As a last and final post, I thought I would summarize all the weird species names for our second Lab Exam. At the end, pathogens for our last lab are grouped according to the Etiologic Agent, because I was having trouble keeping track of which one was what. Hope this helps, happy studying : )
E.coli= MR-> mixed acid pathway for carb fermentation
Enterobacter aerogenes=VP-> 2,3 butanediol for car fermentation
Cauliflower mosaic virus= 35S promotor for GM foods
Agobacterium tumefaciens= NOS terminator for GM foods
Micrococcus luteus=stimulated epidemic -grows yellow
Staphylococcus aureus= common pathogen with beta hemolytic pattern- did passive agglutination test on
Streptococcus pyogens=common pathogen with beta hemolytic patter= did modified direct ELISA
Streptococcus mutans= forms dental caries by making biofilm on tooth surface aka= Initiation of dental caries
Lactobacillus acidophilus= colonizes biofilm and produces lactic acid aka= Progression of dental caries
Pathogens (10 total)
Bacteria=
1. Bacillus antrhracis= Anthrax= gram + rod
2. Nesseria gonorrhoeae= Gonorrhea= gram - diplococcus
Protozoa
1. Giardia lamblia= Giardiasis
2. Plasmodium falciparum= Malaria
3. Trypanosoma brucei gambiense= African Trypansomiasis (African Sleeping Sickness)
Helminths
1. Cestode (tapeworm)= Taenia solium= Cysticercosis
2. Nematode (roundworm)= Ascaris lumbricoidies= Ascariasis
3. Trematode (flatworm)= Schistosoma mansori = Schistosomiasis
Virus
1. Epstein Barr Virus= Infectious mononucleosis= "mono"
Yeast
1. Candida albicans= Candidiasis/ Vaginal yeast infection/ Thrush
