The patient was a 44 year-old male with a past medical history significant for
hypertension, non-insulin-dependent diabetes, high cholesterol, and heavy smoking (2
packs/day). He presented to the emergency room with complaints of chest pain and was found to
have suffered a myocardial infarction (heart attack). A cardiac catheterization on hospital day 3
showed three arterial occlusions, and he underwent a triple-bypass on hospital day 5. On day 7,
he developed septic shock with acute respiratory and renal failure, requiring intubation. He had
a fever at that time of 39.3° C and two blood cultures were obtained. A chest x-ray showed left
lung pleural effusion and a chest tube was inserted to drain the effusion. On day 11, pus was
leaking from the sternal wound. Cultures derived from the wound and from the chest tube grew
the organism noted in figures 1 and 2. A Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion assay is shown in figure 3.

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.

Since not every antibiotic is effective against every type of bacteria, knowing what caused a particular infection allows us to make correct prescriptions so patients can recover more quickly. Knowing the cause of an infection also prevents antibiotic resistance as well, since incorrect prescriptions allow bacteria to be unnecessarily be exposed to antibiotics, increasing the chances of developing resistance.arrow_forward
- Donna suddenly developed a sore throat accompanied by a fever of 103°F. When over-the-counter medication was ineffective, Donna sought the advice of her doctor. He took a throat culture and, anticipating that it might be a bacterial infection, he began her on a 10-day regime of antibiotics. Why is it important that the doctor confirms this is a bacterial infection, before prescribing antibiotics?
