34
Aerotolerant Anaerobes
Fermentation, but can tolerate O2
35
Microaerophils
Needs decreased O2, Increased CO2
36

Needs increased CO2
37
Growth Curve phases
- Lag-phase - Log-phase - Stationary phase - Death phase
38
EMB Agar
- Gram-negative growth - Purple / Green = Lactose positive
39
Colony Forming Unit
Dose of Bacteria (virulence) = N x 50 x 1/D
40
Types of Haemolysis
- Alpha: Green discoloration - Beta: Transparent - Gamma: No haemolysis
41
Physical Sterilization Methods
- Dry heat - Wet heat (autoclave) - Radiation - Plasmasterilization (H2O2)
42
Chemical Sterilization Methods
- Gas sterilization - Liquid sterilization
43
Gas sterilization
- Ethylene oxide - Formaldehyde - Osone
44
Liquid sterilization
- Gluteraldehyde / Formaldehyde - Peracetic acid - Sodium hypochlorite
45
Physical Disinfection Methods
- Filtration (mainly bacteria) - Wet heat
46
Chemical Disinfection Methods
- Dehydrating agents (alcohol) - Oxidizing agents (halogens, H2O2) - Detergents - Phenols - Aldehydes
47
Pyrogen
Any substance that can lead to inflammation and fever
48
LPS problems in sterilization
LPS is not inactivated unless incinerated which you need resistant material for
49
LAL test
Detection of residual LPS in IV solutions after depyrogenation
50
Prophylactic Therapy (chemoprophylaxis)
Administration of Antibiotics to a high-risk case BEFORE the infection occurs
51
Empirical Therapy
Administration of Antibiotics in suspected bacterial infections without knowing the exact etiology
52
Targeted Therapy
Administration of Antibiotics against an isolated and identified bacterium from a patient sample
53
Susceptibility test result guided Therapy
Basically same as Targeted Therapy but after doing a susceptibility test to confirm that the bacterium is really sensitive to that drug
54
Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC)
Concentration of a drug that is able to inhibit the growth of a standard concentration of Bacteria
55
Minimal Bactericidal Concentration (MBC)
Concentration of a drug that kills a standard concentration of Bacteria
56

57
Bactericidal Antibiotics
- Beta-lactams - Glycopeptides - Aminoglycosides - Metronidazol - Rifampicin - Polymixines
58
Pharmacokinetcs
What the body does to the antibiotic (absorption, distribution, elimination)
59
Pharmacodynamics
What the antibiotic does to the body/pathogen
60
Chemotheraputic Index (Ehrlich)
Dosis tolerata maxima / Dosis curativa minima (the larger the ratio, the safer the drug)
61
Types of Antibiotic Resistance
- Primary / Natural - Secondary / Acquired
62
