there is a small problem here is that there arent enough pictures for all the text that we have so iam gonna separate some texts from their original pictures yk

Staphylococci Gram positive cocci

arranged in clusters

Catalase: positive

Coagulase: S. aureus (positive) & S. epidermidis, S. saprophyticus (negative)

DNase: S. aureus (positive)

Facultative anaerobes

S. aureus grows in presence of 7.5% sodium chloride and ferment mannitol

Catalase test

Use: Differentiate bacteria that produce catalase enzyme, Staphylococci, from non catalase producing bacteria such as Streptococci.

Principle: • some organisms produce catalase enzyme which breakdown the hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water.

Method: Few drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide solution, are placed on a clean glass slide; coloney of the organism is removed and immersed in the hydrogen peroxide solution. Interpretation: Immediate bubbling indicates positive results.

Coagulase test:

Use: differentiate Staphylococcus aureus that produce coagulase enzyme from non coagulase producing Staphylococcus (S. epidermidis and S. saprophyticus).

Principle: Coagulase causes plasma to clot by converting fibrinogen to fibrin.

Method: Slide coagulase test Tube coagulase test • 0.5 ml of the diluted plasma is put into tube. 5 drops of the suspension of test organism is added to the plasma in the tube. The tube is mixed gently, incubated at 35-37˚C, 1 hour Interpretation of test: • positive result :presence of fibrin clot.

DNase agar

Use: differentiate S. aureus which produce the DNAase enzyme from other staphylococci.

Principle: • Deoxyribonuclease enzyme hydrolyses DNA

Method: • The test organism is cultured on medium containing DNA. • Incubation at 37˚C for 18-24 hours, then the plate is flooded with a few millimeters of hydrochloric acid to precipitate unhydrolysed DNA. • The plate is examined against a dark background. • Interpretation: positive result: Clear zone around culture is detected.

virus isolation through tissue culture (viruses are obligate inrtra-cellular)

identify and compare between the 3 cell lines of virus cell culture

what virus causes CPE

- Cell death & detachment from surface

- Rounding & grape-like cluster formation

- Syncytium ‘giant cell formation’

(polio v.)

(adeno v.)

(measles, mumps)

what are the 6 other ways to detect virus that doesnt produce CPE and describe each (مستحيل يطلب 6 بس تخيل )

1- Haemadsorption: attachment of erythrocytes to the surface of virus infected cells e.g. in mumps, parainfluenza and influenza viruses

2-Haemagglutination: some viruses (influenza) can agglutinate sheep RBCs.

3- Hemagglutination inhibition: It is a test used for detection of specific antibodies that could prevent haemagglutination by the virus.

4- Detection of the virus antigens or its genome in infected cells.

5- Inclusion bodies in some infected cells.

6- Viral growth can be identified serologically by neutralization test.

mention the mechanism

virus isolation in the embryonated egg

• Some viruses will replicate in the living tissues and membranes of embryonated hen’s eggs, such as influenza virus.

• Egg-adapted strains of influenza virus replicate well in eggs and very high virus titers can be obtained.

identify ?

egg adapted strain of influenza virus

how does this mechanism of virus isolation works

by inoculating a susceptible host (laboratory animal) with infectious material derived from a patient and then observing that animal for signs of disease - suckling mice are used

- limited by virus ‘species specificity’, human viruses may need primates for replication.

identify ?

indirect serologic detection of antiviral antibodies = hist response

by IF, ELISA, CF, WB

(detection of IgM / or at least 4 fold increase of IgG)

i have no place for the image in the back

how are the antibodies detected in HIV

• Serology: Screening of blood for antibodies to HIV is first done by ELISA which is very sensitive test.

• Positive results should be confirmed using more specific tests like Western Blot (WB) or immunofluorsence (IF)
