Hermsii – Relapsing Fever • Mammalian reservoirs – squirrels, chipmunks, wild rodents • Tick-borne • After 2-15-day incubation, patients have high fever, shaking, chills, headache, and fatigue • Nausea, vomiting, muscle aches, abdominal pain; extensive damage to liver, spleen, heart, kidneys, and cranial nerves • Parasite changes and immune system tries to control it – Recurrent relapses • Tetracycline 19 Figure 21.10 Pattern in relapsing fever 20 B. Burgdorferi – Lyme Disease • Carried by white-footed mouse, transmitted by Ixodes ticks • Complex 2-year cycle involving mice and deer • Nonfatal, slowly progressive syndrome that mimics neuromuscular and rheumatoid conditions • 50-70% get bull’s eye rash • Fever, headache, stiff neck, and dizziness • If untreated can progress to cardiac and neurological symptoms, polyarthritis • Tetracycline, amoxicillin • Vaccine for dogs, human vaccine discontinued • Insect repellant containing DEET 21 Figure 21.11 Cycle of Lyme disease 22 Figure 21.12 Views of Lyme disease skin rash 23 21.2 Curviform Gram-Negative Bacteria and Enteric Diseases Three genera: 1. Vibrio – comma-shaped rods, single polar flagellum 2. Campylobacter – short spirals or curved rods; one flagellum 3. Helicobacter – spirochete with tight spirals and several polar flagella 24 Vibrio Cholera • • • • • Comma-shaped, possess unique O and H Ags El Tor biotype: survives longer, more infectious Infectious dose 108 Infects mucous barrier of small intestine, noninvasive Cholera toxin causes electrolyte and water loss through secretory diarrhea, “rice water stool”; resulting dehydration leads to muscle, circulatory, and neurological symptoms • Treatment: oral rehydration, tetracycline • Vaccine available 25 Figure 21.14 (a-b) Alterations in intestinal function caused by cholera toxin 26 Figure 21.14 (c) Alterations in intestinal function caused by cholera toxin 27 Pathogens Carried by Seafood • Salt-tolerant inhabitants of coastal waters, associate with marine invertebrates • Vibrio parahaemolyticus – gastroenteritis from raw seafood; symptoms similar to cholera • Vibrio vulnificus – gastroenteritis from raw oysters; serious complications in persons with diabetes or liver disease • Treatment – fluid and electrolyte replacement; occasionally antimicrobials 28 Diseases of the Campylobacter Vibrios • Campylobacters – slender, curved, or spiral bacilli, often S-shaped or gull-winged pairs • Polar flagella • Common residents of the intestinal tract, genitourinary tract, the oral cavity of birds and mammals • Most important: – Campylobacter jejuni – C. fetus 29 Campylobacter Jejuni Enteritis • Important cause of bacterial gastroenteritis • Transmitted by beverages and food • Reach mucosa at the last segment of small intestine near colon; adhere, burrow through mucus and multiply • Heat-labile enterotoxin CJT stimulates a secretory diarrhea like that of cholera • Symptoms of headache, fever, abdominal pain, bloody or watery diarrhea • Treatment with rehydration and electrolyte balance therapy 30 • Campylobacter fetus – opportunistic pathogen that infects debilitated persons or women late in pregnancy • Meningitis, pneumonia, arthritis, septicemia in the newborn 31 Helicobacter Pylori: Gastric Pathogen • Curved cells discovered in 1979 in stomach biopsied specimens • Causes 90% of stomach and duodenal ulcers; apparent cofactor in stomach cancer • People with type O blood have a 1.5-2X higher rate of ulcers • Produces urease which converts urea into ammonium and bicarbonate 32 Figure 21.16 The causative agent of stomach ulcers 33 21.3 Medically Important Bacteria of Unique Morphology and Biology 34 Family Rickettsiaceae • Contains about 23 species of pathogens, mainly in the genus Rickettsia • Cause diseases called rickettsioses • All are intracellular parasites requiring live cells for cultivation • Spend part of their life cycle in arthropod vectors • Rickettsioses are important emerging diseases 35 Rickettsia • • • • • • Obligate intracellular parasites Gram-negative cell wall Among the smallest bacteria Nonmotile pleomorphic rods or coccobacilli Ticks, fleas, and lice are involved in their life cycle Bacteria enter endothelial cells and cause necrosis of the vascular lining – vasculitis, vascular leakage, and thrombosis 36 Specific Rickettsioses 1. Epidemic typhus – R. prowazekii carried by lice; starts with a high fever, chills, headache, rash; BrillZinsser is a chronic, recurrent form 2. Endemic typhus – R. typhi, harbored by mice and rats; occurs sporadically in areas of high flea infestation; milder symptoms 3. Rocky Mountain spotted fever – R. rickettsii zoonosis carried by dog and wood