A throat culture grows normal oropharyngeal microbiota. The coagulase test for the organism is positive. What is the genus and species of the organism?
1. Staphylococcus
aureus
2. Streptococcus agalactiae
3. Streptococcus pyogenes
4. Staphylococcus epidermidis
1. staphylococcus aureus
pharynx is called throat : these contains 3 parts oropharynx and nasopharynx, laryngopharynx or hypopharynx .
oropharyngial microbiota is major reservoir for infections.
aureus produce two types of coagulases. that is free coagulase and bound coagulase.
coagulase test organism is Positive ....in this test produces coagulase enzyme with catalyzes the conversion of soluble fibrinogen in plasma to insoluble fibrin.

Case Study
#1
Clinical
history: An HIV positive male presented in clinic with
confusion and disorientation. He had a fever 38.5°C and
photophobia. His CD4 T cell count was 80/ul. An MRI and lumbar
puncture were performed. The MRI showed various small lesions
within the brain. CSF analysis indicated 32 White Blood Cells/ul
with 89% lymphocytes, and 6% monocytes, glucose of 22mg/dl, and
protein of 89mg/dl. Gram stain showed yeast and India ink negative
stain showed a thick capsule.

All of the following are characteristic of Staphylococcus aureus EXCEPT 1- produces coagulase 2- ferments mannitol 3- grows on an MSA plate (i.e., halotolerant) 4- grows in chains You have isolated gram-positive cocci from a throat culture that you cannot identify as staphylococci or streptococci. A test for one enzyme can be used to distinguish these bacteria quickly. What is the enzyme? 1- dogalase 2- catalase 3- lactamase A candle jar is used to culture Streptococci because they 1- grow...
Laboratory & Exercises 1. You will not be physically performing these activities. However, you will be responsible for knowing how to perform and interpret them. View the following video clips: • SE Broth & Bile Esculin • CAMP Test 2. Review how to interpret the following tests by completing the chart: Positive Result Negative Result Gram Stain for cocci and bacilli purple Schaeffer-Fulton Stain for Endospores Negative Stain for Capsules Catalase (Reagent: Hydrogen peroxide) Coagulase (Reagent: Rabbit Plasma) Oxidase (Reagent:...
