Staphylococci
1. Nomenclaturea. coagulase positive: primarily Staphylococcus aureus
• Coagulase test
b. coagulase negative: many species of Staphylococcusc. microdase positive: Micrococcus species
• modified oxidase test
2. Epidemiologya. Normal flora of skin and mucosab. Carrier state high in normal population
• easily transmitted

3. Pathogenesisa. localized skin infections
• follicles, boils, furuncles, carbuncles

3. Pathogenesisb. toxin mediated diseases
• Enterotoxin: food poisoning• Exfoliatin: scalded skin syndrome• TSST-1: toxic shock syndrome• Pantone-Valentine Leukocidin?

3. Pathogenesisc. systemic infections
• all species: bacteremia• S. saprophyticus: UTI• Central Nervous System (CNS): indwelling devices (catheters,
valves, hardware, shunts)
d. antimicrobial resistance• Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
– nosocomial v. community (PVL as marker?)– screening programs to detect colonization in hospitalized patients
• Vancomycin Intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA)– thicker cell wall, grow poorly, vanco less active
• VRSA – vancomycin resistant– MRSA acquire plasmids containing van genes from Vanco resistant
enterococci (VRE)

Streptococci
1. Nomenclaturea. Hemolytic criteria: alpha, beta, gammab. Lancefield group carbohydrates for beta-hemolytic streptococci: A, B, C, F, Gc. some beta-hemolytic streptococci produce identical carbohydrate antigens in unrelated species, and some genetically related species have heterogeneous carbohydrate antigens

2. Epidemiologya. normal flora of skin, mucosa (upper
respiratory tract, GU tract, GI tract)
b. disease can be due to person-person transmission or from endogenous strains

3. Pathogenesis
a. S. pyogenesi. Group A, beta-hemolytic
ii. acute pharyngitis, skin infections, bacteremia with potential for severe systemic effects
– toxic shock syndrome, necrotizing faciitis (“flesh-eating” disease)
iii. many toxins, enzymes, M protein which are all virulence factors
iv. post infection sequelae: Rheumatic fever, acute glomerulonephritis (AGN)
• reason for treating strep throat is to prevent these

b. S. agalactiaei. Group B, beta-hemolyticii. neonatal infections following PROM
early onset (day 0 – 5) late onset (day 7 – 90)
iii. screening of pregnant women at week 35- 37
c. S. pneumoniaei. alpha hemolyticii. pneumonia, meningitis, and otitis mediaiii. capsule has antiphagocytic activity
23 valent polysaccharide vaccine for adults 7 valent conjugated vaccine for kids

c. Enterococcusi. alpha, beta, or gamma hemolyticii. most infections are nosocomial: UTI, bacteremia,
endocarditisiii. multi-drug resistance contributes to pathogenesis;
penicillins, aminoglycosides, glycopeptides E. faecalis, vanA, vanB (plasmid, inducible) E. faecium, vanA, vanB (plasmid) E. gallinarum, vanC (chromosome) E. casseliflavus, vanC (chromosome)
d. Viridans streptococci and Abiotrophia sp.i. normal skin flora; non-pathogensii. endocarditis in compromised hosts iii. alpha hemolyticiv. Abiotrophia show satelliting

C. Identification algorithms
1. Gram stain: pairs, chains, clusters
2. Direct antigen detection
a. GAS from throat
b. Pneumococcus from CSF or blood cultures
3. Selective media
a. SSA for GAS from throat
b. GBS broth + Grenada agar

4. catalasea. positive: coagulase
i. positive: CPS (S. aureus)ii. negative: CNS
Yellow pigment: Micrococcus high numbers in urine, screen for Staphylococcus saprophyticus using
novobiocin (R = S. saprophyticus)
b. negative: hemolysisi. beta: typing: A, B, C, D, F
streptolysin O, S CAMP test for GBS
ii. alpha: optochin sensitive: S. pneumoniae resistant: Alpha-hemolytic streptococci
iii. gamma: PYR positive: Enterococcus
motile: E. casseliflavus or E. gallinarumnon-motile: biochems for E. faecalis or E. faecium
negative: Gamma-hemolytic streptococci