ticks; most cases in Southeast and on eastern seaboard; distinct spotted rash; may damage heart and CNS 4. Ehrlichia genus contains 2 species of rickettsias; tickborne bacteria cause human monocytic and granulocytic ehrlichiosis 37 38 Figure 21.18 Trends in infection for Rocky Mountain spotted fever 39 Figure 21.19 Transmission cycle in Rocky Mountain spotted fever 40 Figure 21.20 Rash in RMSF 41 Related to the Rickettsioses • Coxiella burnetti • Bartonella sp. 42 Coxiella Burnetti • • • • • • • • Causes Q fever Intracellular parasite Produces an unusual resistant spore Harbored by a wide assortment of vertebrates and arthropods Infectious material includes urine, feces, milk, and airborne particles Usually inhaled causing pneumonitis, fever, hepatitis Tetracycline treatment Vaccine available 43 Bartonella Species • Small gram-negative, fastidious, cultured on blood agar • Cause: – Trench fever, spread by lice – Cat-scratch disease, a lymphatic infection associated with a clawing injury by cats – Bacillary angiomatosus in AIDS patients • Tetracycline, erythromycin, and rifampin 44 Figure 21.22 Cat-scratch disease 45 The Chlamydiaceae • Obligate intracellular parasites • Small, gram-negative cell wall • Alternate between 2 stages: – Elementary body – small metabolically inactive, extracellular, infectious form released by the infected host – Reticulate body – noninfectious, actively dividing form, grows within host cell vacuoles 46 Figure 21.23 Life cycle of Chlamydia 47 Chlamydia Trachomatis • Human reservoir • 2 strains • Trachoma – attacks the mucous membranes of the eyes, genitourinary tract, and lungs – Ocular trachoma – severe infection, deforms eyelid and cornea, may cause blindness – Inclusion conjunctivitis – occurs as baby passes through birth canal; prevented by prophylaxis – STD – second most prevalent STD; urethritis, cervicitis, salpingitis (PID), infertility, scarring • Lymphogranuloma venereum – disfiguring disease of the external genitalia and pelvic lymphatics 48 Figure 21.24 The pathology of primary ocular chlamydial infection 49 Figure 21.26 Diagnosis of chlamydial infection 50 Chlamydophila – A New Genus • Contains members that used to be members of genus Chlamydia • Chlamydophila pneumoniae – causes an atypical pneumonia that is serious in asthma patients • C. psittaci – causes ornithosis, a zoonosis transmitted to humans from bird vectors; highly communicable among all birds; pneumonia or flulike infection with fever, lung congestion 51 21.4 Molliculites and Other CellWall-Deficient Bacteria • • • • • Called mycoplasmas Naturally lack cell walls, highly pleomorphic Require special lipids from host membranes Treated with tetracycline, erthyromycin M. pneumoniae – primary atypical pneumonia; pathogen slowly spreads over interior respiratory surfaces, causing fever, chest pain, and sore throat • M. genitalium and Ureplasma urealyticum – weak sexually transmitted pathogens 52 Figure 21.27 The morphology of mycoplasmas 53 Bacteria That Have Lost Their Cell Walls • Exposure to certain drugs or enzymes can result in cell wall-deficient bacteria called L forms or L-phase • Induced or occur spontaneously • May be involved in some chronic diseases – L- phase variants of group A streptococci, Proteus, and Corynebacterium, Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis 54 21.5 Bacteria in Dental Disease • • Oral cavity is a complex, dynamic ecosystem, containing 400 species Dental caries – slow progressive infection of irregular areas of enamel surface 1. Begins with colonization by slime-forming species of Streptococcus and cross adherence with Actinomyces 2. Process forms layer of thick, adherent material (plaque) that harbors masses of bacteria which produce acid that dissolves enamel 55 3. If plaque is allowed to stay, secondary invaders appear – Lactobacillus, Bacteroides, Fusobacterium, Porphyromonas, Treponema 4. Acid dissolves tooth enamel leading to caries and tooth damage 56 Figure 21.28 The anatomy of a tooth 57 Figure 21.29 Events leading to dental caries, periodontal disease, and bone loss 58 Figure 21.30 Stages in the formation of plaque and dental caries 59 Periodontal Disease • Soft tissue disease • When plaque becomes calcified into calculus above and below the gingiva • This irritates tender gingiva causing inflammation – Gingivitis • Pockets between tooth and gingiva are invaded by bacteria (spirochetes and gram-negative bacilli) • Tooth socket may be involved (peridontitis) • Tooth may be lost 60 Plaque and Calculus 61 Figure 21.33 Stages in soft-tissue infection, gingivitis, and periodontitis 62 Figure 21.34 Exudate from a gingival pocket 63
