NursingLink

 Well THIS should be very interesting, how many bacteria names do you know? We will play this game the same as the other name games started on Nurse link. Use the last letter on the bacteria added to name your own bacteria next. I will start...

Echerichia coli

Serratia ......

is a genus of Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shapedbacteria of the Enterobacteriaceae family. The most common species in the genus, S. marcescens, is normally the only pathogen and usually causes nosocomial infections. However, rare strains of S. plymuthica, S. liquefaciens, S. rubidaea, and S. odoriferae have caused diseases through infection.^[1] Members of this genus produce characteristic red pigment, prodigiosin, and can be distinguished from other members of the family Enterobacteriaceae by its unique production of three enzymes: DNase, lipase, and gelatinase.

<so.............ABusyRN........are you requiring us to do a definition of the cootie?  Or if we actually KNOW a name of one, we can just spit it out?  I think this is something found around sulfur and hot springs............but everybody can disregard this if yall want me to google something like mg is.....

 I agree have some fun here and add a definition if you want.  

Acetobacter aurantius : is a  family of gram negative bacteria usually found in soil or water or plants

 Staph aka a pimple on your buttacus

NIce!!!!!   

I'd just like to make an announcement to all the students who may be visiting......please do not try to impress your professor by sharing these bacterium in class.  LOL!!!!!!!!

Streptococcus pneumoniae

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a normal inhabitant of the human upper respiratory tract. The bacterium can cause pneumonia, usually of the lobar type, paranasal sinusitis and otitis media, or meningitis, which is usually secondary to one of the former infections. It also causes osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, endocarditis, peritonitis, cellulitis and brain abscesses. Streptococcus pneumoniae is currently the leading cause of invasive bacterial disease in children and the elderly. Streptococcus pneumoniae is known in medical microbiology as the pneumococcus, referring to its morphology and its consistent involvement in pneumococcal pneumonia.

 

Gram-positive, lancet-shaped cocci (elongated cocci with a slightly pointed outer curvature). Usually, they are seen as pairs of cocci (diplococci), but they may also occur singly and in short chains. When cultured on blood agar, they are alpha hemolytic. Individual cells are between 0.5 and 1.25 micrometers in diameter. They do not form spores, and they are nonmotile. Like other streptococci, they lack catalase and ferment glucose to lactic acid. Unlike other streptococci, they do not display an M protein, they hydrolyze inulin, and their cell wall composition is characteristic both in terms of their peptidoglycan and their teichoic acid.

I don't get it! LOL no good at this sort of thing. I get the bitchy nurse one. but not the other.

Salmonella typhi

is a gram-negative enteric bacillus and belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae. It is a motile, facultative anaerobe that is susceptible to various antibiotics.  It is an obligate parasite that has no known natural reservoir outside of humans.  S. typhi is a multi-organ pathogen that inhabits the lympathic tissues of the small intestine, liver, spleen, and bloodstream of infected humans. It is not known to infect animals and is most common in developing countries with poor sanitary systems and lack of antibiotics, putting travelers to Asia, Latin America, and Africa in a high risk group.

Ooooh....that sounds like a fun one!  I do love this stuff.

Azotobacter vinelandii is a diazotroph that can fix nitrogen while growing aerobically, it is usually cultured and grown on purpose. It is a free living N2 fixer which is known to produce many pytohormones and vitamins in the soil

Okay MG we are having WAY too much fun here we need to start our own web site! lol

 

next one starts with r or i.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is a pathogenic bacterial species in the genus Mycobacterium and the causative agent of most cases of tuberculosis.

Pseudomonas Aeruginosa -- an opportunistic pathogen that takes advantage of breaks in the body's defences and can strike soft tissue, the respiratory system, bones and joints. I remeber this one because it was one that we constantly had in Microbiology lab!!

wth starts with ' x'???  dont count this post........terencerobertstreptococcus  <I combined my 2 exhusbands with flesh eating bacteria, i do believe it exists>

 Ehrlichiosis is a bacterial infection that infects and kills white blood cells
