A 14-year-old girl suffered from abdominal pain, nausea, bloody diarrhea, and fever. Stool specimens are collected and sent to the laboratory for bacteriologic and parasitologic examination. Bacterial cultures are negative for intestinal pathogens. The laboratory report reveals organisms with red blood cells inside them. The most likely causal agent is * Toxoplasma gondii Shigella dysenteriae Cryptosporidium parvum Giardia lamblia Entamoeba histolytica
The patient was an 80-year-old female who 10 days previously had had a cystocele repair performed. At the time of the hospital admission, a urine culture was obtained and revealed >100,000 CFU/ml of an Escherichia coli strain that was susceptible to all antimicrobial agents against which it was tested. Postoperatively, she began a 7-day course of oral cephalexin. She was discharged after an uneventful postoperative course of 3 days. Ten days postoperatively, she presented with a 3-day history of diarrhea. The patient noted multiple watery, loose stools without blood, crampy abdominal pain, and vomiting. She presented with a temperature of 38.2 degrees C, pulse rate of 90/min, respiration rate of 20/min, and blood pressure of 116/53mm Hg. Her white blood cell count was normal, but a large number (53%) of immature polymorphonuclear cells were seen. Physical examination, electrolytes, liver enzymes, and lipase were all within normal limits. Cultures for Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia,…
A patient in ICU with an indwelling medical device is presenting with invasive infection symptoms, specifically fever and chills. They have been on a course of antibiotics that has not alleviated the condition. a) What type of organism do you suspect is causing the infection and why?
You are working in a lab studying Streptococcus pyogenes as a cause of necrotizing fasciitiis. You have an overnight culture that you want to know the starting concentration of, so do a set of six 1:10 serial dilutions (putting 1 mL from the stock into a 9 mL blank), with tube #1 being 1:10, #2 is 1:100, etc. You plate 0.1 mL from tube 5 onto a blood agar plate and the next morning count 134 colonies. How many bacteria (measured in CFU/mL) were in the overnight culture flask? A. 1.34 x 10^4 CFU/mL B. 1.34 x 10^5 CFU/mL C. 1.34 x 10^6 CFU/mL D. 1.34 x 10^7 CFU/mL E. 1.34 x 10^8 CFU/mL F. cannot tell based on the data given - you'd need to know the volume of the original culture flask
