|
|
furunculosis are large painful, raised nodules that have an underlying collection of dead and necrotic tissue.
|
|
|
Carbuncles occur when furuncle coalesce and ext to the deeper subcutaneous tissue and is often associated with system spread via bacteremia causing fevers and chills; caused by s. aureus
|
|
|
is a common infection of the skin and the soft tissues underneath the skin. Bacteria invade broken or normal skin and start to spread under the skin and into the soft tissues.
Inflammation may cause swelling, redness, pain, and/or warmth; caused by staph |
|
|
also known as Ritter von Ritterschein disease (in newborns), Ritter disease, and staphylococcal epidermal necrolysis, encompasses a spectrum of superficial blistering skin disorders caused by the exfoliative toxins of some strains of Staphylococcus aureus. Severity of staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome varies from a few blisters localized to the site of infection to a severe exfoliation affecting almost the entire body
|
|
which staph toxins act as superantigens
|
exfoliative toxin A and TSST-1
SAg binds TCR and MHC II simultaneously; nonspcific stimulatoin of T cells; cytokin estorm; hypotension, shock, fever |
|
|
alpha toxin
|
Lyses cells by creating pores disrupting muscle tissue, blood vessels, lyses erythrocytes, hepatocytes and platelets.
|
|
|
beta toxin
|
Catalyses the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin and lysophosphatidylcholine as a result it disrupts membranes and cause lysis.
|
|
|
Delta toxin
|
It acts as a surfactant to disrupt membranes.
|
|
|
Gamma and P-V leukocidin:
|
Both are composed of 2 peptide chains. They lyse leukocytes and macrophages
|
|
|
P-V leukocidin
|
a pore forming toxin. It is rare in hospital acquired MRSA Staphylococcus aureus infections but is found in 100% of community acquired MRSA Staph aureus infection. This reflects the current understanding that the evolution of MRSA in these two contexts occurred independently. One did not originate with the other.
Actually P-V producing S. aureus appears to be associated with community acquired Furunculosis (boils) or severe hemorrhagic pneumonia or both found in young adults and children. The important connection being that young adults suffering from recurrent boils and presenting with pneumonia deserves particular attention because the mortality rate associated with the hemorrhagic lung disease is very high. |
|
|
exfoliative toxins
|
Exfoliative toxins are serine proteases that split desmoglein, which is one of a series of proteins required for holding cells together in the stratum granulosum of keratinized epidermis. As a result there is severe blistering and then exfoliation. The degree of exfoliation depends on the degree of dissemination.
|
|
|

|
dissolves clots
|
|
|
lipase
|

|

|
|
|
coagulase
|
The cell bound form clumps Staphylococcal cells and the secreted form converts fibrinogen to fibrin to cause formation of a fibrin layer around the Staphylococci and causes clot formation. The protects the bacterial cells from phagocytosis.
