This Course covers Introduction, morphology, cultural characteristics, biochemical reactions, resistance, pathogenicity and virulence, staphylococcal diseases, typing methods, epidemiology, laboratory diagnosis and treatment.

English

Staphylococcus Aureus - GATE (Life Sciences - XL)

This lesson includes the list of topics that are to be discussed in this course in detail.

Course Overview

A brief history about the discovery of the organism, it’s grape like cluster morphology, and cultural characters on nutrient agar, blood agar, MacConkey agar, liquid media and selective media are discussed in detail with their colony morphology.

Introduction, Morphology And Cultural Characteristics

The different tests it gives a positive and negative to followed by the resistance pattern of the organism to environmental conditions, heat as well as to penicillin.

Biochemical Tests And Resistance

Infectious and intoxications infections. Cell associated polymers, cell surface proteins, and extra cellular enzymes are discussed in detail.

Pathogenicity And Virulence

Cytolytic toxins - alpha, beta, gamma and delta; leucocidins, enterotoxin- food poisoning are discussed in detail.

Toxins

Toxic shock syndrome and exfoliative toxin are discussed in detail in this lesson.

Toxins - 2

Common pyogenic staphylococcal infections and toxin- mediated infections are discussed in detail followed by typing methods.

Staphylococcal Diseases and Typing Methods

The prevalence of this disease at different locations is discussed in detail.

Epidemiology

Specimen collection, microscopy, culture, identification and serological tests are given in detail.

Laboratory Diagnosis

The susceptibility and resistance patterns of these organisms towards different drugs are given in detail.

Treatment

Other coagulase positive staphylococci, coagulase negative staphylococci and micrococci are discussed in brief.
