1. Normal flora of the skin -Acinetobacter
-Staphylococcus epidermidis
-Staphylococcus aureus
-Corynebacterium
-Streptococcal
-Propionibacterium
-Pseudomonas aeruginosa
-Candida Albicans
2. What is the most common and -gram positive
broadest categories of bacte- -gram negative (majority of the bacteria)
ria? -Aerobic (require oxygen)
-Anaerobic (don't require oxygen)
*facultative (can live w and w/o O2)
*obligate (lives only with O2)
3. Gram-positive cocci, aerobic, -staph aureus
cluster, coagulase + -causes nosocomial/community acquired infections
-treat with Penicillins (nafcillin, oxacillin, dicloxacillin
-treat with cefazolin (Ancef, 1st gen cephlasporin)
4. Gram-positive cocci, aerobic, -staph epidermidis*(prosthetic joints, mech valves, intravas-
cluster, coagulase - cular catheters)
-staph hominus
-staph hemmolyticus
-staph saprophyticus*(2nd most common cause of UTI)
-staph warneri
5. Gram-positive cocci, aerobic, -strep pneumoniae
pairs, alpha hemolytic -most common cause of CAP, bacterial meningitis, sepsis,
otitis media, sinusitis
-Asplenia should get staph vaccination

6. Gram-positive cocci, aerobic, -strep viridans
chains, alpha hemolytic -three subtypes:
1) strep mutant-dental caries
2) strep sanguis-subacute bacterial endocarditis
3) strep intermedius-abscesses
7. Gram-positive cocci, aerobic, -strep pyrogens group A *(produces pus, transmitted by resp
chains, beta- hemolytic droplets, causes pharyngitis, impetigo, erysipelas, celluli-
tis, *necrotizing fascitis, rheumatic fever, post-streptococcal
glomerulonephritis)
-strep agalactiae group B
-strep bovis group D (usually associated with colon cancer,
needs GI workup)
8. Gram-positive cocci, obligate -Petococcus
anaerobes, pairs&chains -peptostreptococcus
9. Gram-positive cocci facultative, -Enterococcus (requires extended course of BS antibiotics)
anaerobes, pairs&chains -two subtypes: (both cause nosocomial infections, UTIs in
catheter patients, post-surgical peritonitis, subacute bacterial
endocarditis)
1) enterococcus faecalis
2) enterococcus faecium
10. When should you NOT delay an- -with fever and neutropenia because it is fatal
tibiotics (before cultures)?
11. Gram-positive bacilli, aerobic, Bacillus
spore forming
12. Gram-positive bacilli, aerobic, -Lactobacillus
nonspore forming -Listeria
