Pathogenic Gram-Positive Cocci (Staphylococci)

Gram-Positive Pathogens Stain purple when gram-stained Can be categorized into 2 major groups Genera of cocci-shaped organisms- Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Enterococcus Genera of bacilli-shaped organisms- Bacillus, Clostridium, Listeria, Corynebacterium, Mycobacterium, Propionibacterium, Nocardia, and Actinomyces

Staphylococcus Normal members of every human’s microbiota Can be opportunistic pathogens

Structure and Physiology Gram-positive cocci, nonmotile, facultative anaerobes Cells occur in grapelike clusters because cells division occurs along different planes and the daughter cells remain attached to one another Salt-tolerant: allows them to tolerate the salt present on human skin Tolerant of desiccation: allows survival on environmental surfaces (fomites)

Structure and Physiology Two species are commonly associated with staphylococcal diseases in humans Staphylococcus aureus-The more virulent strain that can produce a variety of conditions depending on the site of infection Staphylococcus epidermidis-Normal microbiota of human skin that can cause opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients or when introduced into the body

Pathogenicity “Staph’ infections result when staphylococci breach the body’s physical barriers Entry of only a few hundred bacteria can result in disease Pathogenicity results from 3 features Structures that enable it to evade phagocytosis Production of enzymes Production of toxins

Structural Defenses Against Phagocytosis Protein A coats the cell surface Interferes with humoral immune responses by binding to class G antibodies Inhibits the complement cascade Clumping Factor (Bound coagulase) Converts the soluble blood protein fibrinogen in insoluble fibrin molecules that form blood clots Fibrin clots hide the bacteria from phagocytic cells

Structural Defenses Against Phagocytosis 3. Synthesize loosely organized polysaccharide slime layers (often called capsules) Inhibit chemotaxis of and phagocytosis by leukocytes Facilitates attachment of Staphylococcus to artificial surfaces

Enzymes Coagulase Hyaluronidase Staphylokinase Triggers blood clotting Breaks down hyaluronic acid, enabling the bacteria to spread between cells Staphylokinase Dissolves fibrin threads in blood clots, allowing Staphylococcus aureus to free itself from clots

Enzymes (cont.) 4. Lipases 5. -lactamase Digest lipids, allowing staphylococcus to grow on the skin’s surface and in cutaneous oil glands 5. -lactamase Breaks down penicillin Allows the bacteria to survive treatment with -lactam antimicrobial drugs

Toxins Staphylococcus aureus produces toxins more frequently than S.epidermidis 1. Cytolytic toxins Disrupts the cytoplasmic membrane of a variety of cells Leukocidin can lyse leukocytes specifically 2. Exfoliative toxins Causes the patient’s skin cells to separate from each other and slough off the body

Toxins (cont.) 3. Toxic-shock-syndrome toxin 4. Enterotoxins Causes toxic shock syndrome 4. Enterotoxins Stimulate the intestinal muscle contractions, nausea, and intense vomiting associated with staphylococcal food poisoning

Virulence factors of Staphylococcus aureus                                                                                                               III.   

Staphylococcal Diseases 3 categories Noninvasive Disease Food poisoning from the ingestion of enterotoxin-contaminated food Cutaneous Disease Various skin conditions including scalded skin syndrome, impetigo, folliculitis, and furuncles

Staphylococcal Diseases Systemic Disease Toxic shock syndrome-TSS toxin is absorbed into the blood and causes shock Bacteremia-presence of bacteria in the blood Endocarditis-occurs when bacteria attack the lining of the heart Pneumonia-inflammation of the lungs in which the alveoli and bronchioles become filled with fluid Osteomyelitis-inflammation of the bone marrow and the surrounding bone

Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention Detection of Gram-positive bacteria in grapelike arrangements isolated from pus, blood, or other fluids Treatment Methicillin is the drug of choice to treat staphylococcal infections Is a semisynthetic form of penicillin and is not inactivated by -lactamase

Diagnosis Specimen Smear Culture Film Biochemical Reactions Antibiogram Typing

Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention (cont.) Hand antisepsis is the most important measure in preventing nosocomial infections Also important is the proper cleansing of wounds and surgical openings, aseptic use of catheters or indwelling needles, an appropriate use of antiseptics
