Please answer the following questions:

Step 1 of 2

Please select the correct statement(s)(Required)

In the setting presented in VC212: an acute complex illness with a high risk of fatal outcome, the most appropriate and useful action would be to refer the request of a microbiologist, hospital pharmacist, or infectious diseases physician.

Largely because of their low lipophilicity, cephalosporins poorly penetrate through the blood-brain barrier, achieving relatively low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations.

Because extended spectrum cephalosporins poorly penetrate though the blood-brain barrier, CSF drug concentrations may not achieve the minimum bactericidal concentrations for common meningeal pathogens.

Please answer the following questions:

Step 1 of 2

Please select the correct statement(s)(Required)

Invasive pneumococcal dis-ease is typically seen in patients less than 2 or more than 50 years of age

The Gram reaction and morphology of the organisms in a CSF Gram stain is important for the presumptive identification of the causative organism.

Adults with pneumococcal meningitis have been found to have positive Gram stains in 81–93% of cases.

The presence of white blood cells in the CSF is useful to support the diagnosis of meningitis.

Please answer the following questions:

Step 1 of 2

Please select the image that best represents a Gram stain of a joint fluid with Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Please answer the following questions:

Week 21

Posted on June 5, 2023 by Riya Ghandi

Please answer the following questions:

Step 1 of 2

Please select the correct statement(s)(Required)

Species of the Enterobacter cloacae complex have not been isolated from environmental sources

Enterobafcter amingenus, or Lellottia amnigena etc. are members of the Enterobacter cloacae complex and they are primarily human pathogens

Enterobacter aerogenes, Enterobacter cloacae, and Enterobacter hormaechei represent the most frequently isolated species described in clinical infections, especially in immunocompromised patients and those hospitalized in an intensive care unit (ICU).

Week 20

Please answer the following questions:

Week 19

Posted on May 22, 2023 by Riya Ghandi

Please answer the following questions:

Step 1 of 2

Please select the correct statement(s)(Required)

Citrobacter is an opportunistic pathogen which has been recognized as an important cause of nosocomial infections, especially in neonates, and immunocompromised patients.

Citrobacter freundii can be mistakenly identified as Citrobacter braakii by MALDI-TOF

Reporting Citrobacter species identification is important as the different species have significantly different clinical importance

Citrobacter species are intrinsically resistant to ampicillin, but usually susceptible to first generation cephalosporins

Week 18

Posted on May 15, 2023 by Riya Ghandi

Please answer the following questions:

Step 1 of 2

Please select the correct statement(s)(Required)

Gram positive bacteria are responsible for the majority of the posttraumatic endophthalmitis.

Infectious endophthalmitis always have an exogenous source.

Bacillus ocular infections do not require antibiotic treatment as they usually resolve without treatment.

The most common species of Bacillus associated with posttraumatic endophthalmitis are B. cereus, B. subtilis, and B. licheniformis.
