- Diphtheria

- Rhinosinusitis and otitis media

• Lower respiratory tract :- Pneumonia

- Tuberculosis

Page 3: shler.ghafour@tis.edu...Haemophilus influenzae on chocolate agar enriched with (factor X & V). Streptococcus pneumonia on blood agar-Disadvantage: slow growth of about 4 to 6 weeks.-Advantage:

Common pathogenic bacteria

- Β-haemolytic streptococci group A

- Streptococcus pneumoniae

- Corynebacterium diphtheriae

- Bordetella pertussis

- Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Page 4: shler.ghafour@tis.edu...Haemophilus influenzae on chocolate agar enriched with (factor X & V). Streptococcus pneumonia on blood agar-Disadvantage: slow growth of about 4 to 6 weeks.-Advantage:

Sample collection

- Throat swab (posterior pharyngeal swab)

- Nasopharyngeal swab

- Ear swab

Collection of sputum

• Early morning sputum is preferred because they containpooled overnight secretion in which, pathogenic bacteria are morelikely to be concentrated.

Sample collection for tuberculosis

Fresh sputum

Gastric Lavage

Urine

Blood

Other body fluids ( Spinal, Pleural, pus )

Tissue Biopsy

1- Microscopically

Page 8: shler.ghafour@tis.edu...Haemophilus influenzae on chocolate agar enriched with (factor X & V). Streptococcus pneumonia on blood agar-Disadvantage: slow growth of about 4 to 6 weeks.-Advantage:

Ziehl-Neelsen stain

• Acid-fast stain (Ziehl-Neelsen method) is a usefuldifferential staining procedure that specifically stains allmembers of the genera mycobacteria. Gold standard for TB andLeprosy.

• Carbol fuschin

• Acid (such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid)

• Methylene blue

Streptococcus pyogenes in gram stain

Diagnostic characteristics :

- Gram positive.

- Cocci.

- In chain.

This bacteria cause Pharyngitis or Tonsillitis

in upper respiratory tract

Page 10: shler.ghafour@tis.edu...Haemophilus influenzae on chocolate agar enriched with (factor X & V). Streptococcus pneumonia on blood agar-Disadvantage: slow growth of about 4 to 6 weeks.-Advantage:

Klebsiella pneumoniae

Diagnostic characteristics :

- Gram-negative.

- Encapsulated.

- Rod-shaped.

This bacteria cause Pneumonia

in lower respiratory tract

Page 11: shler.ghafour@tis.edu...Haemophilus influenzae on chocolate agar enriched with (factor X & V). Streptococcus pneumonia on blood agar-Disadvantage: slow growth of about 4 to 6 weeks.-Advantage:

Corynebacterium diphtheriae

Gram stain Albert stain

Page 12: shler.ghafour@tis.edu...Haemophilus influenzae on chocolate agar enriched with (factor X & V). Streptococcus pneumonia on blood agar-Disadvantage: slow growth of about 4 to 6 weeks.-Advantage:

Streptococcus pneumonia

Diagnostic characteristics :

-Streptococcus pneumonia in sputum

smear stained with gram stain.

- Gram positive.

- Diplococci or short chain.

- Encapsulated.

This bacteria cause Pneumonia

in lower respiratory tract

Page 13: shler.ghafour@tis.edu...Haemophilus influenzae on chocolate agar enriched with (factor X & V). Streptococcus pneumonia on blood agar-Disadvantage: slow growth of about 4 to 6 weeks.-Advantage:

Identification of M. tuberculosis in clinical specimens

• Microscopic search for acid-fast bacilli using:-

• Ziehl-Neelsen stain most rapid test

– M. tuberculosis not be reliably distinguished

• Small amount of bacilli in sample give negative

results

• Low sensitivity.

• Therefore definitive identification only be obtained

by:-

• culturing organism (The Löwenstein–Jensen medium)`

• molecular methods (PCR).

Page 14: shler.ghafour@tis.edu...Haemophilus influenzae on chocolate agar enriched with (factor X & V). Streptococcus pneumonia on blood agar-Disadvantage: slow growth of about 4 to 6 weeks.-Advantage:

• Blood agar

• Chocolate agar (5-10% CO2)

• Tellurite blood agar (Corynebacterium spp).

• Lowenstein Jensen medium (pulmonary tuberculosis)

2- Cultivation

Page 15: shler.ghafour@tis.edu...Haemophilus influenzae on chocolate agar enriched with (factor X & V). Streptococcus pneumonia on blood agar-Disadvantage: slow growth of about 4 to 6 weeks.-Advantage:

Purpose of a clinical specimen culture:

• To identify the specific organisms that cause infection.

• To test the antibiotics for their effectiveness in treating different infections.

Antibiotic sensitivity assay

Streptococcus pyogenes in blood agar culture

Group A (beta-hemolytic) streptococcus

Streptococcus pneumonia on blood agar

Page 20: shler.ghafour@tis.edu...Haemophilus influenzae on chocolate agar enriched with (factor X & V). Streptococcus pneumonia on blood agar-Disadvantage: slow growth of about 4 to 6 weeks.-Advantage:

- Disadvantage: slow growth of about 4 to 6 weeks.

- Advantage: more sensitive than direct microscopy

When grown on LJ medium, M. tuberculosisappears as brown, granular colonies (sometimescalled "buff, rough and tough")

• Cultures detect small Number of organisms in

sample.

Page 21: shler.ghafour@tis.edu...Haemophilus influenzae on chocolate agar enriched with (factor X & V). Streptococcus pneumonia on blood agar-Disadvantage: slow growth of about 4 to 6 weeks.-Advantage:

Tuberculin test (tuberculosis skin test)

• A tuberculin skin test to see if you have ever been

exposed to tuberculosis.

• The TB antigens used in a tuberculin skin test are called

purified protein derivative (PPD).

• A tuberculin skin test cannot tell how long you have been

infected with TB. It also cannot tell if the infection

is latent(inactive) or is active and can be passed to

others.

Page 22: shler.ghafour@tis.edu...Haemophilus influenzae on chocolate agar enriched with (factor X & V). Streptococcus pneumonia on blood agar-Disadvantage: slow growth of about 4 to 6 weeks.-Advantage:

• The skin test reaction should be read between 48

and 72 hours after administration

• The reaction should be measured in millimeters

of the induration (palpable, raised, hardened area

or swelling)

About 10 mm positive

Below 5 mm negative

Nucleic acid amplification (Molecular test)

• Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) :

• Amplifies a small portion of a predetermined target region of M.

tuberculosis DNA.

• Shorten time required to detect and identify M. tuberculosis in clinical

specimens.

• Sensitivity of test ranges from 75 %to 100 %

• Specificity of 95% to 100 %
