  Urethral swab
—  Cervical swab
—  Eye swabs
—  CSF
NB:specimens are transported in Stuarts transport media

2.CULTURE CHARACTERISTICS
  • Its an aerobe or facultative aerobe.
  • It’s a fastidious organism and delay should be avoided when culturing.
  • Isolation is done on :-
(i)Modified New York City media(MNYC)
(i)Thayer Martin media(TM)


MNYC   or  THAYER MARTIN MEDIA
  • -Colonies grow rapidly. They are small grey raised colonies after an over night incubation at 35-37 0c

.
3.BIOCHEMICAL TESTS
Neisseriae gonorrhea is:-
  • Oxidase positive
  • Catalase positive
  • Ferments glucose only.Doesnt ferment lactose Maltose and sucrose
4.PREVENTION
  • Avoid sexual contact with infected persons
  • Safe sex practice
  • Seek medical treatment
  • Hygiene

ASCITES

Ascites Definition Ascites is the enormous accumulation of fluid (pale yellow and clear fluid) in the abdominal peritoneal cavity. Fluid fills between the abdomen and the organs. This cavity is the lining between the abdominal wall and the stomach. This cavity is located below the chest cavity and it is separated by the diaphragm, the ascitic fluid is produced due to variety of disease such as cancer, liver disease, kidney failure and heart failure. Ascites History Ascites were recognised in ancient times. In 20 B.C Celsus first described the technique of paracentesis for aspirating the fluid from the peritoneal cavity by using a bronze tube with flanged collar to drain fluid. In 1827, Ludwig van Beethoven gave large volume paracenteses to one of the famous patients. whose physician wrote about his deathbed with the following description: “‘The tremendous volume of the water accumulated called for immediate relief; and I found myself compelled to advocate the abdo

HOW TO YOU USE CONDOM Two Methods: Using a Male Condom Using a Female Condom Community Q&A When things get up close and personal, the rule is always "better safe than sorry." When it comes to sexual behaviors, condoms are a must-have accessory—and when used correctly, they are your best defense against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) including HIV. They are also highly effective at their original role as a contraceptive device. There are two basic types: male condoms and female condoms. Method 1 Using a Male Condom 1 Store condoms safely.  Condoms can become brittle and more likely to break if you don’t store them correctly. Condoms that are exposed to heat or light are more likely to tear. [1] Don’t keep condoms in your back pocket, wallet, or glovebox. If you think you may get lucky, put a couple in your wallet or car right before you hit the town. Don’t leave them there for days or weeks. Store condoms in a cool, dry plac
